The Final Scramble
Today's 3 man Texas Scramble attracted 31 golfers including a new member John Weir and I hope he enjoyed himself and will regularly turn out. All 18 holes were open and on the main greens, which is a testament to the green staff. However it was very noticeable how many pitchmarks were not repaired. As a section could we please make a concerted effort to keep the greens pitch mark free. The same goes for divots, at this time of the year they will knit quickly so please put any you see into a hole. It doesn't need to be the same hole it came from and if we all did one extra per fairway, they would soon be free of sods. Although we may not have created what we don't want is people playing the course after our section, finding pitchmarks/divots and blaming the Seniors.
As for the golf, one team stood out from the crowd
with
an excellent score of 66 gross but unfortunately they could not deduct their
handicap allowance correctly, so were disqualified by the Vice Captain. Ironically his team was promoted into the
money. For the record Paul England
may want to know that it was Dave Mugridge who marked signed the card and it
was verified by John Evans, better luck next time lads.
There were two deuces Messrs. Mugridge, Evans and England trio on the 9th and Brent and Fisk pairing on the 16th. As the 2's is a separate competition the trio were not able to be disqualified.

By the time it has taken to type this report, compassion
welled within me so I have reinstated the winners, but only as a New Years
gesture of goodwill. Have a fun New Years Eve one and all, see you in the next decade.
