Seniors Open at Arscott Golf Club near Shrewsbury May 9th 2013


A large contingent of Clays Seniors competed at http://www.arscottgolfclub.co.uk/ in a pairs betterball stableford competition. The weather was atrocious with high winds and rain for most of the day and temperatures only around 10C.

Some gossip and photos below. More photos have been added via the official photographer on the first tee.

Colin Brown (Seniors Captain) along with his partner Tom McGrady had 34 points which was the highest score of all of the Clays competitors..well done!

Derek had an unfortunate shot on the 17th tee. In high winds and driving rain Tom hit a superb shot to about 1 o'clock on the green and then had 2 putts for his 3. Then Derek took a rescue club and after teeing his ball up took his shot not only to see where the ball went but to lose  his grip on the club which ended up some 30 yards away to the left of the tee. Applause started from some other members including Mike Turner who just happened to be passing in his car on his way home. He had stopped to allow Derek to play his shot and indicated he wished he had videod the event!
