Seniors Stableford and Open news from Vale Royal and Arscott May 14th 2015


Although 44 players played at either Arscott or Vale Royal today, another 13 made it to the club for a kitty comp. Because the numbers were low  an individual stableford was played rather than the planned 9x2 + 9x3.The weather was cold compared to yesterday's warm sunshine but it stayed dry. Results were:
1st:   Dave F Jones, 37 points
2nd:  Graham Stokes, 36 points

3rd:  Irwin Elkin, 31 points


At Arcott the weather was really "horrid" It rained for most of the day which was a great shame as it is a beautiful course  which is shown it all its glory in sunshine. We saw no sun all day. Mind you Colin Brown despite his bad back managed to birdie the index 1 par 4 9th. It just less than 400 yards but is guarded by 2 bunkers. Colin hit an enormous drive (this hole was for the longest drive and he was only a few feet off that!) His 2nd shot came to rest within 3 feet of the pin and he holed out for a birdie 3 and 4 points. Colin is now basking in 35c so it should do his back good.

Typical scene at Arscott with brollies up!

Apparently Vale Royal was dry but somewhat cold and was enjoyed by all who played there,
