Derek is deeply indebted to Steve Monk for the following report....
25 members turned out in very frosty conditions to play a 'Hogmanay' Individual Stableford. Landing a ball on the greens was tricky due to the frost - low runners often stopped short as the ball was grabbed by the frost, whereas a high pitch sometimes resulted in the ball bouncing so high that it disappeared first bounce somewhere behind the green. Nevertheless some creditable scores were recorded and the sun shone for most of the time - though never high enough to melt all of the frost.
Results (from 17 holes played, the 2nd being omitted) were as follows.
1st - Mike Goring with 37 points.
2nd - Malcolm Williams with 32 points.
3rd - Bob Jarvis with 30 points.
4th - Don Wraight with 29 points.
5th - Barry Dare with 28 points (on countback)
John Hughes sent the following 2 photos which he took earlier in the week.
