Kitty competition March 17th 2020

Mike Healey reported as follows. Following on from the Senior Captain’s advice and decision not to hold Kitty Competitions in the near future, members of the committee arrived this morning to both clean the tally board (all praise to Don – pictured)

and explain face to face to any Senior members who arrived expecting to play. Given the numbers that arrived, it would appear that most Seniors have received the decision by e-mail and voted with their very sensible feet. There will be no Kitty Competitions for the foreseeable future and as soon as this decision is reversed, then obviously we will make an announcement to all members concerned.

Fourteen members turned out expecting to play and there was no reason not to. All members arriving in the foyer kept their distance and there is no reason why we cannot continue to go out in 2’s, 3’s and 4’s providing we are sensible. Elbows are good after matches and a thorough washing of hands has to be the priority at all times. Don is going to cancel the Seniors block-booking on a weekly basis and we need to book through the club web site, as we see fit on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As we see it, it will be a roll-up basis like most of us do at weekends. Adjacent groups are at liberty to arrange their own competitions and no doubt will do that.  It might be too long to hold our breath but let’s hope that sanctions are lifted as soon as possible. 

Don Wraight supplied the following results from today's individual stableford. Only 13  holes open.

1. Ken Tieszen 33 points
2. Alan Bottomley  29 points
3. Harold Hughes 27 points
4. Alan Barnsdale 25 points - countback back 9
