Seniors Yellow ball April 29th 2021...report via Mike Healey

Report: Once again a fantastic number for the Yellow Ball (53) and nearly all turned up on time. There were questions about the format but everybody soon got into the swing of things. Quite a few struggled with the putting today but the ground staff were working on the greens during the afternoon and a good down pour would also help the distribution of the sand. Weather-wise, we experienced mixed conditions - sunshine and light showers but towards the end the temperatures dropped quite rapidly and the tail-enders suffered a little from the cold. Because the numbers changed, we finished with 6 x four-balls and 9 x three-balls, which altered the prize money. Please find results below: Yellow Ball 29th April Four- balls: 1st: Derek Jones, Rodney Evans, Bob Jarvis, Mike Scott (174 points) £4.00 each 2nd: Tom Pierce, David Jones, Harold Hughes, Irwin Elkin (165 points) £2.00 each Three-Balls: 1st: Barry Dare, Barry Evans, Mike Parkes (144 points) £5.00 each 2nd: Colin Brown, Richard Collier, Ralph Howard (141 points) £3.00 each 3rd: Mike Drake, Peter Taylor, Ernie Williams (139 points) £1.00 each
