Kitty competition result September 28th 2021 from Mike Healey

Seniors - First of all an explanation! We were all accused of being bandits last week in the pairs Betterball. As it happens we played off 95% handicap instead of 85%, which should be the new norm for Betterball scoring. It was our own kitty competition and the scores would still have been up there anyway, so it matters not! What about today? On early arrival we were informed that two holes had been shortened because of groundwork on drainage systems, so the Stableford Qualifier was rapidly converted into a straightforward kitty competition. The original weather forecast was rain at 8.00am and torrential rain at 10am, so rather than wait for a tally draw and a lengthy starting time on the tees, the troops were sent out into any group of four they could muster. 34 members were up and running before 9.00am. We had rain for about an hour but the downpour that was promised did not materialise. It was damp but the weather did nothing to threaten the golf! Once again, some good scores were returned and if you didn't have 40 points, you were not in the prizes. Even then countback was required. Don't forget - three clubs and a putter on Thursday! Bags will be checked!! Congratulations to the following seniors.
