3 Ball 2 scores to count plus request for Seniors Open prizes. Report from Mike Healey

Seniors - Messages first: Chris Jacques gave a follow up appeal for donations of prizes for our Senior Open on 17th August. There will be a box in reception or give any prizes to Mike Holllings, who continues to work hard for the cause. Remember we benefit from any profits made from this particular raffle. You received a calendar yesterday and I'm afraid there was an error. I do not know how many are playing on President's Day but it is taking place on Saturday 19th August and not on Saturday 26th August as advertised. I have adjusted the date on the noticeboard - kindly adjust your own. Today's Result - Threeball - 2 to Count. It was advertised as a Pairs Betterball initially but numbers were wrong, so we set forth in threeballs and once again, it proved to be better with the timing. Everybody seemed to arrive back at the clubhouse in good time, presentations were made and all got away early. Although overcast, it remained warm throughout but scores not brilliant. The greens have been in excellent condition but 2 days of rain made progress up the fairways harder than normal, thus reducing points scores, with the exception of one group. There were three prizes in total: Threeball - 2 to Count: First: Jon Falcus, Alan Barnsdale and Peter Thomas - 85 points Second: Ernie Williams, Chris Blazdell and Ian Ketland - 75 points Third: Reg Peacock, Mike Scott and Colin Evans - 70 points (c/b) (2 other groups carded 70 points but missed out on countback)
