Texas Shamble October 15th 2019

Thank you to Mike Healey for the following report

Texas Shamble - a new format for the boys and some were sceptical but it proved to be a popular format which will undoubtedly be repeated in the future. Everybody drives (3 from each player) and then team players play their own ball out from the best drive. Scoring is Stableford and best two scores count. We had to run a 3 ball comp and a 4 ball comp because of numbers. The weather held but conditions were damp underfoot and preferred lies were in operation. Not only did members have to cope with conditions and format but the new stroke indices came into play with brand new cards. All in all a thinking man's day for the 33 members who took part.
