Pairs Betterball March 10th 2020

Thank you Mike Healey for sending the following results:-

Surprisingly the course was open, after late night rain on Monday and a lot of it! 28 Seniors turned up for today's Pairs Betterball, despite the threat of showers, but sadly no sit-on buggies were allowed. The course was OK though and a strong wind, which blew throughout, will only help with the drying process. The sun also showed its face on occasion and some very close scores were returned at the end of the competition:

First:        George Hughes and Malcolm Williams            34 points

Second:    Andy Mitchell and Peter Bowen                      33 points

Third:        Barry Dare and Bob Jarvis                              32 points (Count back)

Fourth:      Ralph Howard and Alan Bottomley                  32 points (Count back)

It was a privilege to watch Alan Pocklington's first shot (drive) of the day land fifteen inches from the pin on the first hole. Not only did he sink the ensuing putt for a two, gaining five points in the process, but it was the only two of the day, entitling him to all of the sweep money. Well done Alan!
