Mexican Scramble December 1st 2020 results from Mike Healey

My club selection for the last week or so has been between paint brush and roller - I can't wait for Thursday! Before the result - can I remind you that there is a senior Xmas collection box for the green staff in reception. Here is today's Scramble report and result: Mexican Scramble - The weather held today after lengthy spells of rain over the past two days. The fairways were soft but not glutinous and in contrast, the greens are holding well for this time of year. Most members seemed to remember the playing format of Mexican Scramble, although quite a few questions were asked at the start. The new WHS handicap system for scrambles was sent out with the draw but turned out to be somewhat confusing, so we reverted to the old 10% for four balls and 15% for three balls. Be warned - we have to grasp the nettle at some stage with handicaps. Today it was the turn of the four balls to return the better scores and there were three prizes in total: First: Stewart Poole, Alan Bottomley, Barry Evans, Bob Jarvis 41.2 points £4.00 each Second: Colin Evans, Peter Fraser, Alan Barnsdale, Les Williams 42.8 points £3.00 each Third: Mike Kalka, Harold Hughes, Dilly Jones, Liam Roddis 43.0 Points £1.00 each Well done to all who played and thanks again to Mike Hollings and Steve Monk for help in resolving cards and prizes. Medal on Thursday (with English bods back in town) - two more Kitty Comps next week.
