Bonus Ball May 13th 2021. Report from Mike Healey

Fellow Seniors - the withdrawal of ride-ons early morning had been accounted for and a contingency plan put into place. It would have left three fourballs in a separate competition. Two no-shows did not help matters leaving one fourball at the end. With members arriving at different times, it was difficult to adjust even further, given the numbers. Prizes always reflect the numbers in the competition so the fourball were the winners of their own competition and receive £1.00 each. Derek - Report: From an organisational point of view, the figures were difficult to arrange today. Contingency plans were in place in anticipation of no buggies, but numbers were still fluid after that. As a result, 33 members contested today's Bonus Ball. The overnight rain materialised and the course was quite damp in places. Light rain was persistent early on but the temperature increased as we got through the round. Four holes were closed, which brought every body back in early. The bonus on lowest score (front 7) proved difficult for some groups but most teams made up for that with bonus on best score (back 7). Result - Bonus Ball First: Mike Scott, Bob Brown, Harold Hughes 110 points £6.00 each Second: Colin Brown, Mike Drake, Peter Fraser 109 points £3.00 each Third: Steve Monk, Peter Bowen, Les Williams 102 points £1.00 each Remaining scores: 101, 101, 99, 95, 94, 90, 86, 85 Fourball - 118 points
