Texas Scramble Report from Mike Healey May 20th 2021

Texas Scramble 20th May 36 seniors signed up in advance of the day, which would have been perfect numbers for a scramble but the weather forecast was not confirmed at this stage. No fewer than 5 rang in for one reason or another to cancel their tee and the groups all had to be adjusted. It makes no never mind – 31 brave souls togged themselves up in wet weather gear and set forth for two competitions – 5 x three ball and 4 x four ball. At this point, I unreservedly apologise for sending players out under these conditions for a Scramble. In hindsight, another format might have been warmer with better movement. Conditions on the course were not great from the outset, with preferred lies across the course. Blustery gusts of wind and rain continued with increasing intensity and two groups finished after 9 holes. The majority stuck to their task and here are the results: Three Ball First: Don Wraight, Graham Bryne, Bob Brown score = 60 exact £4.00 each Second: Mike Hollings, Steve Monk, Mike Scott score = 65.92 £1.00 each Other scores: 71.43 and 2 x 9 holes: 35.23 and 38.59 Four Ball First: Alan Barnsdale, Mike Griffiths, Barry Dare, Peter Fraser score = 61.69 £4.00 each Other scores: 62.41, 65.30, 66.57 Well done to all who braved the weather.
