Seniors 3 clubs and putter September 30th 2021 report from Mike Healey

Seniors - Our numbers were down this morning and I wonder if members had a wary eye on the weather forecast. As it happens the BBC once again got most of it wrong. 21 intrepid seniors arrived for the draw with their 3 clubs and we proceeded as 7 x three balls. As suggested, we had very dark cloud cover in stages but the weather held and only the tail enders saw the slightest drop of rain. Largely, we arrived back inside with dry clothing, ready for some refreshment and banter. There were five prizes up for grabs and some very good scores returned. Obviously club selection was well thought through. 5 cards with 34 / 35 and 36 points were not good enough and countback was also required for the minor places but Mick Carnell shot a fantastic score - well done Mick. Please find results follow below. Congratulations were also due for Nigel Davies, who shot a Hole-in-One last week on the 12th hole at the Nicklaus Course, Carden Park. A bottle of whisky was placed on the bar and all were invited to celebrate with him. Message from Tony Harcombe - the original notice for the Oswestry Open next Wednesday has changed for a number of players and there is now a new notice on the Senior noticeboard. Please check before going next week.
