3 scores to count plus 2 scores to count November 2nd 2021. Report from Mike Healey

Seniors - what a glorious day for golf. The weather was fine throughout and shirt sleeves were even on show in places. The torrential rain at the weekend left ground conditions rather soggy but at least it flattened the fallen leaves, making ball searches less formidable. We had a shortened 1st hole and both the 16th and 17th were closed, so reduced course length helped to some extent with timing. 38 members rolled up for the draw and 5 x fourballs played 3 to Count while 6 x threeballs played 2 to Count. The scoring was tight and required countback in both groups, leading to two prizes for each. Fourball - 3 to Count: First: Barry Evans, Harold Hughes, Dave Wright, Alan Bottomley 106 points (c/b) £4.00 each Second: Andy Mitchell, Stewart Poole, Bob Jarvis, Liam Roddis 106 points (c/b) £1.00 each Third: Richard Collier, Tom McGrady, Jon Falcus, Alan Barnsdale 100 points Threeball - 2 to Count: First: Graham Bryne, Barry Dare, Mike Drake 74 points £4.00 each Second: Ernie Williams, Nigel Harris, Mike Healey 73 points (c/b) £2.00 each Third: John Kelty, Ken Tieszen, Chris Jacques 73 points (c/b)
