Indoor putting results etc December 9th 2021. Report from Mike Healey

Indoor Putting - So today six turned up for coffee, baps and the lightening fast indoor putting. Three circuits were completed (18 holes) each. Colin Evans and Alan Barnsdale returned a respectable 33 putts each but the winnings were taken by Senior Captain - Chris Jacques with 31 putts. Well done all! This is also a gentle reminder about our Senior Xmas Party (as if we need one!!) Time-honoured members generally know the routine but as a committee, we are advising newcomers as to the long-tested routine. Firstly – The Scramble (Fingers crossed that it goes ahead - given the course and weather conditions currently) will start promptly at 9.00am. Please arrive in plenty of time to walk to your tee, with your team ready to start on time. Don and Steve have worked hard on sorting the teams from the sign-up list and a draw has been made on your behalf – see noticeboard. There is a complicated handicap set up for the occasion but the committee will alleviate any problems arising. Please make sure that the completed cards are handed to Mike Healey before disappearing off home for showers and glad rags. Should the course be closed we are inviting members to an indoor putting session (like today). Coffee at 9.00 and putting from 9.30 onwards. It is unlikely that Hayley will have time for bacon baps in the morning!! The Party - For new members - nearly everybody goes home to change and the dress code is jacket and tie/smart frock – your choice!! The bar will remain open throughout lunchtime but we are asking that you aim for 1.30pm return (you can arrive earlier if you wish). We need to be seated by 2.00pm as there are a number of presentations to be made in advance of the meal. Hayley will start serving food promptly at 2.15pm. There will be a table quiz throughout proceedings provided by Peter Bowen and a draw at the end of the meal. Don't forget to arrange transport home!! See you next Tuesday.
