Pairs Betterball November 23rd. Report from Mike Healey

What a fantastic competition we had today. Exactly 36 members turned up which made it perfect for Pairs Betterball. 9 groups set off in the fine rain, which persisted for a while and a cool breeze did not help conditions. Both fairways and semi had been or was being cut throughout and the general playing area remained sticky but the results came through nevertheless. Quite a number of cards returned between 37 and 40 points. 3 cards showed 42 points and countback went into operation but none of them were quite good enough at the end of the day. Four prizes were up for grabs - read on for the winners - Pairs Betterball First: Richard Collier and Colin Evans 48 points £7.00 each Second: Stuart Leyland and Peter Thomas 45 points c/b £5.00 each Third: Mick Carnell and Tony Jackson 45 points c/b £4.00 each Fourth: Dave Palferman and Steve Monk 43 points £2.00 each
