Texas Scramble Thursday January 27th 2022. Report from Mike Healey.

I am running out of superlatives for the January weather, the winter into spring development of the course and last but not least - your company. Despite overnight rain, the course was running dry and the greens relatively quick for this time of year. We enjoyed 11 degrees of sunshine for most of the round and the conviviality afterwards was once again to the fore. A slightly awkward number of 39 might have been resolved with 13 three balls but we played 5 x threeball and 6 x fourball in our Texas Scrambles, with two prizes for each section. There was no countback at all today - the combined handicaps sorted the results for us. Texas Scramble Result - Threeball: First: Bob Jarvis, Mick Carnell, Dave Palferman 53.9 Second: Irwin Elkin, Alan Barnsdale, Peter Fraser 55.4 Texas Scramble Result - Fourball: First: Don Wraight, Ken Tieszen, Dave A Jones, Mike Kalka 47.9 Second: Andy Mitchell, John Kelty, Bob Brown, Colin Evans 49.6 Members have asked - so here is the reminder - Unknown Pairs next Tuesday 1st Feb is basically individual Stableford and as you hand your card in, you will be given a number. There will be pairings already made inside an envelope and at the close, pairs are put together from that number. The two best scores added together etc. will take the prizes. Everybody has to play their best so as not to let their potential (unknown) partner down.
