Pairs betterball results from Mike Healey/Steve Monk April 22nd 2022

Mike is very much very much in Steve Monk's debt for resolving cards and sending the below report: Today turned out to be a great day for golf. 16 pairs competed in a Pairs Betterball kitty competition. Before giving the list of winners, I must report that a hole-in-one was recorded today by one of our players on the 12th hole. Keith Hawthorn hit a really sweet 6-iron from the tee. It sailed beautifully towards the green on a line slightly left of the flag, landing just at the front edge of the green. After pitching, the ball took a kick slightly right, bounced a couple of times before commencing a roll and finally disappearing down the hole! Excellent shot. For those of us in opposition, the slight downside was that the shot earned Keith and his partner 5 stableford points!! As for the results, they were as follows.... 1st - Dave Palferman and Keith Hawthorn with 47 points. 2nd - Irwin Elkin and Andrew Mitchell with 44 points. 3rd - Barry Evans and Tom McGrady with 43 points. 4th - Mike Hollings and Reg Peacock with the best countback score from 4 pairs with 40 points. Keith after his ace can be seen in picture below.
