Welsh Greensomes qualifier April 28th.Report from Mike Healey

Another good day for the Section. The forecast was always cool with a gentle breeze and that is how it remained. No fewer than 45 members turned out for our Welsh Greensomes Qualifier. Before the result, can I record my thanks to Irwin Elkin for relinquishing his pairing position and marking one of the group cards. 22 pairs took part overall in the Greensomes, but not all qualifiers. It was also played as a kitty competition with five prizes. The following results came in for the kitty comp - read on for the Qualifier Result. Greensomes Result: First: Ernie Williams and Keith Hawthorn 43 points Second: Mike Drake and Steve Monk 42 points (c/b) Third: Bill Kelleher and Chris Jacques 42 points (c/b) Fourth: Peter Fraser and Harold Hughes 41 points (c/b) Fifth: Peter Taylor and Barry Evans 41 points (c/b) Dave Palferman and Richard Collier just missed out (also on 41 points (c/b) Welsh Greensomes Qualifier - The winnining pair above are unable to travel to the Welsh finals, which are being held this year at Llanishen Golf Club, on the outskirts of Cardiff (15th September). The Clays Senior representatives will therefore be Mike Drake and Steve Monk. We all wish them well going forward.
