3 clubs and a putter September 29th 2022. Report from Mike Healey

I am starting with an advert. In Tony Harcombe's absence, there have been a number of cry offs for next week's Open at Oswestry. Alan Pocklington very kindly stepped in for one of the slots today but we are still one place short. If you can play next Wednesday (5th October) please let Stuart Leyland know as soon as possible. Also, the October calendar will be posted later on this evening. Today's Golf - 31 tallies were placed on the board today for a Three Clubs and a Putter event. The BBC forecast gave sun with cloud and the possibility of light showers after 12.00 noon. Some very fine spots did appear but they were insignificant and the whole group came in dry. Looking through the cards, there was a distinct mix of results. I believe some of us struggle with the 3 club concept and cards at the bottom end reflected this with relatively poor scores. The top end, however, was tight and quite a few countbacks were required in the resolving. There were two cards on 32 points and five cards on 30 points - all of them were just outside the six prizes on offer. Read on to see who won, yet again! He is beginning to make a habit of 3 clubs, having won the two previous events. Well done Mick!! Three Clubs and a Putter: First: Mick Carnell 37 points Second: Peter Taylor 34 points (c/b) Third: Tom McGrady 34 points (c/b) Fourth: Alan Barnsdale 33 points (c/b) Fifth: Stan Roberts 33 points (c/b) Sixth: Mike Scott 33 points (c/b)
