Texas SHAMBLE report from Mike Healey October 10th 2023

Today we visited an oddball format which was initiated on the calendar last year. Our Texas Shamble required everybody to drive (5 drives each choosing best drive) and then all team members played out their own ball for a stableford score, with the best two counting for the team. Nearly everybody found the format enjoyable and given 30 players in the draw, 10 x threeballs worked well again from an organisational point of view. There were a few delays because of leaves but it is just that time of year. The scores were nearly all within 10 points of each other, so a fairly close format at the end of the day. There were three prizes in total: Texas Shamble Result: First: Nigel Davies, Jon Falcus and Bill Kelleher - 85 points Second: Tony Jackson, Andy Mitchell and Steve Monk - 82 points Third: Graham Wright, Mike Hollings and Neil Gledhill - 80 points
