TEXAS SCRAMBLE RESULTS FROM MIKE HEALEY JANUARY 16TH 2024

When I woke up this morning, there was a blanket of white across Farndon and it was very surprising but pleasant to find the course open. On arrival, the frost on the greens was taken into consideration and once again, there was a proposal to postpone the Winter League in favour of another format, that might keep everybody moving in the zero temperature.This was subsequently voted upon and a Scramble was preferred almost unanimously. Without further ado, 27 names went into the bag and 9 x threeballs came out to do battle over 13 holes. It has subsequently been declared that Thursday this week will be dedicated to Winter League Round 1, whatever the weather, so come prepared. In light of the remaining weeks/months, we may reduce the number of rounds for the Winter League. Today the team scores were reasonably good and all 9 cards were within 7 shots of each other, after handicap reductions. There were three team prizes for the Texas Scramble as follows: Texas Scramble Result: First: Wyn Jenkins, Richard Collier and Ken Tieszen 46.5 Second: Mike Healey, Alan Pocklington and Neil Gledhill 47.9 Third: Bob Jarvis, Peter Lord and Tom McGrady 49.2
