PAIRS BETTERBALL FEBRUARY 27TH 2024. REPORT FROM MIKE HEALEY

Seniors - Our highest turnout in the New Year so far. 38 seniors posted their tallies today for a Pairs Betterball (first of the season). The only rain encountered was a short heavy burst while we were all inside completing the morning's draw. The brollies went up but came down almost immediately and we remained dry throughout. The course is drying still and our greenkeepers are working really hard on both holes 16 and 17 as I am reporting. Today, two groups went out as 3 balls with a middle player getting two bites of the cherry. All came back in good time for refreshment. Cards were reasonable with some countback required and the four prizes were distributed as follows: Pairs Betterball: First: Peter Thomas and Steve Graham - 32 points Second: Reg Peacock and Steve Monk - 31 points Third: Andy Mitchell and Peter Taylor - 29 points (c/b) Fourth: Bob Jarvis and Mick Carnell - 29 points (c/b) Reminder: The postponed St David's Day Trophy is now being held on Thursday 21st March and there will be a kitty comp this coming Thursday instead. Next week - Tuesday - Winter League 5 and Thursday - March Medal. March calendars to follow!
