PAIRS BETTERBALL OCTOBER 3RS 2024. REPORT FROM STUART

Seniors, well after Sunday and Monday's downpour we managed to get out. What a glorious day, sunshine, pleasantly warm and no wind. Considering the rain the course was in good condition with only holes 16 and 17 closed. 32 seniors put their tallies up and the format was pairs betterball. 4 prizes with the 4th place being decided on a countback between 3 teams and 1st and 2nd place on a count back. Results; 1st Paul Cheetham / Richard Collier 34 points. c/b. 2nd Ken Burgoyne / Mark Hughes 34 points c/b. 3rd Chris Blazdell / Tony Vesty 33 points. 4th Don Wraight / Andy Mitchell 32 points. There has been some debate about the preferred lies in the rough. I will clarify this and send an email out once it has been agreed before next Tuesday. One other item Jon Falcus was presented with his voucher for his win with his partner Nigel Davies (Nigel had already received his voucher, but pointed out that I hadn't mentioned his name when doing the presentation, sorry Nigel) in a DGU competition at Llangollen, congratulations to both of them. Nigel wanted to make a speech but thankfully his request was shouted down. Weather permitting, see you next Tuesday
