Away match at Ellesmere Port, home kitty competition and an ace by Geoff Morris June 6th 2013


Seniors Stableford Kitty competition at home - Thursday 6th June 2013    

1st      Peter Lynch           41 points

2nd     Neil Sanger           37 points

3rd      Andrew Mitchell   36 points
 
The Clays Seniors Team played away at Ellesmere Port. Format was 4 ball with best 2 scores to count. Each team had 2 members from Ellesmere Port and 2 from Clays
However Geoff Morris and Harold Hughes had to play by themselves due to lack of players from the Ellesmere Port Seniors. This did however not deter Geoff Morris carding an ace. The second ace of his golfing career. Well done Geoff.


 
 
 
What is nice about Ellesmere Port is the "butty wagon" at the end of the 9th where one can get a great bacon or sausage bap
