Conditions were tough this weekend with high winds added to the fact the course is now playing longer, this resulted in the Competition Standard Scratch going up to 73 in Saturday's Stableford. Chris Rippon produced an excellent 39 pts to be top scorer on the day winning Division I from Pete Corley 37 pts and Steve Butler 36 pts. Andy Hunt 37 pts took Division II from Garry Richardson 36 pts and Ian Fane 31 pts. Division III saw a three way tie on 33 pts, Dave Gibson beat Colin Burton and Paul Rawlings on count back. There were only three two's in the sweep Malc Mitchell, Garry Richardson and Paul Rawlings sharing the Sweep.
The Annual Captain/Pro Challenge took place last Sunday, both myself and Micky Burch fielded strong sides and there was a lot of very close matches throughout the day, there was also plenty of light hearted banter between the teams and all matches were played with a great spirit. I am glad to say that my team eventually triumphed by 11.5 pts to 6.5 pts, mainly due to a dominant Foursomes performance in the morning which saw my team lead 6-0 at lunchtime although all the games were close. Myself and Micky had an excellent match in the afternoon singles in which we eventually finished all square and Micky's team won the singles by 6.5 matches to 5.5 but this was not enough to overcome the morning deficit, so the trophy stays in my hands for another year.
