| Today's winner: Brian Wakely |
A very pleasant day's golf was enjoyed by 34 of our members and 2 guests today. There was only a light breeze blowing, so nothing serious to use as an excuse for poor shots. Your correspondent felt that the greens were a little faster than usual, making some of the more undulating and sloping ones a bit tricky to navigate - could just have been me though!
Just as last week, a name we haven't seen right at the top of the leaderboard for some time made it to the top of the pile today. So well done Brian for seeing off the opposition by a clear 2 points. And it was also good to see another new name in the rankings in the form of Nick Carter with a splendid 35 points in 3rd place.
Eric Pages again won the guest prize with his 35 points off his handicap of 11. He has submitted an application to become a member of our society, having recently retired from his job in France.
One other noticeable thing on the way round was just how close all of the 'nearest-the-pin' markers were to the holes - very good shots all of them. The names on them were all too familiar!
Remember that this Wednesday (20th), following our Texas Scramble, team prizes will be awarded, followed by the golfers' exchange of small presents, and then a festive lunch at the club.
A full list of results follows. Well done everyone.
