Outing to Naunton Downs GC 4th November 2011
The
Anniversary Cup for 2011 was attended by 31 players, a great turn out
especially for this time of year. The mild weather was welcomed albeit that the
last 4 or 5 holes were played in heavy rain.
Before
commencing play Chairman Phil outlined the rules for the Yellow Ball team
competition which was played in conjunction with the individual Stableford
where “no gimmes” was introduced. This was deemed to be a great success as
putting out is the norm in most golf competitions, and will be continued with
the exception of when playing on temporary greens.
The
Chairman’s Cap was awarded to Russ Ralph as he had scored 26 points on the back
9 holes at Broadway in The Pork Pie fiddle the previous day. It was a pity he
couldn’t keep it going at Naunton Downs!!
The
Yellow Ball team competition was won with 36 points by Duncan Beale Bobby
Hooper Steve Jordan and David Morris – well played – just one team failed to
return with the yellow ball intact!! No names no pack drill.
The winning Yellow Ball Competition Team
The
main competition was closely fought and despite the rain over the last few
holes good scores were recorded. In joint third place were Phil Bennett and
Simon Waldron on 36 points,
Champion Nev!
Runner
up on 37 points was Bill Payne and a very popular winner was Neville Jelfs with
38 points. Despite a bout of cramp Nev managed to limp up and receive the Cup
from Chairman Phil.
The
nearest the pin on the 6th hole was won by Noel Hughes, with Ray
Cordes winning the nearest the pin in 2 strokes on the 16th hole.
A
golfers supper was enjoyed at NDGC with the après golf drinks held at the
clubhouse.
Next outing Henley in Arden Golf Club on 29th
December 2011.
The
entry list is at The Bell and full details for the day will be advised within
the next few days.
Happy
golfing
Russ
Ralph.
