Report on Redditch Golf day

Newsletter 27th July 2012

The Golfing Gods once again shone on the 19 players who competed for the Summer Cup at Redditch Golf Club. The weather was very warm and sunny and one umbrella was needed as a parasol! (Easily mistaken for an ice cream salesman)
Before commencing play the Chairmans Cap was award to Mike Barnes who paraded it with pride and dignity.
The golf course was in excellent condition with fast greens which ran true but some tricky lines to read.
The Stableford competition was a close run thing with Maggie McDivitt in third place with 34 points, runner up was Russ Ralph on 37 points, BUT the winner on 38 points was our Chairman Phil Bennett. Surely this was the most deserved and popular winner in our Society as Phil had tried on no less than 80 games to win an outing day. Well done Phil we are delighted and proud of your perseverance.
The nearest the pin on the 11th hole was won by Roger Yeates, with Warren McDivitt winning the nearest the pin in 2 on the 9th hole.
Thanks to a previous society using all the hot water the cold showers for us were quite refreshing!
RGC provided a good golfers supper to round off a great day.
Congratulations Phil!
Our next outing is to Maxstoke Park Golf Club on Thursday 6th September full details to follow shortly. Entry sheet at the Bell.
Happy golfing
Russ Ralph.

Despite the recent heavy rain The Old Course was in good condition and all the major competitions were played on this course on the Sunday. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the Mathen course which was waterlogged in places and preferred lies were in operation.
