Outing to the Welcombe Hotel GC
on 6th March 2013
For our first outing of the year we were joined by the Coach & Horses Golf Society to play for The Neale Wolder Trophy. The format for the competition was an individual Stableford and the Trophy winner would be the best individual score from either society.
The Chairman's Cap was presented to David McAteer following an incident at Tewkesbury Park in December.
After coffee and bacon rolls 43 players (24 from The Bell Inn GS and 19 from The Coach & Horses GS) took on the Welcombe course.
Thankfully the Golfing Gods held off the forecasted rain, and the course was in good condition generally albeit that some tee mats were in use and the greens were somewhat bumpy, not unexpected at this time of year.
On completion of play there was time for a pre supper drink.
Before announcing the results for the competition Phil reminded us of the history of the McWolder Cup and the Neale Wolder Trophy .There was general agreement that this format was very successful and would be carried on in future.
The outcome of the Stableford competition was very closely contested with Keith Burke in third place on count back with 38 points. Runner up by 1 point better on back nine was Nigel Darrell of the Coach & Horses, but no one could match the winning score of 39 points by Tom Jelfs who was presented with The Neale Wolder Trophy and medal to commemorate the day.
