Outing to Abbey Hotel Golf Club Redditch on 31st October 2013
Our annual Greensomes competition for The Dave Barnett Rose Bowl was supported by 14 teams, an excellent society commitment.
The Abbey Hotel course was a new venue for most members and despite a little rain early on the weather was good for the time of year. The recent wet spell had left the course somewhat heavy under foot but in good condition for late October.
The Chairman’s cap was awarded to Steve Webb who claiming to have played the course many times couldn’t actually find it! (Blame it on the road diversions) which caught a few of us out.
The scores threw up quite a variation but nothing could match the magnificent 39 points scored by Mike Petruzzelli and Christine Cordes. Chris is making a habit of winning this competition. Well played! Runners up were Maggie & Russ (35) with Ray Cordes & Noel Hughes in third place (34).
Nearest the pin on the 6th hole was won by Tom Barnes and nearest the pin in two on the 15th (should have been the 14th enough said) was won by Noel Hughes and Ray Cordes.
The Chairman wished David Milnes-James a speedy and full recovery from his recent stroke. All members of the society look forward to seeing David back on the fairways at the earliest opportunity.
A good golfer’s supper round off an enjoyable competition.
Our next outing is the post-Christmas game at Puckrup Hall GC Tewkesbury on Friday 27th December. The entry sheet is at The Bell Inn. Full details will be advised nearer the date.
Happy golfing
Russ Ralph.
