Seniors v The Staff - Monday, 25 September - What a match! Well it was all happening in this contest of the Titans – the weather may have been rather dull and dreary but the golf certainly was not! No mercy was asked for or given as these two teams of finely honed athletes set to it. Among some of the many extraordinary feats of golfing feats were: - Morgan, partnered with Liam, set the bar seriously high by going through 9 in an individual four under gross - which their opponents Richard White and Martin Myall thought was a little unsporting!
- Andrew Kirk (a staff ringer I’ll have you know partnering with Tom Butterworth) played the first 9 holes to scratch off a handicap of 15 – fortunately he remembered his true loyalties to the membership just in time and eased up a little over the next 9 to allow John K and I a very small chance of a comeback.
- Adrian Henshaw played Dave Parker and Phil Cazaly on his own and beat them despite Dave and Phil winning the highest joint stableford points score of 46, ( well done boys ), which was five points more than Adrian – we are still trying to work that one out!
- John Keeley made an awesome sand save from the front bunkers on the 18th to score a net birdie to finish off an amazing comeback from five down at the turn and win our match.
And after all the smoke of battle had cleared away and a fine meal and a glass or two had been enjoyed by all the result was a 3 – 3 draw so we will have to share the cup and do it all again next year! A big thank you from the senior team to John Prior and his team for organising the day and for looking after us so well throughout the season. Finally, massive good wishes to Tom and his partner for the new addition to their family which is due very soon. Joe Harvey (Captain) |
