Results for 4th November

On a glorious sunny Autumn morning we had 25 starters.

A light frost meant that we were on winter greens and we also had to deal with the ice-caked shoes which needed to be chipped off every few holes.

Players are reminded that when we play on winter greens we may elect to putt out when we are within the designated winter greens or we may simply pick up and count two additional putts.

Unfortunately we did not anticipate the frost and therefore did not remind everyone of this TAMS rule. Some players followed the rule and some did not, which may have affected the results.

What made it even more difficult was that the perimeter of the winter greens had not been properly marked with a white line, so no doubt there were varying degrees of discretion as to where the line might have been.

See how complicated life gets - sorry guys, we will do better!!

Our lives may yet get even more complicated according to a recent 'woke' press article which suggests that we will soon have 'gender neutral' tee markers.

However, more to the point of our game today, the winner was Mr Consistency himself, Gordon Fisher with an excellent score of 21 points.

Tied for second on 20 points were Chris Beaumont and Jim Walker, with Jim winning out on countback.

Ian Tate birdied no 9, Jim Pettigrew birdied no4 and Jim Walker was nearest on no7.
