CAPTAIN'S REPORT
It gave me great pleasure to have the society play my home course for the late summer meeting on 22 August. The weather could have been kinder but it did not interfere with play and some good scores were posted despite it. The morning round for the Brabazon trophy was strongly contested with Eddie Axten prevailing with a fine 40 points.
The course itself was in great condition and had a benign appearance. To the first time visitor it looks short and easy, but then you have to factor in the greens which seem to have a mind of their own, low scores are rare. A glance at the Scratch Medal winner’s board shows that it has only been won four times since 1904 with a sub 70 score (twice by Tim Henman).
Lunch was a treat and the staff looked after us in their usual friendly and efficient way, wine was kindly provided by Ron Elder with a contribution from me. The club kindly slipped the afternoon start time so that we could all sit down to lunch together. The Greensomes, played over 11 holes in the afternoon was won by Barry Thornton and Anthony King.
Next up is the tour starting on September 10th. Rain dances are cancelled until the 14th.
