Paul and Adie brought a guest, Ronnie Binks who became a member at the 19th and we saw a return from Martin Crooke as well as the first appearance from Dick (I haven't swung a club) Darlison.
Results
Congratulations to Tony on his win today in difficult conditions with a score of 35 points, 2nd was Paul Collins & 3rd was Rich (Dick Turpin) Darlison. No match play competitions were contested on the day.
Scoring on the day:
Nearest the pins and 2s
Much hooting followed the decision to make the first NTP the 6th but the considerably shorter 13th did not make life much easier with Patrick Stone being the sole achiever and also making the 2, well done Patrick. It was suggested that the captain choose achievable targets in future.
