The weather stayed more or less faithful for our games with layers being peeled off and reapplied as we went round.
Our winner on the day, "Colonel" David Crocker, came in with a very respectable 37 points, holding off the challenge from Pete Man on 34 points.

Competitions
In the singles, Patrick beat David Fuller by 5&4 and now plays Dave Crocker after Chris Ward withdrew. Rob beat Glyn by 1 to move on and Alan also withdrew from his match against Pete Mann. Pete then beat Paul "Found it" Collins by 4 & 3 to reach the semi-final. That just leaves Paul Green and Neal Malone to complete the 1st round of the singles. In the doubles there is one 1st round game left to play. Paul Green & Patrick v "Pirate" Pete Mann & Neil "new shoes" Edwards.
Greenwood Trophy
In The Greenwood, Pirate Pete takes a 12 point lead over Paul Collins, while Dave Crocker shoots up to 3rd a further 12 points behind with Neil Edwards 1 point back in 4th. It is still a very open contest when you take off the 3 worst scores for each player.
Next up is Bicester on Sunday 5th June, please arrive in time for our 1 o'clock first tee. Please let Paul know if you want to play. He tells me there is now one space left in a buggy so book in quickly if you need one.
