After a slightly misty start this morning, the sun came through and the players were treated to a beautiful, warm Autumnal day at the racecourse. Today's competition was a Bowmaker strokeplay with 10 teams taking part.
We were very pleased to welcome nine of our friends from Newbury & Crookham who were invited to participate in today's competition and I think they all enjoyed the event.
The winners today were the two-man team of John Butcher & Roger Harman (with a little help from "Doris") on a total of 138. Runners-up were Linda Vale, Bob Evans & Paul Tebbutt with 140 closely followed by Steve Myers, David Catt & John Christopher just one stroke further back.

This was the final board competition of the year counting towards the Order of Merit. It was extremely close and after yesterday's competition, John Butcher and Andrew Mead were tied on 45pts. The title was decided on count-back (number of wins, number of 2nd's, etc.). Both had 3 wins and no second places, but John Butcher narrowly came out on top with 2 third place finishes to Andrew's one. Well done to both and to Stuart Briginshaw for a very close third place.

Seniors vs Deanwood
A foggy start for the mixed home match against our friends from Deanwood yesterday. But the sun finally burst through for the back nine to treat the players to a beautiful sunny and warm day. There were six matches of fourball better-ball and the Racecourse won by 5 1/2 to 1/2 claiming back the salver from Deanwood. The nearest-the-pin prizes were won by Steve Vale from the Racecourse and Bill Field from Deanwood.
Afterwards, the players all enjoyed a lovely meal prepared by Karen and her team at Nuffield. Thanks to all for participating in this very enjoyable match.

Two 2's were recorded today. One was an excellent eagle 2 on the par 4 16th over the pond by John Baron. The other was a more conventional 2 on the par 3 11th by Paul Tebbutt. Unfortunately, John did not invest in the two's pool so Paul took the spoils.
