Happy New Year

Seniors Stableford

The weather forecast for today was strong winds and heavy rain. With that in mind, a number of players decided to give it a miss and so the few that did risk it just played a 9-hole Stableford. As it turned out, although it was windy, the rain didn't materialise until mid to late afternoon when everything was done and dusted!!!!
Of the 8 that played, Roy Whiting was top scorer over the 9 holes with 15pts. Raymond Bilton was second scoring 13pts followed by Geoff Denner and Sam Whiting both on 12pts.

Everyone brought prizes today with the winners having first pick, etc., so no-one went home empty handed!! The golf was followed by an excellent Christmas meal at Nuffield enjoyed by the golfers and partners.
