Golf - Sunday 18th March 2018

Carolyn Buttsworth - Nearest the Pin - 8th Hole

Stuart Williams (Runner Up Men's Singles),

Jan Walker - Ball Winner - 3rd Place Ladies Singles

With Jan Walker & Neville Walker at the 1st Tee

It was with some trepidation that we made a decision to play golf today with the predicted 40 degree day looming with no change in the forecast.  Lucky that we did because the day, although reaching the high heat, was pacified by a nice breeze that kept the temperature bearable enough to get in 18 holes.  Our playing partners were Neville & Jan Walker who were great company and kept cheerful all day and we did enjoy some good highlights with Jan scoring 4 x 3 pointers and Neville 3 x 3 pointers on the back 9.  Both Jan & Neville won a ball each so the day was worthwhile.

The Golf Event of the day was a Single Stableford for Men and Women.

We had 41 starters.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me: Jan Walker had 4 x 3 pointers including two 3 pointers in a row; Neville Walker had 3x 3 pointers on the back 9; Carolyn Buttsworth hit a great drive to the 8th green to win nearest the pin; Kevin O'Brien had two pars; Carolyn & Ray Buttsworth were both putting for a par on the 18th hole; Mark Stimpson had birdies on the 2nd and 16th; Helen Potter had 23 points on the front 9; Keith Potter birdied the 3rd hole with a slam dunk chip into the hole; Alice Diamond had 2 pars on the 11th and the 6th; my highlight I think was playing with the ball winners but I was happy with my pitching shot to the 10th green where I scored a 3 pointer.
