HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me: Mark Stimpson was the champion of the day - playing to his age which was worth much celebration today - his highlights were a chip in at the 15th, sank a 35 metre putt at the 14th, parred after an impossible shot at the 17th, birdied the 10th and the 5th and had 23 putts for the day - not bad for an old codger - Mark thanks his playing partners for their inspiration; Alice Diamond had a good back 9 and twice scored for a plus when Mark failed; Carolyn Buttsworth’ s highlights was having her first score for a par on the 5th; Neville Walker had a steady game, Jan Walker seems to remember having a good shot. We did not play today due to the state of the course but will be back next week for an opportunity to gather some highlights.
