Greenkeepers get their revenge
The greenkeepers have been plotting their revenge and got up early on Saturday 15 October to create a fun but difficult course to get their own back on our members for not repairing pitchmarks, divots and raking bunkers throughout the season!
There was something different on every hole including various obstacles, flop shots over the pond and even a cross-country hole. The difficulty increased when the wind picked up and a sudden spell of rain blew in, however we still had some amazing scores which can be seen below:
1 | Danny Porter, Simon Harris, Michael Olliff and Simon Jardine | 52 |
2 | Mark Alderson, Tom Fowler, Jason Kalinski and Aaron Bridges | 51 |
3 | Tony Johnson, Stephen Dean, Clive Ware and Graham Croucher | 49 |
4 | David Benassi, Colin Allan, Jim Glover and Kevin Brook | 49 |
5 | James Stedman, Mark Bamford, Daniel Joseph and Stephen Sedgley | 49 |
6 | Andy Kershaw, Michael Bennell, Paul McLaren and Martin Newark | 49 |
7 | Chris Maultby, Richard J.F. Hoare, Rick Priest and Mike Walsh | 49 |
8 | Michael Berry, Ray Pink, Sam Baldwin and Mike Clark | 48 |
9 | Andy Smith, Linda Salero, Sue Tant and Michael Waite | 48 |
10 | Ian Hirons, Tim Clayton, Steve Tafe and Adam Sandieson | 47 |
11 | Ian Penny, Simon Watson, Steve Brookwell and David Leader | 46 |
12 | Mark Payne, Daniel Feek, Daniel le Roux and Richard Davis | 46 |
13 | Tony Taylor, Luke Hayward, Brad Austin and Tom Ayling | 46 |
14 | Tim Gleeson, David B Kendall, Jon R Pearson and Aidan Walls | 44 |
15 | Jeremy Mears, James Mears, Martin Green and Oliver Lane-Smith | 44 |
16 | Gary Norgett, Adam Norgett and Peter Griffin | 44 |
17 | Fiona Whittington, David M Carter, Zachary Hauffe and Chris Palmer | 43 |
18 | Jacqueline Wong, Luke O'Neill, Iain Chiverton and Dough Bairner | 43 |
19 | Jack Berry, Dougal Rattray, Nick Trigg and Geoff Bleasby | 43 |
20 | Christiane Lincoln, Claudia Bailey, Stephanie Bevis and Lattana Griffin | 42 |
From the outside it was hard to see how the Greenkeepers could have made it harder. Fortunately, we have a whole year to think up new strategies to test our members!
Thank you to everyone who came and supported the day and we look forward to seeing what our greenkeepers have in store for next year!
