A report from the Men's Captain, Brian King:- A promising start to the season by the men's team continued with some excellent performances against Garesfield G.C. the 4-1 victors over Beamish G C in the first round. The first match out, promised to be a close encounter with Ian Davidson giving a shot to John King, however Ian got his nose in front and finished with a 2-1 win. The Second Match was between Craig Wilson and David Jobes this match was off scratch and Craig got off to flying start being 6 up at one stage however David fought back but the deficit was too much and Craig won 3-2.
The third match was between Graham Bell and Jason Moncur who had just returned from a golf holiday in sunnier climes. Jason had to give Graham 12 shots, the early stages of the match saw it change back and forth Graham having to make good use of his shots against a very able 3 handicapper. Graham went three down after thirteen but a poor bunker shot by Jason resulted in him conceding the hole this match went to the eighteenth with Graham one down but receiving a shot the outcome was match halved.
Ronnie Dixon teed off in the fourth match against John Mcintyre and quoting Ronnie he had a bad start but in typical fashion fought back only to lose the match 3-2.
The final match was Graeme Hewitt Parklands Mr Reliable playing against a less experienced but very able Steven King, Graeme received a shot from Steven but Graeme supported by his regular caddie John Bainbridge, pursued his task in his usual quiet way and finished a 3-2 winner. The matches were a lot closer than the scores indicate Garesfield played well.Congratulations to you all on a great team performance.
