The Men's competition on Sunday 26th Oct 08 saw us playing greensomes format, an unusual event for many of the men. A bright day with the odd heavy shower resulted in some good scores. The winners of the Ralph Hopper Trophies were Russell Simpson and Ryan Simpson with a net score of 63.5. Well done to you both. My only bright spot of the round was sinking my partners drive on the 14th from just off the green for a 2 and a share of the 2's sweep.
It's been half term this week and the course and the complex has been busier than usual Monday to Friday. Despite the cold weather, the course is drying out well and the fairways are looking good for the winter. The only black spot is the inability of players to bend their backs and pick up and replace their divots.
With early morning frosts, this week has brought the winter greens into effect for a few days. Greens in regulation are a little more difficult to achieve when aiming at a circle less than 10yards in diameter and then putting very firmly to achieve a straight put .... or at least that's my excuse!
The first (I hope) of our synthetic tee boxes has been completed on the 8th. This will provide us with an all season alternative to the conventional tee boxes whilst keeping the hole at its full length. It will be interesting to have the opinion of the members when it is put into play.
