Club Golf Championships

Club Golf Championships

As is the tradition, the winner of the last Championship organises the next years, and so it was (President elect) Jeff Dawson doing the honours.
Again, the event was held at Gloucester Golf Club and it was a warm and sunny afternoon, perfect condition for playing golf.

15 members took part, the first group teeing off at one o’clock.  The course was in good condition, albeit a little dry and parched in places, and the bunkers were quite hard sand, but with masses of run on the ball, it was there for the taking!
Following the competition, we assembled in the bar and enjoyed a very good two-course meal.  Well done to Jeff for organising a great afternoon of golf and getting the weather right!

The results were surprising!  Colin (who was in my group with Bob) only hit two decent tee shots all afternoon!  However with his superb short game, he came in with 38 Points – we thought this would be enough to win.  But no, second place went to Gordon, who had not hit a golf ball in anger for 12 months, also came in with 38 Points, but a better back nine!  How does he do it?  The handicap committee must be convened I feel!
 
The winner however, defending his title, was Jeff, with 40 Points!  I don’t recall any other player defending his title in this club’s championship, but I may be wrong.  Anyhow, it was well deserved, so congratulations to Jeff.
 
A great afternoon, great weather, and some good scores followed by a fabulous meal.
