Another successful Friday night competition on the Holywell, this time the format was Gruesomes! Some played kindly whilst others found their competitive spirit had the better of them.

Norman Evans hit a fantastic shot down the 3rd but, after a fruitless search, played partner Larry Barnecutt’s ball. Imagine the shock and smirk (it was Gruesomes after all) when their playing partners discovered the ball in the hole! So a hole in one, albatross, aged 80 actually turned into a 4 on the scorecard. GM George Tunbridge (keen to let people know he’s also had an albatross) kindly printed a certificate and Norm was presented with a hole in one flag whilst onlookers sipped Prosecco.

The rest of the field, the largest Friday turnout yet, all came in before the rain to enjoy a meal whilst prizes were awarded by CHK. Congratulations to Jane Bendall and David Elliot, winners with 34 points closely followed by Bob & Annie Cruse with 33 and Frank and Lorna Harper with 32.
