Last of the summer wine

On a glorious afternoon, 2nd October, eight of us played golf in shirtsleeves at Broadstone.

It was generally agreed to be a great course and sufficiently attractive to encourage Luke Fenwicke-Clennell and Mike Chattey from many miles away. Ignoring a couple of low scores most made mid 30s stableford scores while Andrew Hussey played the course to 3 over for a 41 point win. Congratulations and the cash to Andrew. His week of practice in Portugal paid off. Others, noticeably Hutch and Adrian Wright, were showing rather less respect for the event by using it as a warm up for their Spanish tour. Although the President was kind enough to give Charles O’Reilly a fiver in pursuit of rather preposterous and unlikely bets.

A few more would have appeared if we had planned a little further ahead, and not chosen a school leave weekend, but enough fun was shared for all to agree that we should have two golf fixtures per annum; one near London and one in Dorset. Furthermore the dates should appear in the fixture card so that everyone has the opportunity to take part.
