26 March - Refos vs Spanglers

Martyn's event, against the group following us on Saturdays.

Played with David W against Gary Fortune and Matt Deaks.  Conditions not great, grey and cross wind.  Went 3 down after 3 but pulled back to level.  Then dormie 2 down.  Missed a putt on 17 that would have won us the hole, then won 18.  As it was, lost 2 and 1.

Overall win on total points for Refos.  Ham egg and chips for lunch then Martyn's own sponsored prizes.

23 March - Letchworth Scratch Match

Return foresomes friendly, after I'd missed the home game.

Good day, almost no wind and comfortable temperature.  Played with Ken Ayre against Dick Mitchell and Paul Shadbolt.  Started very badly, with Ken's first two tee shots had ended up against trees.  Went quickly to 3 down but then won 4 in a row.

One up at the turn then seesawing to the 17th where we again went ahead after my shot to the green.  ken's drive on 18 found more trees and my attempted recovery ricocheted into the ditch.  Very pleased with the half though.

Team won 3.5 to 1.5 which was a splendid result against the current Div 1 champions.

22 March - Wellingborough

With Tony, Phil and Andrew Petrie.  Winter special price of £30, including ham, egg and chips after.

Lovely day and course in pretty good condition.  Andrew and I played together, winning 2 up.

Hit an amazing 3 wood on the SI 2 hole, from 210 out to the middle of the green.  Hit some good drives too but found the greens difficult.  Andrew played very well and was the main contributor.

21 March - Seniors Match vs Beadlow Manor

A bit grey but light wind only.

Partnered Mike Harrison against Ian Godden and Keith Garwood, getting to dormie 6 and winning 4 and 3.  Keith not feeling very well on the second nine, cold and achy.

Played okay, decidedly average. Won the match 6 : 1 overall.

19 March - Saturday Medal

Played with Alan Evans and Martyn.  Alan scored very well on the front nine, 21 points.  Slightly feel away towards the end for 17 back.

I was a bit indifferent, 15 out and 17 back, missing out on the last three holes after a birdie on 15.

Good score by Danie, 69 gross, 41 points, matched by Arlo.  Then David Williams on 40.

16 March - Seniors Medal

Dry but quite a cold wind from the north east.

Started out fourth with Graham Clark and Derek Hayden but Derek had had enough by the 6th and walked in.  We then went through the group ahead on the 10th and ended up 45 minutes ahead of them at the club house.

Played ok but fluffed several shots for 86/73.  Putted very solidly, not missing anything I shouldn't have.

14 March - Match vs Cambridge Meridian

Played with Keith Wood against John and Patrick Hamilton.  Started at 15 so had to give a pile of shots at the end, 5 in 6 holes.  Went from two up to all square on the 13th but my par on 14 won the match for us.

12 March - Sat Stableford

with David Williams and Mark W.  Steady golf, 16 out and 19 back despite not driving particularly well.

7 March - Seniors 4BBB Knockout

Played against Tony and Robin Tinston.  Didn't play very well and lost 2 down.
