24 April - Hastings Cup

Played with Tony and Richard, 7.37 start.

Cold wind from generally north, and very grey.  All of us played badly on the front nine (51 for me after several in 7th bunker and a few missed shots) then rallied on the back nine (40 for me).  Early because of the choir mini concert in the  Orwell hall.

22 April - St George's Day Club vs Pulsatlillas.

Played with Keith Cridland and did ok apart from a couple of very dodgy drives.  Never more than one in it against Jim Hopkins and John Galloway, ending level.

19 April - Chesfield Downs, Away

Played with Mike Thrower against John & ? giving 7 shots to one and two to the other.  Drove very well with the 12deg Ping under still conditions, ball flying very high but going good distance.  Went ahead on the first then built up a steady lead to end winning 4 & 3.

Calm conditions and not cold.

14 April, Flempton

With Ray Sammons, Nigel Thomas and Paul Brierly.  Very sunny when we started but dark clouds gathering and some thunder and rain.  Started well, hitting good drives.  Then stopped after 9 holes as it started to rain, and had lunch.  Didn't do so well after lunch, cutting drives.

Did well on the short 5th each time, pin high both times but just missing the birdies.

13 April, Seniors - threes

Played with Fred and
Mixed results and a good back nine of 45 after 31 out.

9 April - Rotary Charity Shield

Played with Tony and Trev, last off out of 17.  Arthur's group very slow, losing at least two holes.

Driving badly, maybe because of slight stiffness in back after garden work, and not quite getting my new posture right after Ryan's lesson.  27 points only.

Trev played really well, 22 out, 18 back, only to be pipped by Martyn on countback.  They wer first and second in the Rotary Shield

6 April - Seniors three-man team, two counting

Played with Keith Wood and Keith Cridland.

Good steady stuff for about 35 points.  Finished with 78, all scoring on the 3s, two on the 4s and one on the 5s.  Winners had 85.

2 April - Saturday Stableford

Played with Alan Evans and Walter McLennan.  13 out, 17 back, lots of missed putts and poor chips.

30 March Seniors Silver Jubilee Stableford

Played with Pete Mitchell and John Murray.

Very good round of 18 and 19 points. Fluffed a tap in and went out of bounds at 11 but otherwise driving very well.  Missed winning by 1 shot.
