Seniors Pairs, Plate - 20 July

Plated against Alan and John of Wavenham.  Two pars to start put us 2 up, lost second on the 7th but won 8 and 9. Then 10 and 11, halved 12 and won 13 for 7 & 5 result. Hit ball straight, remembering to turn properly. They were always in the rough so struggling.

Haverhill, 15 July

Lovely day without being hot.  Played with Robin Tinston against short Keith and tall John. Started at 16th and won first three. Then a further three pars but losing two of them to shots. Going very well until the last few holes when I got a bit ragged so after being two up with three to go we were all square on the final 15th. Robin won that, coming in at last!

Crameri Cup, 12 July

At Knebworth against Steve Fenn and Ahmed. Pouring when we were due to start so waited a while. Set off with some clearer patches showing but still raining for a few holes. Won first with my par then second with Tony's. Could have won next two if putts had dropped but held onto lead, playing solidly together. Four up with four to go, losing next but winning the 16th. Very enjoyable chat, particularly back in the bar.

Seniors k/o - 11 July

Against Eddie Collins and John Galloway, partnered by Peter Mitchell. Led all the way to 17, getting to two up with four to go. Then lost 18 to Eddie's birdie.

Captain' Day - 9 July

Grey start and some rain. Windy too. Really punished by the rough, getting just 10 points out and 11 back. Weather improved by the end. Home to the Famjam, everyone having lunch in the conservatory when I got back.

2 July, Stableford

Windy, one of those days when the direction changed. Played with Pete L and Alan E, getting 31.  Driving very dodgy still, can't find that secret from Kilworth Springs.

30 June, club vs Bishops Stortford

Played with John Humphreys against a 10 and a 17 hcp.  Went down early on and turned at 2 down but ended level.  Royston won every other match.

29 June, Wednesday. Seniors

Another best two out of three.  This time with Eddie Collins and John Galloway, scoring 42/41 for win.

22 June, Wednesday Seniors

Played with Ray Sammons and Mike Thrower in best two from 3.  Quite windy so difficult scoring.  Won with 78.
