Jonathan Perry

Kevin Walsh

An excellent team performance, with Jonathan and Kevin dovetailing well. After a solid start and an early 2-hole lead, a series of pars closed out the game for a 5 & 4 win. Kevin successfully played below his handicap to frustrate our friendly opponents. (Who were very sanguine!)

Kevin Price

Steve Mitchell

We made the mistake of losing the 1st hole to opposition who were very steady and built a solid lead by the turn.

Despite the odd moment and a better back nine we were never able to make any in roads.

Lost

4 & 3

4

John Jardine

Dick Lumsden

A very close match with The Warren. Better ball score of gross 80 and SbN pair 82. Local knowledge paid off in the end. The Warren pair were always in the lead and for every hole we pegged back, The Warren edged ahead again on the next.

The handshake eventually took place on the 17th green.

2 & 1

Tony Carman

Roger Davies

We were one up, until we were two down with 3 to play. We won the last to square the match.

We lost 8 balls between us and did well,having to give away 6 shots each to our opponents.

Enjoyed the crisp bar at half time.

Ray Firth

John Williams

As the saying goes; 4 up after 7 never wins so we duly lost 2 & 1. Huge blips from John and Ray in the middle of the match. Thoroughly enjoyable with good company.

Andy Higginson

Eric Fisher

Eric and Andy enjoyed the colourful trees lining the holes. Indeed, so much that they decided to play many shots from behind trees. Despite this, they put up a good fight in a competitive match which was played in good spirits.
