Our reigning champ / chump Phil Nightingale started off the proceedings, with his delicate footwork on the tee, It was a bit like dancing on ice, but on grass (see below).
Considering the windy conditions on some holes, some good scores came in, notably our patriarchal captain Steve Corley with 34 points and Phil Marlor (shame about the shorts) with 33 points. Another memorable moment was Danny Horne's eagle on the par 5 sixth hole with a 9 iron from 126 yards that holed out.
The winner on the day with a well played 38 points was Phil Herring, who was consistent from tee to green throughout the round. Closely followed by a previous winner Ed Coupland on 37 points. Third was Kev Tyler on 34 points who also walked away with the nearest the pin trophy on the 15th hole, shooting it to within 18 inches. The longest drive was won by the powerhouse that is Phil Nightingale. Some say he resembles John Daly on the tee (in his clothes only).
Please do not forget that your enchanting captain Steve Corley (still almost a CBE) needs to know the numbers for the golfing weekend in Cambridge on the 13th July, which is going to be a one night, two rounds of golf, DSC golf society trip. This is going to be a really good jolly and there are only 16 places available, so it is first come, first served. So please send an email to Jules by the 10th June if you wish to attend.
