Results from Whitehill GC

This was a peculiar day out at Whitehill GC. All our other visits have been glorious sunshine, but for some reason we were subjected to a deluge of rain. Some rather fortunate souls only had to brave 1 hole. Of course it was our brave and tireless Captain Mr Corley who was unfortunate enough to be out at the front who suffered the most and we commend him for his stalwartness, however it was deemed that the course had become unplayable and that we had to retire to the clubhouse until the rain stopped. This meant a delay of about an hour, which did mean that Crow could join us- so it wasn`t all bad.

Anyway the day unfolded and we were surprised by the course and its ability to shed the water. Some good scores came in and just to compliment the handicap system we had a tie at the top for first with the eventual winner being deemed by the countback system which was Tim Mountain. Second was Jules and third was Mark Brownjohn. It must be noted that San Francisco Dave didn`t manage 49 points though this time.

The Team result was won by Philly the Kid, Tim Mountain and Henry Mountain (who came in with his best ever society score- must be all that cycling you are doing Henry).

Nearest the pin was won by Darren Smith and nearest the pin in 2 was won by Jules.

A special mention was made of Phil Marlor who has helped out the society with getting us a cheap round at Brocket which will be on the 7th September (sunday). We need to know who is playing as we only have 24 places available.

Cheers folks
Jules
