However even though we were all sympathetic we couldn`t call off the Xmas Salver!
So on a beautiful crisp winters morning we all arrived at Royal Aston for this most customary of Christmas events- bit like the turkey dinner. There was 27 on the day with one still in bed - Mr Nick Miller- who had to be woken and cajoled into attending to get the numbers up to seven 4 balls- Nice.
Here are a few pictures of the attendees:
The scores on the day were as follows.........
1st place - Reece Pybus (39 points) Christmas Salver 2016 Winner
2nd place - Liam Walker (38 points)
3rd place - John Scarratt Jnr (37 points)
Nearest the Pin on the 2nd hole - Steve Marshgreen
Nearest the Pin on the 11th hole - Jules
Last place.......... the ever reliable Henry Mountain!!!
After the presentation we sloped up to The Horns for a few more festive beers and a game of cards.
And some of us had to carry on at The Plough in Datchworth as The Horns shut at 9 p.m.
Thanks on the day of the salver go to all that attended, particularly Rocky, El Capitano, Dynamo and TJ.
Cheers Folks!
Just a quick heads up for forthcoming society dates for 2017:
March 10th Brickendon Grange
April 7th Redbourn Golf Club
May 19th Old Fold Manor
June Tour to Spain
July 28th Letchworth Golf Club
August Possible overnight two round trip (Sandwich Kent???) (non society event but open to all)
September 15th TBA
October 20th TBA
December 27th Royal Aston Christmas Salver
Expected cost of each event likely to be between £40 and £50. Captain's Challenge Trophy will be again played for subject to a slight rule change this year.
Also many thanks to Tim Mountain for arranging this year's society days.
Cheers
Jules
