Autumn is upon us. The light in the leaf-strewn undergrowth beneath the trees at Hersham is dappled. Finding one’s wayward ball is challenging. But we gave it a good go.
There were no losers on the Strollers Golf Day, only winners. But the sleeve of balls to the least-winning participant went to Brad Trebilcock. Longest drive went to Tom Wood and Tom Salvesen was nearest the pin. There were eight winners with scores <=29.
Top 5:
Jonny Waugh 32
Alastair Macaulay 32
Simon West 33
Will Salvesen 38
Tom Salvesen 41
A tremendous effort from Tom, who bagged a pineapple (who needs another pitch mark repairer or towel?). Special mention goes to Jonny, whose 32 was scored off a handicap of four. And many happy returns to Dave Knight. A good turnout for an enjoyable day. We will do it again at Hersham next year provided it remains unsold.
The groups:
*Richard Keightley, Brad Trebilcock, Jonny Waugh.
*Alastair Macaulay, Dave Knight, Simon West.
*Tom Wood, Mike Shattock, Josh Shattock.
*Tom Salvesen, Will Salvesen, Stephen Rogers, Freddie Broster-Turley.
