Today we played our first team game in April and our Captain chose a Texas Scramble which can be quite relaxing and enjoyable unless you are not driving well! We had 8 teams competing, 7 teams of 4 players with a minimum of 4 drives each and 1 team of 3 with a minimum of 5 drives each.
For the first time in weeks the wind dropped but then we had the rain and those at the back of the field caught the heaviest downpours.
The team of 3 are generally at a disadvantage in Texas Scramble games but as you can see from the photo that was not the case today with the dream team of Edi, Roger and Jean Jacques blending perfectly with a gross score of 68 (4 under par) to win by a substantial margin.
The full results were;
Nearest The Pins
Hole 4 - Dennis Pyman
Hole 8 - Roger Hunger
Hole 11 - Dennis Pyman
Hole 14 - Neville Woodfine
Two´s Club
Hole 8 - Roger Hunger
Hole 11 - Dennis Pyman

Competition Placings
2nd Place Gross 72, Net 63.6 Richard Davis, Graham Sutton, Gordon Burton and Neville Woodfine.
Winners Gross 68. Net 60 Edi Rogers, Roger Hunger and Jean Jacques Laverne.
Our President Neville and Sandra only arrived back from the UK at 10,30 pm last night so the lack of sleep obviously did Neville´s game the world of good! Our Captain Angel reminded all the members present that Neville is celebrating his 80th birthday next weekend and to mark the occasion we will be having a special lunch after next week´s game which we hope as many members and guests as possible will attend.
Many congratulations to all this weeks winners.
