What a difference a week makes. Only seven days earlier we had a beautiful day, sunny, dry albeit a bit chilly.

A week on – cloudy, rain and still chilly. The beauty of British weather. Never fails to surprise. A bit like a Farrington Park Seniors’ Medal Competition, really. Going along quite nicely for fifteen holes or so, thank you very much then . . . bang! A double digit score out of nowhere finds its way onto the card. Never fails to surprise.

Division One: winner Dave Harvey nett 69, Steve Hobbs 71, Jerry Musselwhite 71. Division Two: winner Steve Gay nett 70, Don Perry 71, Tony Clement 71. Division Three: winner Mel Field nett 66, Richard Collier 67, Ray Wilkinson 69.

Bank Holiday Monday weather? Never fails to surprise!
