The Captain’s Extravaganza was enjoyed by all and raised funds for Heads Up.
Paul Barrington delighted everyone with his golfmanship and banter. The Panto Cow performed superbly (thank you Tom and James), depositing a splat on square R23, much to the delight of the winner, Jill Bocquet.
The putting competition was won by Freddie Lovell, with 18 putts, just beating Jack the Pro, who had 19. The winning balls nearest the balloon markers were: Polly Williams, Richard Sheard, Tina Davies, Josh Higgs and Andrew Boatswain.
The Wells Stragglers played Mendip Springs Golf Club at home. Seven out of the ten Mendip Spring members have played for over twenty years against Wells and their course knowledge proved better than ours; especially on the greens. Wells lost 3&2 with the second leg on Sunday, 25th September.
The winning pairs were Richard Mansfield and Jim Chalmers, John Baker and Philip Kenworthy.
Rumour has it that there is some ‘magnetic (magical indeed) force’ operating around the ninth Green as it took charge of John Baker’s trolley and drove it into a bunker! Beware, the Force may not be with you.
The Ladies’ Interclub League team won their match against Orchardleigh in fine style, adding valuable points to their season total.
