There was a very good turnout for the Seniors' Second Round of the Masters and pretty good scoring in both Divisions.
Roger Hill continued his good performance in winning Div 1 with a net 71, closely followed by Eggman Paul Curtin on 73 with Terry Atkins also on 73 taking third on countback.
In Div 2, John Purdy managed the best performance of the day with a net 70. Peter Casey also continues to do well and took second place with 75 and Malcolm Glass had his best round for a while with a fine 76 coming 3rd. I calculate that Nigel Pritchard is in the overall lead on 143 with Roger Hill close on his heels on 145 and Paul Curtin on 146.
Players not in the Masters still had a chance to lift the Covid Cup, which was coupled with Round 2. John Purdy won that with a net 70 - well done Pinky. Roger Hill, working out the stats, must have been second, leaving Paul Curtin in third.
All those Grannies in the Ladies Section competed for the annual Granny Bowl, won by Sandra Walker with a very good 37 points. She is in the form of her life and is also nursing her husband, Chris, back to health after having his arm in a sling but still able to cheer her on and help with the cooking.
I can't believe that Caroline Bond and Stella Thompson are old enough to be Grannies, as they took second and third with 33 points apiece.
Seniors' Captain John Hanna was delighted to host our home match against Exminster and we were proud winners with a comprehensive 5-1 score. It won’t be so easy when we have the return match on their delightful course.
The Beef Bourguignon was very popular and wonderfully cooked by our new top chef, Sandra, fully supported by Alex and Phil.
It was fantastic to learn that, at our Open Days, we had four new membership applications with another two thinking of joining.
Many thanks to all those who helped, especially Andrew Thompson and Kyle Phillpots, with the lovely Jo Hopgood.
