Rob Montagu with 37 points wins at Dale Hill on the Woosnam course
For three of our four meetings this year we have been blessed with super weather with several members wearing shorts on a beautiful April spring day. We had 21 players (7 threeballs) on the course and all made it round in circa 4 hours which was excellent.
A big welcome was given to Brian Cook and Rob Weavers who were out on their first MGS meeting along with three guests John Torpey, Tim Bee & Tim/Tom Gorringe. The latter a long serving member of the society whom it was great to catch up with. Hopefully all enjoyed themselves on a great day for good golf with the course in excellent condition.
Worthy of mention is an unsavoury incident on the ninth hole where a club was volleyed at the handicap secretary. Unfortunately, no VAR was present on the 9th hole where on the slow motion replay it was clear that a red card and a long walk to the showers would have no doubt been the order of the day. Just what you might expect from a West Ham fan I guess. All in jest by the way.
A fine round by Rob Montague edged out James Gallifant by a single point to win this event. Full results from the day are below:-
