The day's winners

Carol Marriner

The March Trophy was played in good weather conditions with the sun making a very welcome guest appearance. The wind did become stronger later in the day which affected the later groups. The pin placements were a popular topic of conversation at the 19th hole as they were very tricky and hard to read for most, me included. The many bunkers were visited frequently as were the well placed waste areas. The course remains a fair test of golf and is still to be conquered by the majority of members.

The Bermuda triangle seemed to have been re-located that day as more than one member reported balls disappearing without trace from fairways, never to be seen again. I heard tales of one member losing four balls and that was not counting those lost in the water! The day was marred by the news that our Treasurer, Terry Longman, had written off his car on the way to the course. Fortunately he was unhurt and we look forward to seeing him at our next competition. John Leach, a passenger in the car was badly shaken so we congratulate him for stoically completing his round. Better news of two of our members, Mike Kelly and Keith Porter, who have now been released from hospital and we wish them both a speedy recovery and a quick return to the golf course.

Finally, may we thank the staff at Vistabella for all their assistance, especially the ever smiling Tabitha.

The day's winners were:
Gold Division  Harry Mixture  31 point
Silver Division Mike Ingle  26 points
Bronze Division Neil O'Donoghue 29 points
Nearest the pin Hole 2- Harry Mixture    Hole 6 – John Milton
