The seniors had a glorious day for their latest competition this Tuesday (11^th August). Clear skies, warm sunshine, and just enough of a breeze to keep the temperature from getting too hot. Combined with superb greens one might think conditions were perfect for high scoring, but the reality is that with rock hard and fast fairways from the continuing dry spell most players struggled to score well.

As always there were a few exceptions and there was a 3 way tie on 40 points at the top of the pile. Back 9 countback protocol determined that Gordon Kells finished 3^rd, Brent Ridley 2^nd and the winner was Trevor Haslam.

There were many cries of “Oh No Not Again!!” when that result was announced, and that’s not really surprising as this is the 3^rd time in the last 4 years that Trevor has won this particular trophy! Next year we are thinking of renaming it the Trevor Haslam Trophy, and banning people from playing for their own trophies – it’s the only way we can think of ensuring someone else wins it!!

There’s a friendly match at home to Chatsworth on Thursday and then it’s the Birks Haywood Trophy next Tuesday. That’s a pairs competition and rumour has it that the largest brown envelope might secure Trevor Haslam as your partner (if it’s deemed big enough!!) 😊
