Stephen Collins was the remaining award winner with a handy 36 points.

Thursday’s medley stableford competition was won by Michael Hogan with a high score of 42 points. Shirley Quinlan and Neil Mather filled the minor placings both scoring 38 points ahead of Richard Wharton and David Williams 37 points.

Update from the golfing dark web.

This week we pay tribute to Nigel Barling. Nigel distributes the prizes for the weekly golf match. Instead of a covid safe pole of 1.5 metres that he attaches the vouchers to he has a 3 metre long pole.

To be sure to be sure.

Nigel has also made a smooth transition to his new career as prize distributor from his former high profile job as lollipop man at the local school crossing.

He says that the jobs are similar except but that the kids obey instructions and show some respect.
