The Day

With the holiday season in full swing for most of us, we invited our friends from DOGS and Pocksia to join us for a fun 2 player better ball stableford event for our return visit to Riverside. Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us and with 45 players turning out, it made for a fun afternoon on what was an almost empty course in front of us.

As we did for last year’s event, all the registered players were divided into 2 pots based on handicaps and the pairings drawn to make the 2 player teams. Thank you to Mark Johnson and Craig Edwards for assisting with the registrations and pairings.

Once teams were drawn we headed out for our shot-gun start just after 11.15am which was fortunate because, whilst we enjoyed a windy but dry round, as we were enjoying the post game celebrations the heavens opened and blessed the course with some more rain.

This week marked the last game, for a while at least, of regular Tee Set and DOGS player, Detlef Bluemke. We thanked Detlef for his friendship and support and wished him bon voyage as he leaves to take up a new assignment. There was of course time to capture one last skirt photo, even if we were not collecting skirts this week, with some of those who had a skirt on the day joining Detlef for the photo.

Detlef also brought along a couple of cases of refreshments so that we all stayed a little longer in the clubhouse and enjoyed a leisurely late afternoon chatting and relaxing before taking the relatively smooth ride back into town.

In the event, the top 3 teams were awarded a bottle of wine each with Arne Tjaden, Karan Khetan, Rosie Putri, Mike Webb, Al Livingston and Kim Pham (after a count back from Craig and Tim) all getting their prize. The full results are below.

A thank you also to the Riverside staff who looked after us well on the day. Photos as usual are here.
