Seniors Invitation Meeting

Date:13th May 2009
Venue:R.Ashdown Forest G.C.

Report

13 OTs and 11 guests made up a suitably even number, but your new organiser of this event was less successful at providing the best of weather. However, Ashdown itself was as hard and fast and scenic as ever, and the old-timers managed some very creditable golf despite the murk and mist.

Playing 4-ball, better ball, stableford off yellow tees enabled half the field to reach or better 40 points and the final reckoning was very close.

Second prize involved a countback at 44 points in which Stephen Stowell and Mike Folb’s 19 points on the back 9 was bettered by Stephen Edlmann and Tom Hewlett with 22 points. Stephen and Tom started at the 16th tee and finished with a birdie 3 at their last hole at the 15th. They in turn were pipped by John Crates and Clive Herrington with 45 points, also thanks to a birdie at their last hole at the 18th.

The event provides a great opportunity to entertain guests in the relaxed atmosphere which Ashdown and the OTs never fail to achieve, and it is to be hoped that even more OTs will avail themselves of it in future.
