16 members had a very pleasant competition at Ramsey. Les had again arranged for a sunny afternoon. How does he do it?
The greens were in reasonable condition, but play was held up on a few occasions by dog walkers and a family outing using the footpaths that crossed the fairways.
There were a few notable incidents.
Ramsey annual bar maid quote: When told we were upstairs, Geoff Delany pointed out the Gents sign on the door leading to the stairs and said to the Bar Maid “no women allowed upstairs” to which he had the quick response “would you like some ladies upstairs”
Trevor Chapman kept saying that he hated the course as he played into the trees on up to 20 or so occasions but not many of his balls bounced back onto the course, many going out of bounds but he still managed to score 27 points.
John Dexter was competing with Trevor for tree strikes but most of his came back onto the fairway. He even managed to hit a telegraph pole and claimed a free drop.
Darren Pears made a birdie on the 16th giving him 5 points.
Richard Cheng also made a birdie on th 18th. His tee shot landed in deep grass on a sloping bank and he played a great 2nd shot to within 5 ft of the flag.

Follies Champion matchday 4:

3rd place – Graham Tooke with 38 points
2nd place – Darren Pears with 38 points (on count back)
1st place – Dave Ballard with 40 points.
Nearest the Pin – Kevin Hingle. The only player to find the green even if it was 30 ft from the flag.

Onto the next outing – Thursday 24 August – Stoke Rochford Golf Club
