It was a beautiful day and the course was a lot drier than it has been for some time. With preferred lies through the green the team scoring wasn't what we have come to expect although individually there were two plus fives to Bill Donnelly and Frank Eggert. In all, out of a field of sixty five, only seven broke par with a further five at even par, still it was a good day and a pleasure to play with the sun shining and no wind. Dennis Cooper is becoming a sought after partner with a win two years running, last year with Peter Watson and this year with Brian Hanrahan. individually Dennis (21) was +2 while Brian (10) came in at -2. As John Cummins would say "you're the man Dennis".

Don's Party avenged last weeks defeat with a resounding victory over St. Georges Basin 5 1/2 to 1 1/2. From all accounts the teams golf was immaculate from tee to green, well almost. David Burgess in a mind blowing act of selflesness sacrificed his match to fire Chris up to conquer his nerves and go out and blitz his opponent. That's what friends are for. Ashley " Gyro" Southon had some anxious moments but with the aid of Google Maps managed to hang on to square his match after being dormie three. A tree that suddenly appeared in front of Ashley's ball on the 18th no doubt robbed him of a win.
We are at home this coming Sunday when we play a local derby against Highlands and the players are hoping for a huge BGC members crowd to cheer them on.
