GC half day competition 19 May 2025
A full complement of 24 players enjoyed perfect weather on 19 May for an afternoon’s GC: dry, and neither too hot nor too cold.
Divisions C and E made the manager’s life easy with clear wins for Tim Bick and Rita Dona respectively, both of whom were undefeated.
Divisions A, B and F all produced multiple players on 2 wins out of 3, but two very convincing 7-2 victories meant a convincing win for Nigel Billingham in Division A, with a narrower win for Les Ardley in Division B, and very narrow win by 8 net points to 7 for Chris Baccarini over Angela Jones in Division F.
Division D meanwhile produced the ultimate manager’s nightmare, with Tony Marjoram, David Larkin, and Nira Scutt all on 2 wins out of 3 and all with 3 net points. Resolving the tie by looking at the net points in the games between only the three of them resulted in a win for Nira with 1 net point against 0 for Tony and -1 for David - and the need for a gin on the part of the manager.
