.Ladies - Lotus Eater Day - 24th August 2009.


As guests of the ladies, we played stableford pairs format, both scores counting, followed by lunch.
The weather was perfect and it was a day for high scores.
George Porter and Sandra McClelland won first prize with a phenomenal score of 84 points! (Should we tell the Secretary and get their handicaps adjusted?) Eric Benstead and Pam Oswald came in second with an excellent score of 77 points. Not quite good enough this time however!

The John Ling Trophy
A convincing win in the first round of the Surrey Seniors Club Knock Out on 16th April against Bletchingly at home. 4 matches won and the final match abandoned due to heavy rain.
Well Played Team!

Not such good news in the second Round however! The match against Wimbledon Common on 20th May was lost 3/2. The match went to the 18th green in the last fourball!
Bad luck team and we look forward to next year.
Thanks to Team Captain George Porter for getting us organized.
