The Eggs held their Men’s Senior Open Day on Tuesday which attracted 136 golfers from far and wide to Normanton. The course was in superb condition and the weather was not too unkind. Our visitors were very complimentary about the club, the staff and the course, borne out by many returning year after year.
The Ladies section once again helped out by serving the complimentary refreshments at the half way house. This year the committee and the club captain agreed to donate the collection to the Royal British Legion in commemoration of the D Day Landings. Our visitors and club members were very generous and the fantastic sum of £319.21 was raised. This ,in addition to the two flags purchased by the Eggs for their nearest the pins on the 2nd and 10th meant £359.21 has been sent to the Royal British Legion.
The course proved to be challenging and with the introduction of course rating minus par, scores were lower than usual.
The results were
1st Andrew Hobson and Shaun Moyser 44pts Willow Valley
2nd Trevor Jones and Phil Turner 43pts NGC
3rd Steve Swales and Emlyn Pickup 43pts NGC
4th David Holt and Dave Coward 43pts NGC
5th Dean Williams and Roger Patrice 42pts Outlane
Nearest Pin 2nd Ron Eames 8’7”
Nearest Pin 10th David Tee Hanby 1’11”
There were 12 two’s each receiving a complementary sleeve of balls.
A big thank you to everyone who helped on the day, particularly the ladies who ran the half way house and Tina and her team for keeping the golfers fed and watered, also Sharon and Callum and Sarah for their help and support.
