Calcot Results (sort of)22nd July at Calcot Park will go down as one of the more memorable Captain's Days. The morning Greensomes enjoyed a peaceful 9 holes with Terry Wall and John White runaway winners on 21 points, and Paul Staples and Mike Bell sharing a two. A few hours later the Afternoon Stableford exploded 9 holes in when thunder, lightning and a torrential downpour closed the course and cut the power. With players - and dinner - threatened, the competition was abandoned and one or two players drifted off. After 45 minutes the course reopened, power was restored, and the most determined souls ventured back out to complete friendly rounds. With some playing only the front nine and others only the back, the Captain and Organiser devised impromptu rules to determine the day's winners. Trophy Standings are based on 9-hole results. Congratulations to Tony Wilkinson who was declared overall winner on countback from Paul Stewart - each with 20 points for 9 holes- and Nick Buse who took the Captain's Shield with a combination of good playing and good luck. For good measure the BHT also went to Nick. Special thanks to Rick & Val Jones for maintaining order and turning a chaotic day into a very enjoyable one. Captain's Day will continue at Hockley (see left). |
