The annual competition for the members when they play for their Christmas Turkeys took part over the Saturday and Sunday when the weather was completely different regarding the two days.
With players having the choice of which day to play due to daylight availability it was the Saturday entries who had the best of the conditions with excellent golf weather and the Sunday entry was a case of playing in thick fog throughout the day.
With 12 turkeys on offer there was only 1 pairing who could produce a winning score on Sunday with players claiming they had not got the foggiest of where they were going such was the visibility on all the holes.
The winning score of 60 nett from Chris Booth and Tony Stead was made on the front nine from a 27 nett score with the latter having birdies on the second and third holes whilst Chris Booth followed with an eagle on the fourth and set up their turkey prize.
In second place came Steve Beeby and Dan Cooper who thought they had lost their chance when the former who had a tremendous round put his ball out of bounds on the 17th and his partner was way off line but in play. Dan Cooper then made a mess of his second shot and was still quite a way off from the green but then saw his ball go in the hole from his next shot from a distance for a glorious nett eagle which gave them a back nine of only 29 shots.
Peter Lawrence Brown and last years junior Captain Bryn Jenkinson produced an eight birdie round for their turkey and then on Sunday Jarrad Hazelden and Dan Schofield produced the round of the weekend considering the fog which had players hitting off the tee when players in front had given them the all clear shout.
A straight shot was certainly required and they did this with monotonous regularity to set up their turkey with a 30 front nine nett score.The shot of the day happened on the par 5 12th hole when the former hit his second shot and reached the green to find his ball 2 feet from the hole and then missed his nett albatross putt but got his eagle score.
Paul Kaye and Simon Senior came next with Tim Brook and Chris Rothery also having a 64 nett to get their Christmas Dinner which the club present to them on Christmas eve.
