The Outlane Professionals November Four Ball Better Ball was played in the most horrendous weather and whilst the winners survived the later elements due to an early start it was the later ones that suffered and a number of them decided that it was impossible to carry one and walked in after playing only a few holes when the conditions worsened.
The winners of the First Division Peter Lawrence Brown and Bryn Jenkinson have had a good season when they have teamed up and their 64 nett gave them their section win and they were luckily on the last 4 holes when a lot of the outgoing players decided to call it a day.
In fact they completed their second nine holes in a 30 nett which on the day was remarkable with Dale Brooke and Steve Beeby coming in with a 65 nett to clinch the runners-up prize from the recent Alliance winners Nigel Nuttall and Simon Mckenzie who managed a 67 nett.
Another of the early starters Dave Thewlis and Mike Hales were able to register a remarkable Second Division score of 30 nett both on the first and second nine holes and they teamed up to register a 60 nett with the latter having an nett eagle on the last hole (par 5) which was against the strong wind and driving rain to complete his total of coming in on 10 holes whilst his partner also did his part with his 8 registered holes. Tony Stead and Chris Booth carried on when others retired and were rewarded with a 63 nett to claim second whist Alan Henderson and Gordon Drysdale were one shot behind with their 64 nett.
One amazing sight of a golf club in a tree was witnessed by a number of players when they reached the fourth tee and it was when Dennis Pearcey drove his ball over the ravine and with the completion of his shot the club slipped out of his grip due to the wet conditions and followed the ball (not in the same direction) and finished high up in a tree. He later returned to the site after his round and retrieved his club with a ladder and long pole.
