Men’s Section
Grouse Greensomes — Sunday, September 23
THIS competition used to be played as a straight alternative shot foursomes, but this year it was played as greensomes, which means the partners in each pair both hit from each tee and they then choose the best tee shot and play alternate shots from there.
The format ensured a tight contest which saw Les Clements and Derek Medland and Glyn Saunders and John Doleman both finish joint first on 38 points.
However both pairs could not be split using the normal rules of countback, so a tie was declared.
Seniors Section
Away match v Holsworthy — Monday, September 24
THE seniors came up against a strong Holsworthy side and were on the wrong end of a 5-1 scoreline, with the home side also winning overall.
Nearest the pin for Launceston on the day was Terry Swords, which made his day a little better after he and his partner Robin Johnson lost their match heavily.
