Pro's Day 2020 I hope you're sat somewhere that has aircon as you read this as this week has been exceptionally hot! Temperatures as high at 37 degrees have been recorded but that has not stopped lots of you getting out on the course. Saturday was my Pro's Day and there was a fantastic entry of 172 players, playing a team stableford event of two scores index 1-6, three scores index 7-12 and all scores index 13-18. After the morning round the score of 113 was leading, that was the team of Andy De Vaux, Nigel Taylor, Richard Morgan and Dave Allen, as the temperature started to rise in the afternoon, so did the scoring as the leaders were joined on 113 by Monica Whelan, Kate Hayward, Jaquiline Darby and Tina Gardner, it was looking like a card playoff until the team of Bernie de Souze, Dave Paterson, Henry Semmence and Garry Appleford took the lead with 114 only to be pipped by one of the last teams in, Mark Haffenden, Jack Stanley, Trevor Boreland, and Steve Clarke shot a fine 116 (-8) for the best score of the day. 1st - M.
