Seniors Betterball Open Results - October 2019
9 October 2019

Last Wednesday the 9th October saw the Seniors hold our final Open for 2019. I arrived at the course at 07:15 to start setting up the booking in point and the prize table. My first sight was of a green staff putting the final touches on the 18th green. What an impressive sight it was when he finished.

I must admit after all the rain we had on Sunday and the course being shut I was worried we might fall victim to the elements. For those who remember 2018 April Open fell to the weather. What a headache that was contacting people.

First group went out at 08:10 and so we began. We had entrants from far and wide. One chap came from Chipping Sodbury and a pair from Bradford West Yorkshire. We had 100 entrants which was pleasing including Hornsea members. Thank you to those guys for supporting our event.

The day went well and we had many comments about how the course was looking good. I have to mention how I had a great team  behind me taking care of the tasks that have to be covered. I don’t think people realize what’s involved. Thanks go to the starters Peter Stamford, Dave Egerton and Mike Guidry on the score board Malcolm Hester and the desk was manned by Peter Bridges and Dave Miller. I must give a mention to Patsy Yeates for her help looking after the halfway house. A special mention goes to Linda Bridges through Peter. What fabulous baking she does especially her Lemon Drizzle cake, to die for.

We had some good scores which are below 

Finally thank you all and our next Opens are 8th April and 14th October 2020.

Good golfing everybody.
