Thursday 28th February

Balmy conditions for the last day of the month which suited Roger Cutts with 41 points. Alan Proud came second with 34.
Next Tuesday is pencilled in as a Texas Scramble subject to an appropriate number of players turning up.
Consensus is that if the teams consist of 4 players the handicap is 1/8th of the sum of the team's handicaps and at least four tee shots of each player must be used. Each team's captain agrees which of the tee shots should be used and all the team play shots from within 6ins of that ball's position. This is repeated (including on the green) until a player holes out. The medal score is calculated as if one player had played all the shots.
e.g. using the first as an example, player 2's drive is used and player 1 and 2 hit the green next. Each player gets a chance to putt from the preferred position and player 4 knocks his putt in. Gross score = 3 and the team handicap is deducted from the gross score at the end of the round.
For teams of 3 players the handicap = 1/6th sum i.e. (13 + 11 + 12) = 36 / 6 = 6.
Management may decide to adjust this suggested format on the day.
