Scratch League 



The Scratch League clinched the division 1 title for the first time in 6 years on Sunday in a nail biting encounter against Peterborough Milton.

With the game being nip and tuck throughout it was left to Paul Harris and Jack Brown on the course with both arguably holing the winning putt. Captain Harry Larkins would like to thank everybody who came to support on the day and all the players that played throughout the season.

The seniors suffered defeat in the local derby match with Kingsthorpe on 5th August. The results being; 

Roger Street ,Neil Hufton lost 6/5 
William Wells ,Paul Phillips lost 4/3 
David Kerr ,Steve Battison won 4/3 
Ron Steedman,Bob Andrews halved 
Ray Kingston,Arvind Kacchia won 3/1
Tony Bishop,Peter Darby lost 5/4

Some heavy losses there though I am reliably informed the opposition performed exceptionally. Roger Street and Neil Hufton ,for example, being on the receiving end of two 20 handicappers being level par better ball when losing on the twelfth hole! It's obviously tough in bandit country!!

Worth a mention is another appearance and win for Ray Kingston. His partners must of course help but he does keep churning the victories out.

Lastly a mention for the home club Kinsthorpe their course, catering and hospitality were excellent.
