THE Gloucester Veteran Golfers turned out on Monday this last week to avoid the hubbub of the “race of the century” the following day and they did so in steamy hot conditions with only Peter McIntyre playing well enough to play inside his handicap.
The event, which was sponsored by Carolyn Davies, was an Individual Stableford in which Peter McIntyre turning in a card reading 37 points for a worthy win in the conditions.
Ball winners were Carolyn Davies 36, Karen Howarth and Derek Bardwell 35 and Arthur Poynting and Paul Thibault 34.
There was no one near the flagstick on the green at the 4th and 13th holes although the story was different at the 6th and 15th holes with Carolyn Davies and Ken Kelly taking home the Nearest-to-the-Pin trophies there.
This last Tuesday, 11 November, the Gloucester Veterans were to host the Wingham Veteran Golfers in an Individual Stableford for the Glowing Shield, an annual competition between the two veteran groups.
This coming Tuesday, 18 November, they will play a Four Ball Better Ball Stableford sponsored by Ros and Peter McIntyre.
