Dorset Golf Resort, April 2022

There were 12 participants for the early April visit to the Dorset Golf resort.

3 of the four planned rounds were completed with the weather claimimg the final day.

Sunday saw a team event on the Lakeland and Parkland 9 s at the home course

Team Trina Brown, John Pritchard, Martin Sykes and David Wain came out on top with 76 points with Christopher Wain hoovering up the spot prizes being NTP on 7th & 17th, NTP x2 10th and the longest drive on the 16th. As he did not have his skirt on he missed out on the ladies prize which instead went to Sue Pritchard. No birdie 2s were scored.

A delayed start to Monday saw a switch to the Woodland/Parkland combination with players finding the opening 9 a “marmite” experience – personally I liked the challenge but that cannot be said for all – particularly David.

Team JP/ Martin/Chris won with 74 points followed by Peter David & Sue P 72 and Reg Trina and Nigel completing the line ups 

Chris only took the longest drive on the 11th. JP took the NTP x2 & NP on successive holes 5 &6 with Sue P NTP on 17th and Trina the ladies longest drive. Sue & Martin took a liking to the woodland 4th to share the rollover 2s pot.

Tuesday took us to Wareham for the Open Championship where no one had played the flat ? (according to David) layout 

This was won by Chris with a score of 36 points followed on count-back by Rob Austen 32 Peter 32 and Reg 31.

Spots went to Martin and Sue for longest drives on the 6th NTP Rob 11th & Chris 15th deferred from 4th where no one got on to the green which also happened to the NTP x2 on 17th.

Peter chipped in for the only 2 on the 11th.

Overall, a successful get together and we move on to August with the main trip returning to Cornwall.
