          Eagle Two: Gerry Robbins

Lady Captain Jan was lucky with the weather for her Captain’s Day which was enjoyed by all in glorious sunshine thoughout the day. Husband Patrick, was by her side taking photo’s and kept busy serving refreshments to everyone half way round.

 Everybody and everything had a tinge of pink and Di Robinson won the prize for the best lady dressed in pink. Vice Captain Liz Murdoch presented the Lady Captain with flowers in appreciation for all the time and effort she had put in to make it a very special day.

 A 3 Ball Alliance was played and the winners were – Margaret Sheepy, Jane Dennick and Chris Lees with 87 points. Second were Felicity Carless, Trudi Kaye and Liz Jones with 82 points. Third were Martine Gilks, Felicity Furber and Sue Watkins with 81 points. Nearest the Pin winners were Maralyn Brown on the 8th hole and Angela Eadon on the 11 hole.

During a Grey Nags’ match at Fulford Heath on 7th June, Roland Oliver scored his first ever hole in one, using a 7 iron from the elevated 11th tee, imperiously carrying the 137 yards and nestling into the hole after a single bounce.

Roland and playing partner, Gerry Robbins pushed on to win 3 and 1 against Fulford’s Lionel Baird and Bryan Dyhouse, but could not save the team from going down four and a half / two and a half overall.

It was a most enjoyable excursion played on the delightful Fulford Heath course where the greens are in exceptional condition.

This is the second hole in one witnessed by Gerry during Nags’ matches in the past 4 weeks, indicating the quality of play which can prevail in competitive Senior’s golf.
