Fine weather, fine score

As spring arrived, short sleeves have been the order of the day during the fine weather in recent weeks at Bath Golf Club.

The ladies played a Foursomes and Australian Spoons this week. The winning pair with a fine score of 41 stableford points were Louise Blake & Alison Gardener, two ahead of Rosemary Paterson & Ann Tonge with Jane Franke & Ann Hitchin third on 37.

Over the winter, the ladies ran singles and foursomes round robin competitions instead of knock-outs in order to play several fun, meaningful matches in the colder months. It was a challenge fitting all the matches in and a few went beyond the 18th and ultimately finished in darkness.

The winner of this year’s single competition was Tonge, with Sue Morton-jenkins & Linda Mchugh claiming the pairs.

The men played a Fourball Betterball Stableford on Saturday, with 39 pairs competing. Fine weather with an easterly breeze made conditions interesting but top of the pile with a great score of 46 were Mark Daniels & Luke Mattiussi, just one point clear of Patrick Rogers & John O’mara with Mark Oliver & Keith Lunt were third on a number of scores of 44.

With the change to British Summer Time, the bar at the club will be open until 8pm Monday-saturday and until 7pm on Sundays. The kitchen will close for food at 5pm Monday-saturday and 4pm on Sundays. From next Friday, the clubhouse will be open for drinks and breakfast from 8am so you can arrive early and relax before your round.
