The first fixture of the 23rd season of the Society saw 20 members attend any early start at Cleobury. Spring maintenance on the greens had just been completed which caused concern amongst some but didn’t cause any major issues. The weather was good, a cool start, but it stayed dry all day. Even with the early start there was nobody half asleep as Neil Kinsey (20), Neil Slater (23), Paul Dukes (20), Roger Mole (22), Archie Shaw (21) and Mark Richards (22) all scored well on the front 9 (Badgers).
The back 9 on Deer Park proved a bit more of a challenge for all, except for Carl Ralph, who added a blistering 26 points to his 15 on Badgers to give him the 1st major of the season with 41. Runner up was Neil Kinsey on 39 and 3rd place went to Neil Slater on 39 also but decided on count back.
Both Nearest the Pins went to Paul Dukes and the Wooden Spoon was won by Darren Fillingham.
The next fixture is The Chase on Sun 24th April. There may be some disappointed members, as a few think Bradley Walsh is playing!!!!
