Day 3 of our Festival of Golf was a competition for everybody
with an ‘any combination’ Texas Scramble.
43 teams entered with a great mix of gents, ladies and 1 or 2 juniors on a
near perfect day for golf in the heart of the Peak District.
From the very start the new WHS scoring system helped return some impressive
scores with locals Anderson, Anderson, Finney and Watson returning a 54.1,
soon to be followed by a 51.7 from more locals Flynn, Flynn, Chuwen and
Higgins. Receptive greens, running fairways and some welcome sunshine were
making this a wonderful day to be on the course.
As we have come to expect our visitors were absolutely loving the course.
“It’s a privilege to play here” remarked one of the teams from Huddersfield.
“This is a proper golf course in amazing condition but the greens just beat
us up today.”
Players came from far and wide again to be part of our Open Week and you
were never far from a Yorkshire accent with a strong contingent from around
Sheffield. “It’s been the perfect day! Great course, fantastic weather and
the best Calzone I’ve ever had” was the opinion of the lads from The
Hallamshire.
It was another group from Sheffield – Renishaw Park – Clayton, Garrett,
Mitchell and Thickett who took the scoring to a whole new level with a score
of 49.4 only to be beaten on a back-9 countback by the lads from Renishaw
Park Nottingham – Graney, Dean, Brice and Whittaker – in essence, 19 under
par!
