Clodagh upsets the Plodder's (Late risers at least)

With the weather forecast issued for the weekend being so poor from lunchtime Saturday, it was the early risers who profited from the clear skies with Steve Korab (11) securing first place with a level par 32 points. Much travelled pair of Keith Fitzhenry and Garry Davies scored 31 points with Keith going further on the last six to take second place. With conditions deteriorating during the morning, four members carded ''Waterlogged Cards''. Sunday saw Malcolm (green-keeper) having to wade across the 10th in his wellies.

In the winter pairs, some mouth watering scores saw John Welch (14) and Wayne Iverson (4) record 40 points - a real splash when some greens were partially under water. This edged out Richard Greaves (18) and Gary Aldred (10) into second on 39 points. Third came new Captain Nick Avino (14) and partner Martin Holden (11) with 37 points.

Abi 'gale' Storms the Party

The weather took its toll on Saturday and Sunday again with just a hardy few braving the elements.

The incredible fact of the weekend must be that Mytton Fold Golf Club must be the only course in Lancashire where play from the fairways (lush and free of divots) was possible and on to greens that were fast for the time of year.

No single competition was played but in the doubles Dave Clegg (10) and his diminutive partner Mike Chatburn (16) scored an incredible 37 points over sixteen holes to take first place.

Second, recording 34 points, were Peter Main (14) and partner and teacher Phil Hammond (5). In third place on 33 points were Gary Aldred (14) and Richard Greaves (18) who entertained the bar with his wonderful repartee.
