Greenwood ( Stableford) Yes here we are again, it is like a long playing record, every time we put it on it plays the same tune. We only book it once a Month a Bert's, but Dave at the Cafe Kronborg also books it and they always seem to coincide.
The drive up there is reasonably easy these days, and back even easier, so the distance is not as big an anti as it used to be. Also value wise this is amongst the best, so it is obvious that this could be a good place to play if the Course is in good condition.
On the day the Course was nearly empty, so we were able to Tee Off as soon as we wanted, and the road ahead was clear. The test was to be the A&B Nines, and we soon found that all the White Tee markers were in fact at the Yellow Tee distances. The wind however was quite strong. The Course was in quite good condition and it was a change to play the B Nine which has been out of play for some weeks.
Back at Bert's all waited with an air of expectancy for the results and with good reason as nearly half of the players had beaten their handicap and had had their best round for weeks. The shortened Course may have had something to do with it.
With a fine 40 points Mashi Kenata won the day a point ahead of the 'Organiser' Derek Brook with 39 points. In third was Mark Brenton with 38 points. We then had 3 players with 37 points, a fine set of scores. We of course then tried some of Bert's 'Specials' and all watched the 'Organiser' eat his special of 'Yorkshire Fishcakes, chips and mushy peas', and fine grub it was indeed. T.T.F.N.
