Greenwood   This was to be a two tone day. Let me explain, first we had the normal Stableford Competition, and immediately after we had the Matchplay versus The Cafe Kronborg. Normally this would have been quite stressful for me as 'The Organiser' but on this day I had Dick Warberg to run the Competition and Perry McNeely, along with my old mate 'The Admiral' demoted to Captain for the day, to run the Matchplay. I nearly didn't have anything to say. Nearly but not quite.

 So here I am reporting, and why not?, and the one thing that was constant in both games was the Course. We all played the A & C Nines, and on a day the wind did not blow, the Course was in good condition, the greens hard and fast, no one to slow us down, there was not one reason to complain, and surprisingly no one did.  

 Back at Bert's Dick declared the Stableford Competition results and it was very close. That is after the winner, because Andy Evans threw in one of his master classes and won with a great 43 points. Andy is either really bad or really good. Then we had a lot of countbacks. In second place was Harold Gruber with 38 points ahead of Frank Pilkington in third. Then we had a lot of 37 points that saw Richard Kubicki in fourth ahead of John Vincent and Henry Cignac.

The Matchplay between Tropical Bert's and The Cafe Kronborg was eagerly looked forward to, as these two Venues are very closely linked and share many of the same players and 'Organisers'. So it was going to be cut throat, as are games between friends.

 The two Organisations had different starts to the Season, with Bert's quick out of the blocks and The Cafe Kronborg looking for their first points. However  Dave had many of his Stars that had just arrived, so anything could happen, and it did.
