2012 NOMADS SOCIETY CHAMPIONSHIP
On a dreary windswept day, 31 of the societies finest teed-it up on the Crown Course at Tracy Park near Bath.
The players arrived early to tuck into the Bacon Baguettes and coffee, some fortitude to brave the elements. Three newcomers to the society were on parade, John Gauci, Paul Meaker and Mark McGirr’s young son, Matthew. Despite the conditions, I think they all enjoyed themselves and hopefully they will be returning for more fun.
On the scoring front, the conditions kept the scores down and it was former captain and scorer, Simon Howlett came out on top with 32 points, just beating on count-back, Derek Freeman-Jones and Bob Hale. The Divisional winners saw Tony Bourne (Div 1), Chris Pulfree (Div 2), Wayne Stewart (Div 3) and Matthew McGirr (Div 4), take the money. There were also other prize winners; Nearest the Pin (Darren Williams), Longest Drive (Paul Meaker) and a share of the Par 3′s (Tony Bourne and Dave Curtis).
The meal was simple but effective, Ham, Egg and Chips followed by Sticky Toffee Pudding was enjoyed by all.
