Captain/President Charity match 3rd April
Another keenly fought match in cold northerly wind. The sort of day that despite multiple layers, we couldn’t get warm.
Mike Jacobs and Lionel Levine took on myself and the President, who was giving me 15 shots!
Pars and a few net birdies from the opposition meant we were 3 down after 8 holes.

The Capt/Pres pairing fought back with pars and a birdie at 10th – I holed a long putt from left to right across the highest green to gradually get level, we then dropped back. We won the 16th and 17th to complete a 2&1 victory.
Played with a very friendly, competitive rivalry.
Memorable holes (for me!): 10th as above plus on 11th I holed with a putter for a par from the bank above the green.
Over the year, hoping to raise a good sum for this Manchester based charity – to carry out research into the genes that are involved with cancers.
Course: drying out further, a week with no rain.
