KIT - May 2022

Today's KIT involved Sue, Emma, Kate, Angela + Don, Ken, Arthur and Nigel .

After the usual rounds (where we all play against each other), the scores were pretty close as usual, with Emma being the top lady and Arthur the top man.

The final ended up as being:

Emma & Don v Kate & Arthur

(with Kate & Arthur winning 6 - 4)

Kate & Arthur - winners in May 2022!

Tim's golf trophy

Today saw the inaugural match for Tim's Trophy. One of his favourite sayings when we were just about to hit a putt was "Don't leave it short!"

Somehow, in a extended period of fine weather, we managed to play the match in rain and wind, as you will be able to work out from our rather bedraggled appearance below.

The prize!

 Today's competitors - Geoff, Ken, Sandy & Steve

Ken ended up as the winner today - we will play again in a month's time!
