Hondon Valley Golf Society ROB BROWN WINS MATCHPLAY FINAL AT EL PLANTIO AS BOB BERRIMAN TAKES GOLD TO WIN AGAIN!
Rob Brown beat Paul Richards 2 and 1 to win the Matchplay Trophy. Giving Rob 11 shots was always going to be a difficult hurdle to overcome and so it proved. Paul fought back hard from being 4 down at one stage and started the Back Nine only 1 down. But Rob played some excellent golf, held his nerve and hit the ball a long way to become a worthy winner. Elsewhere on the course Bob Berriman coped well with the blustery conditions to win the Gold Section as Dave Tomlinson and Cliff Parkinson carded 33 and 23 points respectively to win Silver and Bronze. In readiness for a ten o’clock start, thirty members, including 3 new members and 2 guests assembled at a busy El Plantio for the November Stableford. The weather was set fair with plenty of sun about although it felt cooler in exposed parts of the course where the wind played its part. The course was in very good condition even though some areas had been recently re-seeded. The Caddymaster, Santiago, and the girls on the desk, especially Maria Carmen, were their usual helpful selves in making the HVGS very welcome and ensuring everyone enjoyed their day’s golf at this very popular venue. During the prize giving Captain John welcomed the three new members, Steve Ingerson, John Ainscough and Steve Munn. He also thanked guests Barry Smith and B Knowlton for supporting the golf day. He reminded members of the forthcoming AGM and the proposed amendment to the HVGS Constitution which will, if adopted, mean that, in future, the Captain’s year of office will start on January 1st following the AGM and cease on December 31st when the Vice Captain takes over as Captain. Therefore, subject to the members vote at the AGM, Graham Palmer will take over as Vice Captain from Geoff Rabey who will take over from John Wilkinson as Captain on 1st January 2012. There are only 7 tickets left for the Presentation Dinner Dance. Please contact The Chairman on 966180657 or 618636754 to reserve your ticket - only €15.00 for members and first guest; €20.00 for non members or second guest.
