THE Seniors at Minehead and West Somerset Golf Club began the week with a Florida Scramble which was a very closely fought competition.

With the top six of the 11 teams finishing within two points of each other, Peter Chapple, Nigel Moore and Mark Watson won on countback with nett 69. Second were Willie Brown, Roger Green and Nigel Trevelyan.

Four teams recorded nett 71, with third position on countback going to Steve Gay, Mike O’Keefe and John Perkins.

On a perfect late autumn day later on in the week with no wind, the first round of the Trafalgar was played. This winter 4BBB competition is one of the highlights in the Minehead Seniors’ calendar year. There were no excuses for the weather conditions and as expected some excellent scores returned.

First on countback with 44 points were Roger Read and Richard Austwick, second Malcolm Bruce and Mark Ruttley and third with 41 points were Martin Hole and Bob Arthington.
