Easter Saturday’s club singles golf competition was a seven-hoop game, twenty-five-minute cap, with no adjustments for handicaps.
Instead of signing up beforehand, as is usual to set the order of play, players simply turned up on the day, and played according to a novel draw method.
The games captain drew one name tile at random and asked its owner to claim a court and a colour set (that is, primary or secondary balls).

One of those drew two tiles and repeated the procedure.
Players could choose how many games they played which was appreciated by those who had family commitments on the day and others who ran out of puff.
The club’s statistician has calculations to do, accounting for handicaps, games played, and the alignment of the planets.
Graham Bender ran the most hoops. Ray Doyle cleared hoop four from twenty yards out, Charles Campbell achieved a sixteen-yard hoop clearance, and Lyn Jeffrey had the great satisfaction of making a fourteen-yard hoop.
Special mention to beginners, Jenny Hennessy and Lyn Jeffery, braving competition with just three instruction.
All together an enjoyable Easter Saturday.
