Report by Dave Tweed on Sunday 1st February 2015

Silves was closed this week for the European Seniors Qualifiers, so the Thursday regulars were off to Alto for the morning. Many members were marshalling for the Seniors, leaving 15 of us hardy souls to do battle against each other at Alto - as we played the "split 6" 3-ball game.

Most of us found Alto very "challenging", to say the least! However there are usually human winners in matchplay related games (rather than the course winning!) - although Euan Pyper & Gwynne Jones did finish up with the same score to half their match. The other four games were won by Gerry Davis, Dave Underwood, Frans Bus and Richard Whiteley's guest Stuart.

After four games highlights of the league are as follows. Dave Tweed & Frans Bus are at the top with 6 points and Peter Chapman has 5. Four men with 4 points - Charles Bradshaw, Dave Underwood, Ian Wakenshaw & Colin Hynd.

A further six men have 3 points - Steve Morgan, Euan Pyper, Gwynne Jones, Stuart Walker, Wim Hofmann and Gerry Davis. Copies of the actual league will be at Silves this coming Thursday
