Mill Green Vs Shire
Away Match Report
Sunday 19th October 2008
ALL HAD FUN !

Junior members form the Tiger club visited the prestigious Shire London Golf Club to play a match along side the junior members of the Shire's Rookie club.

The format for the day was a team Texas Scramble as suggested by the Shire's Head pro Chris Whitelegg. This was to enable all the golfers to be mixed up into teams to ensure that everyone had a fair chance of winning a trophy as well as getting to know the members from the other club.

Luckily the weather stayed dry for us all and the standard of golf produced by everyone was once again brilliant as the par 3 / 4 course was was quite tricky with undulating greens, plenty of water to contend with as well as long rough.

The team scores showed how good everyone played on the day with the winning team coming in at only 3 over par with a score of 33 and second place with a score of 34, all the other teams were all very close.  I only wish that everyone could have won a prize as the sportsmanship and behavior from all the Tigers was impeccable and they certainly did us proud.

The winning tigers were Florrie Moss Winterbottom, Andrew Tomlinson, Henry Taylor and George Avgousti (well done all of you).

Henry Taylor acted as match captain for the day and did a brilliant job with a fantastic speech and a wonderful certificate that he presented to the Shire which his dad produced for us (many thanks for that).

Lastly I would like to thank the Tiger parents who helped out on the day.  If it wasn't for you, these matches just couldn't happen.

Once again the day finished off with sweets and chocolate.

Thanks
