Taunton having won their qualifier stage benefitted from a first round bye and were due to play Nottingham in the second round at glorious Brancaster. The weather was dry but the wind, in true links golf, was fresh!!
Team and pairings consisted of …..
Gary Hector & Phil Stickler
Richard Willacy & Greg Whalley
Pete Whalley & David Higginson
Tough school again Gary and Phil lost 2-1, Richard and Greg halved their match on the eighteenth and Pete and David fought back to 1 down going down the eighteenth but didn’t manage to win the hole back, so Taunton lost 2.5 – 0.5. Unfortunately, we had car tyre problems which needed sorting out before the long drive home so we were unable to put a full team in for the Salver BUT were allowed to follow the field at midday and play another 18 holes amongst ourselves which was, as always, fun and competitive.
Well done to Captain Pete for leading the team and Gary for sourcing the excellent accommodation.
