Our senior pennant team ventured to South Lakes on Monday 14th October for our 4th match of the season. This was always going to be a close tussle against our nearest golfing neighbour and on a course many VH players are quite familiar.

The match didn’t disappoint with the result going down to the very last putt in the final match on the 18th hole. All but one match went down to the 17th or 18th holes. 

Winners were Barrie Bahnert (2/1 up and remains unbeaten), Moth Eaton (1 up) and halves to Dean Towill and Mike Howard gave us three points. Peter Bond struggled against a consistent player at No.1 to go down 7/5 and Andrew Hall lost 2/1 on the 17th.

This left Tom Hancock at No.2 to grab the final match for victory. Both players were square coming down the 18th and both hit into the green side bunker & both played good shots out of the sand. Tom’s putt just slipped by the hole leaving the home team with a tricky 4-footer for victory & unfortunately, it went in!!

A 4-3 loss to the home team was a great effort & we are still placed in the top 4. We resume on the 28th after our bye next week.
