A Remembrance Sunday to remember!

The mild November weather saw a trip for Ian and Tim to Chassieu as SMC went on tour again.

It was decided that the match wouldn't count as an official SMC as this would be unfair on Neil, especially as the SMC stands so delicately poised at 3-3-2.

So, it was to be a matchplay showdown from the yellow ties, with the Big Easy graciously allowing 9 shots.

The standard of play on this pleasantly warm Sunday was very high. Ian carding a 78 and Tim an 83. The matchplay victory went to Tim, 4&2. There's hope for the 20 handicap barrier as the scorecard added up to 43 stableford points with 19 "coup reçus", which would have brought the handicap down by 2.8 from 21.4 to a miniscule, McIlroyesque 18.7!

The challenge is there to raise the consistency and take such solid hitting to the Verger...

Here's the magical scorecard!
