Suffolk Seniors v Suffolk Vets on Friday 20th September 2024 @ Halesworth Golf Club
Playing for the Crystal Challenge Bowl the 4bbb matches, off handicap, provided an extremely close encounter. With sunshine and a sporting wind the standard of golf was impressive with three matches reaching the 18th green.
The first match out on the course was a nip and tuck affair with the Vets pairing of Eunice Gray and Wendy Flack forging ahead right at the end to win 2up.
In the second match, the Suffolk Vets were ahead all afternoon. Playing the 18th 1down, it required a brilliant birdie from Suffolk senior Rita Fossey to win the hole and level the match.
In the third match, some excellent golf from Kristina Matthews and Jude Hanner resulted in a 2 & 1 win for the seniors.
It all came down to the last game on the course and the last putt on the last green.
The much experienced Anne Archer calmly rolled in her four foot putt, followed by a fist pump and a big smile, to keep the match at A/S.
The final result a tied match at 2 all. Following last year’s victory the Suffolk Vets retained the Challenge bowl to the delight of their non playing captain Yvonne Southey, who had been supporting and encouraging all day.
My thanks to Halesworth Golf Club for their hospitality and the delicious post match meal.
