AMBROSE PAIRS

Ambrose Pairs was the format for todays play. The round was originally to be played on 11 April but was postponed and has taken the place of the American Foursomes scheduled for 9 May.

Conditions on the day were perfect with a top temperature forecast of 24 degrees and blue skies.

20 played registered to play and there was the usual pre match banter

Would this group of pairings prove to be the winners?

What about these two would they prove victorious?

SPOTS OF BOOVER

Not a lot because the Ambrose format is very forgiving and the chances of both player ending up in a Spot of Boover is remote. However there were a couple.

Shelly lost control of her sand bucket to the amusement of her playing partner, Gardy.

Barry must have got into a lot of boover when Ladies Day was played because he took home the Mug's Cup that was finally handed over on Saturday, not that Barry was in any hurry to get it.
