Result - Golf Quadrangular

Thu Mar 27th Grannies/Incogs come 3rd of 4

Match report

Following a kind invitation to join forces with the Incogniti (a famous wandering club with 150 years plus of history and a penchant for port and Stilton over cricket lunches) for this annual event at Porthcawl, the Grannies performed a near perfect act of golfing diplomacy, tugging metaphorical forelocks to elders and betters but showing a good deal of feist on the course to enable a creditable showing of played 2, won one and lost one. As a result the GranCogs (or Innies - a formal name was never agreed) finished 3rd overall which we felt was probably the ideal outcome.

The format is 36 holes of foursomes over the storm battered Porthcawl links. On Thursday we were drawn against MCC and lost 3-1, Yarker and "Wes" securing the only Innies point in the final match but the top match going down the last. On Friday, in the 3rd/4th play off against the Free Foresters who had lost to the XL Club on the Thursday, we triumphed 2.5-1.5 with Hamilton and Dyson and Philpott and Bond winning the two top matches and Yarker and The Colonel negotiating a half as the weather closed in in the third. Creffield chose to play for the Foresters and therefore suffered at the hands of the rejuvenated Hamilton.

Great fun and hopefully as a consequence of judging our performance to perfection we will have secured the fixture for next year as well!
