Pre-Season Warm-up, Oswestry GC, 23rd March 2025
And so, under gloomy skies, 21 Golfing Munchkins made the 50 mile trek along the Yellow Brick Road to Oz, well, it was the B483 Wrexham Road actually, to enjoy the Pre-Season Warm-up Event.
It's a lovely course, albeit a bit damp underfoot following recent rain, but a great choice to kick off 2025. Anyhow, there was the usual stream of excuses from all directions about ..."not having played since..." etc, but everyone was hitting decent drives off the nervous first tee all the same, and it was enjoyed by one and all.
The winning score and title of the Wizard of Oz went to our reigning champ, Mr John Chappo, with a very decent 36 points, just pipping our Vice Skipper, Mr. John Roche.
NTPs were won by Robbie Henderson, Peter Batey and his Chu-Chi Legs, Guest, Liam Girwan, and the eternally 80 years young, and returning Mr Roberto Sneddon, whilst the Captain's Draw Prize for the highest Random 6 holes score went to JR (albeit after a Card draw off against John Chappo, who had the same score)
Gertie Goose was not up for grabs just yet, as she's still enjoying her Winter roost at Casa Dennis, but she is looking forward to re-acquainting herself with everyone at Prestatyn...
