Enfield’s GC Open Campaign Begins with Convincing Win
Wednesday 15 April
Enfield launched their competitive season in style with a home victory over Leighton-Linslade, recording an impressive 14–4 win.
It was a strong all-round team performance, with David Frost leading the way by finishing the day unbeaten. Colin Carver, Kim Taylor and Thomas Halliday all performed well but were unable to overcome Leighton’s top player, John Watson, who was in excellent form. Leighton’s other success came from their number two, Judith Hand, who secured a 7–2 win.
Thomas Halliday Wins Season Opening Tournament
Thursday 2 April
Lunchtime at the 10-10
The club’s opening 10-10 Golf Croquet Doubles Tournament proved to be a resounding success, with a record turnout of 22 players and a small group of spectators who came along to enjoy the occasion. It was fantastic to see all lawns in full use throughout the day, setting a lively and encouraging tone for the season ahead.
The weather played its part too. Although the morning began a little overcast, the sun made a welcome appearance by lunchtime and stayed with us for most of the afternoon, adding to the enjoyment of the event.
The competition itself was both friendly and keenly contested. Congratulations go to Thomas, who not only organised the tournament superbly but also emerged as the winner—purely coincidental of course! Colin Carver secured second place, with Chris Twomey finishing third. Well done to all three for their excellent performances.
A special thank you goes to Gillian Porter for ensuring everyone was so well catered for during the day. The excellent refreshments were very much appreciated by all.
Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable event and a perfect way to open the new season. Thank you to everyone who took part and contributed to such a successful day.
