The Rotary Club of Corringham Thameside

Brian Price and David Fenn were keeping their fingers crossed that the rain stayed away as they waited anxiously to play Rayleigh Mill in the second round of the District Golf competition at Lords Golf and Country Club. The weather was overcast but it remained dry when they met their oponents John and Martin. Neither Brian or David had got in much practice, in fact David hadn’t played for a year, so it was more a case of hope than expectation. We narrowly lost the first hole and halved the second before Rayleigh took a firm grip on the tie as they went 4 holes up after 6 holes. Then Corringham staged a major comeback by winning the next three on the trot to reach the turn just a single hole down. Corringham, however were unable to sustain the comeback and lost four of the next five holes. Well done to Rayleigh Mill, they richly deserved their win and we wish them all the best in the next round. Their was plenty of friendly banter on the way round, and much laughter when Rayleigh’s John landed his ball in the bucket of a mechanical digger. I bet he couldn’t do that again if he tried. I suppose the brightest part of Corringham’s day was the bright red trousers David wore. Wherever did he get them from?
