Pine Ridge – 2024
A very hot day at Pine Ridge on 31st July. The summer arrived. Three new members, Nick Simmonds, Andy Wooldridge and Darren Snell, were among the 17 that played.
There was a symmetry to the result to that in 2017 when Peripatos last visited in that the individual winner was not part of the winning team therefore went home without a Peripatos Gold Pin.
There were plenty of 40+ scores returned but the highlight of the day was the tale of the missing phone. On the front 9 the bracket on John Slocombe’s trolley that held his phone broke. This meant that he had to look after his phone in his pocket or in/on his trolley. By the 12th as he ventured out of the trees for the umpteenth time he noticed he no longer had his phone. His team started to ring his phone hoping to hear his phone. After a while John said “don’t bother my phone is on silent.”. Quite reasonably John decided to abandon his team, retrace his steps in the hope of finding it. Still no phone! 6 holes later, he and Charlie grabbed a buggy to go out to search further. Still no phone! The ever helpful Charlie suggested John search his bag again. Phone found!
Congratulations to Nick Simmonds, your announced score has been upgraded to 49!
