There was a good turnout for the LX Section Caesar's Challenge this year following some concerted promotion by the organisers headed by Caesar 2010, Alan Rider. The 70 entrants competed in three separate competitions, Individual, Team and a Yellow Ball. The event was open to all GX members.
Congratulations go to Laurie Batten for being the first winner of the Caesar's Challenge trophy from the high handicap section with a score of 39pts.
*
The Yellow Ball competition proved testing as 12 of the 24 teams failed complete the 18 holes with their Yellow ball, a similar proportion to last year. There were also 4 "nil points" returns for the teams that managed to lose their Yellow ball on their first playing hole!
*
Gary Middleton snatched the Nearest the Wavy Line prize early on by landing his ball on the line with the first drive of the day.
*
After a Ploughman's Lunch, Caesar presided over the prize giving. The Captain gave a vote thanks with a Latin theme, Alan Rider, Tony Pike and John Ramsbottom in particular were praised for their major contribution to the success of the day. "And so say all of us !"
