The Senior Stableford was held on a chilly but dry December day. Twenty seven seniors enjoyed the competition and (even more so) the delicious Christmas lunch laid on by Toni, Nigel and the Club House team. During the meal, the winners of the monthly competitions over the past few years were presented with their trophies by ex-club and senior captain Terry Cotton. The Xmas Stableford winner was Reg Whitelock with 38 points, with Mark Maguire in second on 37 and Mike Weston 3rd with 35. A raffle on the day raised £153 for the HomeStart charity. Overall, it was another great senior day at Folke and a big thank you to Toni, Nigel and the Club House and Centre teams for all their great work. Merry Christmas Happy New Year to all the Folke community.
