UK MAMS OPEN GOLF COMPETITION 2006 For the 3rd year running 24 up and coming golfers met at the Abbey G & C Club, Redditch. Again the weather god’s were on our side and although both rounds were played in dry conditions, previous heavy usage of the course did make putting somewhat of a lottery. Coupled with this was the hindrance of following very slow play resulting in the last few 4 balls finishing in darkness on the Sunday………but in some cases it didn’t make any difference!!!!!!! Any frustration was soon forgotten in the bar as we caught up on each others news, before having our earliest night to date……..02:45 !!! Monday’s round was played much quicker but with some hazy heads and concluded with a small prize presentation on the balcony overlooking the 18th green. Generally the prizes were well distributed although one name did appear more than once…..Dave “Digger” Barnes, winning the Stableford 1st, Best Gross, a Nearest the Pin and sharing in the “Two’s”, in other words, a free weekend ???? Other winners were, Ian Dewar, Kev Jones, (on his farewell appearance ), Richie Campbell, Ade Tew, Stu Askew and Richie Collins with Rik Morgan taking the coveted “ Most Golf Played “ prize. Once again my thanks to the Association and the Squadron for their donations and personal thanks to Neil & Kev Jones, cheers again guys. To conclude this article I would like to reiterate what I said at the prize giving. Taking many things into account, such as being out of the R.A.F. for 8 years, the way the Sqn is moving forward, especially in the last year or so, I feel that in the last 3 years I have taken this particular event as far as I can. It is now time for someone “nearer home” to take the reins and the Mams Open to the next level. My thanks to all participants over the last 3 events and I look forward to “smacking “a ball with you in the future. Please do not let tradition die. Best Wishes Dougie B
