A testing match for the Kestrels

In a game of mixed fortunes, the Kestrels Advantage GC team were up recently against Eynsham players with, it could be said, somewhat  unrealistic handicaps – 10, 10 & 11  - who could all jump!

Although three HWCC players won games, the result was a disappointing 10-6 loss.  Mike Vickery lost his last match 6-7 when his ball was nestled in the jaws of the golden hoop. His opponent Jill James had one final shot on the 13th hoop, a diagonal jump shot from about 7 feet. Not only did she do a spectacular jump shot but that loss sent Mike’s handicap from 6 to 7!
 
On the other hand, with three wins, Kestrels captain Kay moved her handicap from a 6 to a 5!  She wonders if she can maintain the standard for a while -- I think she will!
