Lawn Speeds

At 1430 on Day 1, lawns 1 and 2 were playing at 12 seconds; lawn 3 and 4 at 14 seconds.

Lawns 1 and 2 were cut before play started on Day 2 and were playing at 12 seconds first thing.

All slower on day 3; but not timed.

Day 4 was overcast and cooler, which took the edge off the speeds; around 10.5 seconds at 1630.

News

David Magee has located the Sidmouth nightclub.

The groundsman thinks that the reaction of player with the belt was quite entertaining after he'd played a bad shot.

No-one completed a TP against Tony.

13/14 games on Lawn 2 included TPs; by contrast, lawns 3 and 4 only had 4 and 3 respectively.

Jeff Dawson won 8 of his last 10 games, having started with 4 losses on day 1.

30 tps or better from 56 games.
