THE first round of league matches got underway this week and sprightly veteran Graham Jones of Matlock Golf Club was undoubtedly one of the stars of the show, playing again in the Darley Dale League for the first time since the mid 80s.
Knocking in breaks of 40, 34 and 32 in his singles and doubles matches he paved the way for a 4-1 win over Belper Strutt Club No 1, with Chris Parker also registering a 40 break for good measure.
On this kind of form, they may take some stopping!
Matching their 4-1 scoreline were Bolehill No 1, Edgefold Club and defending champs PJ'z Ripley No 1, for whom Ben Monk notched a timely 35 break to settle a tight opening frame at Belper Strutt Club No 2.
Elsewhere Ian Rose and Dave Allen of Matlock Club won their deciding pairs match to defeat visiting Jaxx Q Club No 1 of Belper 3-2 and Dwayne Martin and Keith Robertson of Bolehill No 2 did likewise against debutantes PJ'z Ripley No 2.
League week 1 results: Matlock Golf Club 4, Belper Strutt Club No 1 1; PJ'z Club Ripley No 2 2, Bolehill Inst No 2 3; Belper Strutt Club No 2 1, PJ'z Club Ripley No 1 4; Bolehill Inst No 3 1, Bolehill Inst No 1 4; Jaxx Q Club Belper No 2 1, Edgefold Club Matlock 4; Matlock Club 3, Jaxx Q Club Belper No 1 2.

Thanks to all captains for transmitting their results so promptly - I'm hoping the local press will carry the results each week too and if we get the full details by each weekend we might even try a bit of a write up each week (depending on space in the respective newspapers). Though will wait and see whether the initial offerings are published first!
The more exposure the league can get obviously the more chance we might get a new team or two joining to see what it is all about.
For anyone who would rather post their results than the alternative methods, I can provide stamped addressed envelopes to help speed things along if it helps. Contact bolehillsec@yahoo.co.uk, ring on 07890 985830, or come to the next meeting.
Cheers Rick.
