More great scores on the links

Well, what can I say, were back with a bang. The quality of the golf being played at the moment is quite astonishing. It’s not as if its really easy conditions either. It’s right, in that the ball is travelling a great distance with the run, but that itself creates problems in planning your shots and your way around the courses. On Tuesday, I stood on the 17th on the Championship and looked at the flag bent over and thought I need a 3 iron here. The 3 iron is a 220 yard club for me, I ripped it flush on the flag and ended up 15 yards short. It worked out as a 65 yard wind, in lehmans terms, a 5 club wind!

You’ve got to love it, you would certainly not get these types of shots on a parkland course. Even though I was short I did manage to destroy my playing partners glee by chipping in for a two. He then gut punched me with a chip in himself, he must have a good coach.

Anyway here’s a brief run down of a selection of results from this weeks golf.

Warren:

Vets Stableford - John Gilbert -39 points
(Great round from Johnny, with six, three pointers on the card it was always going to be a good score for this steady eddy)

Men's Weekend Stableford - Peter Smith - 40 points
(In windy conditions, Pete smashed the card with a four pointer on five and then another six, three pointers on the rest of the round. Nice scoring sir.)

Championship:

Men's Weekend Stableford - Martin Cheeseman - 39 points
(Excellent score with 22 points on the outward nine and a birdie at the first start. Harvey Sladden continues his good form with a back nine countback loss and a gross score of 72 littered with birdies. Well done Harvey, keep it going)

Men's Tuesday Stableford - Barry Humphries - 41 points
(Well, what can I say, the new clubs Barry picked up just before going out have certainly worked. With an amazing eight, three pointers on the card the rest of the field really didn’t stand a chance. Great to see new clubs working straight away)

Well done to everyone for taking part and keeping the competitions at a healthy participant level. One thing that has come up from our point of view is a couple of admin bits on marking cards. Can you please ensure YOU PUT YOUR NAME ON THE CARD.

This is quite an important part of us being able to run a competition. Can you also make it VERY clear on the card your name and your playing partners name. You can put both scores on one card and have one person mark it and sign it as long as you both check and agree the scores.
