Wednesday 21 September PAR:
You know, loyal readers, all golfers have a “lean period” which can last from a couple of weeks to a few months. This week’s mid-week winner was suffering through the leanest of lean periods. But, on this golf day, with a glorious sunshine bursting through all day, Patricia-Eldridge, had the best score that she has posted for some months.
A +2 was just enough to give her bragging rights and the winner’s voucher.
All involved that day at the Club, were genuinely pleased that Trish’s lean patch appears to be over for a while.
Although it must be mentioned that even then, she had to “sweat it out”, for she survived a countback, from immediate Past-President, David-Hatt, also recording a +2.
Even so, both those scores beat the rest of the field by 3, which is why the balls ran down to -3!
Well done to Hatty, but especially to Mrs. Eldridge, as husband Mick, has owned the household “bragging rights” for far too long.
There were only two NTP recipients, they being Hatty on the 3rd and Mario DE Vincentis on the 9th.
Saturday 24 September Stableford:
Under welcome sunny skies, a healthy-size field went out to tackle an ever-drying course, most going early so as to NOT miss the big game – go Cats!
And the player who kept his mind focussed on the job at hand was Craig-Staggard, who clearly has Club “bragging rights” at the moment.
For you see, folks, Staggie posted the first 40-point score we have seen since autumn.
Great result, young Craig. Steuart-Hawke recorded a 37-pointer, for the R/up voucher, and can consider himself a little unlucky, because that score would have, more than likely, won the day during the last 3-4 months. (The “thin sister” will be very pleased for him, I think!)
Balls, though, extended all the way down to 30! And, once again, we did NOT have a full list of NTP winners – Sam-Dennis won on the 3rd, Liam-Kay on the 12th and Ryan-Wilson snared the 15th.
