The V.V.Vs:
We finally had a decent size field to contest the vouchers on offer.
Although the ladies playing put up with gale force winds blowing them off course, the day’s results were unfortunately not able to be posted, because the back nine scoring was not possible due to an admin error, in the Miscore system.
Wednesday 17 September, Stroke and Canadian Foursomes:
This different type of event requires each paired partner to combine well with the other.
Therefore, the pair who work the most efficient will usually get the job done better than the rest of the field.
The pair who finished on top on this day were Paul Kennedy and Kevin Conway.
Although not having played a lot before this day, P.K. and Kevin just clicked, to post a superb Nett 66.
Yet, this impressive result only just got the chokkies as Alan Macdonald and David Waterman came in with a Nett 66.5 – meaning they were “dudded” by only half a shot.
With plenty of excellent results like these being recorded, the ball rundown only reached a Nett 71.
There were only two NTP winners because the tough fifth and twelfth holes were just too challenging for the entire field.
Dan Hyndman grabbed the one on offer on the fifth, and Dale Horrobin was a two time winner on both the ninth and the 15th.
Saturday 20 September, Stroke and Flag Day:
Ok, so who could carry the proverbial flag the furthest?
The simple explanation for that definition is as follows: you play a stroke round.
If your final 18 hole score is a Nett 69, or more, then you pack up, enjoy the camaraderie in the clubhouse, then go home.
But – if you better par (Nett 69), then you “carry” the flag for the shots you end up under par.
So, on this day our winner was Ben Lever, who just edged out Andy Lockey by about 30 metres.
(Explanation: both Panda and Andy had the best Nett results, posting superb Nett 68s in tough conditions. But, Panda hit a drive about 30 metres longer and so carried the flag the furthest).
Well done to both boys.
Ben also won the A Grade voucher, and Andy had to be content with the daily runner up prize.
Mr. Consistent Maltman claimed the B Grade voucher.
Barry’s Nett 70 was good enough to claim that.
Balls slid on down to Nett 72 only.
All five NTPs were claimed, as follows: P.K. (third), Paul Osbourne (fifth), Happy Gilmore (ninth), Mr. Pinkster (12th) and finally to David Lever (15th).
