Wednesday 2 February:
Stroke and M.McGrann “Bag-day” qualifier—With conditions proving to be much more palatable this week, scores were going to be more palatable also. The most “agreeable” score on the day went to the effervescent Ms Dickson, who won the voucher with an impressive Nett 66. Of course, Lynda also qualifies for the bag play-off in November. Although an impressive score, Lynda’s 66 only won on a countback!
“Old Man River” Hubbard continues to defy his age, and his Nett 66 not only snared him the Runner’s up voucher but also beat his age –AGAIN, off-the-stick!! Great round Allan. With scores like that, it will surprise no one that balls were only given out to those who scored Nett 70, or better!
The daily NTP’s went to Kevin-Bargar, (3rd), Flynn-Coussens, (9th) and to Neil-“Mr Scotland” Leckenby (12th)
Twilight:
You know, dear readers, Your Loyal Scribe is just a modest, and inconsistent B-Grade golfer—but occasionally I get it right! Yes, I had a win, at Twilight, with a lucky 21 points. ( And the best part about it—my wife played with me and saw every CONSISTENT shot. I even got congratulations—that’s only occasional, too!!) The runner’s up to “lucky Ron” was Lance-Atwell, with a solid 20 points. Good work, Gator! If you scored 18+ you can claim a ball! NTP’s were won by Kevin-Bargar—again, (12th), Bruno-Kennedy, (15th) and to Kim-Kennedy ( 17th—for a superb 2nd shot that was nearly an eagle!)
Saturday 5 February:
Stroke and Monthly-Medal—With the days warming up again, it was inevitable that the scores would heat up, too. One of two of our “hottest” players on this day was Wayne Kempton, with a really terrific Nett 65! Shaggy has been threatening to do this for a few rounds now, and the pay-off is a double reward; the B-Grade voucher AND the February Medal! Tim-McKail can consider himself VERY unlucky, as his Nett 65 earned him the A-Grade prize, but any other day the Medal would have been his too! Good work, Tim. Willo was the daily runner’s up with Nett 68, but also a solid 70 “off-the-stick!” Understandably, balls only extended to Nett 71. NTP winners were Geoff-Fall, (3rd), Sam-Dennis, (5th), Peter-Fox, (9th), Tim-Blanche, (12th) and to Ken-Barratt, (15th).
