Stretch of fine weather

Wed. July 26th: PAR

Well, dear readers, with a stretch of fine weather, making for improved on-course conditions, the fact that we were playing Par was pleasantly easier to cope with. (Par being the least forgiving of our regular weekly comps!)

On this mid-week comp day, the player who clearly “coped” the best was Max-Carvill, posting a +1 to take home the voucher on offer.

Max is a local bus-driver, with a “school run!”

Fortunately for the kids, Max is NOT one of those golfers who will “bore the kids witless” with his latest success.

The daily R/up was Mr. Consistent Maltman! Barry matched his handicap, posting a “square” result.

Balls extended to -2. NTP winners this time were—John-Hall, (3rd), Glen-Patrick, (5th), Tom-Barr, 9th) & Alphons-Duivenvoorden, (15th).

Sat. July 29th: Stableford

With the improved conditions continuing, making for a friendlier course, scores were always going to be more impressive.

The most impressive overall, was Matthew-Maloney, who posted a result of—37 points.

Matt is a new member who I wrote about a few weeks ago, because he has been struggling to post an even “half-decent” score in his early rounds.

Not any more – his 37 points beat the field by a good 3 points, because the R/up, David-Hatt, took home that voucher with 34 points.

A good result, Hatty, but still “off the mark.”

The ball rundown got to 32 points.

NTP winners were as follows: Ken-White had a good day out winning balls on the 3rd and the 15th.

Good shooting, Ken! Chris-Leighton got his on the 9th, and Barry-Maltman on the challenging 12th.
