The Monday V.V.V’s:
This day’s group saw the ultra-consistent, and saffron-smooth Georgie Houniet take the spoils with an excellent 17 points. Georgie plays consistent golf every round, which means the handicapper needs to note those ultra-consistent results. Vicki Hottes showed much improved form with a 16-point result. Good work, Vicki. There were no NTPs on this day.
Wednesday 10 July, Stableford:
It’s a well-known golfing fact that if you beat your handicap, (37+ points), you have had a very satisfying day on the course. Glen Patrick would be very satisfied then, because under challenging conditions, Glen racked up 39 impressive points to beat his handicap (convincingly), and to collect the top voucher. The daily runner-up was old mate Darryl Ward with a pleasing 37 points. 35 points was the cut-off for the ball rundown. NTP prizes were taken home by Hatty (3rd and 15th, good shooting, David), Matt Maloney (5th), Glenn Forbes (9th) and Rob Ferguson (12th).
Saturday 13 July, Stableford:
With a wet July developing, it could be safely assumed that above-average scores would be few-and-far-between. But loyal readers, there are always exceptions. This day’s comp saw that Chris Leighton and Barry Maltman were clearly those exceptions. Chris just won the day by one point only, posting a fine 39-point result. This was an excellent result under the conditions; and so was Barry’s, with his 38 points. Both those scores were clearly ahead of the field, although balls only crept down to 36. NTP results were not available for this day.
