The Monday V.V.V’s:
With the biggest field playing since last Autumn, there was much frivolity and enjoyment on-course, someone who enjoyed herself greatly was Sally-Anne Clarke, because she took home the top voucher for her solid 18-point total. That effort won on a countback from the unlucky Georgie, although Georgie did take home the runner-up prize. And, yes, dear readers, there was an NTP won because Sally-Anne really topped off her day with one on the 9th. Great golfing, young lady. It is to be hoped that the V.V.V. numbers will grow as the real Spring weather kicks in. Where are you, Ineke, get home soon.
Wednesday 30 October, Stableford:
With the combination of good golfing weather and fantastic course conditions, it was no surprise that a very healthy midweek field produced some seriously eye-popping results. Ken Barratt popped most member’s eyes with a fine 41-point result. K.B. is a seriously talented golfer when he is on his game and he was really on this day. Neil ‘Mr Scotland’ Leckenby returned to his regular consistent form with a 39-point score posted. Andrew McMath also hit his best form, posting a strong 38-point score. The rundown reached 33. NTPs went home with Steuart Hawke (3rd), Dave Hatt ( 6th on his second shot), Captain Whitehead (9th), P.K. (12th) and Noel Cross (15th).
Twilight:
In week four of the insanely popular Twilight event, George beat Georgie. That is George Brown, with a fine return of 22 points, took home the top voucher, beating Georgie Houniet, who had to be content, once again, with the runner-up prize, for posting 20 solid points. Well done to both of them for their fine rounds. The balls extended, in the big field of 55, down 18 only. The NTP winners were Captain Whitehead (10th), Ash Hall, (12th) and Troy Veeneker (15th).
Saturday 2 November, Stroke and Monthly Medal:
And so another Monthly Medal has been played and won by Tim Jones. Since Tim has returned to the Club, a good result like this (Nett 65), was always on the cards from weeks ago. Good golfing, T.J. The runner-up voucher was snared by Aaron Henderson, with an exemplary Nett 67. Dale Sund had a very good day, grabbing the third prize and two NTPs, if you don’t mind (3rd and 12th). Great job Dale. Balls only went down to Nett 70. The only other NTP won was by Peter Fox, for a superb tee-shot on the 9th.
