The V.V.Vs:
Finally – there were enough numbers for a comp this week.
The numbers are growing, the weather is improving and the course is getting easier.
On our first game back for many weeks, our initial winner was the ultra-consistent Merilyn Macdonald, who posted a solid 19 points.
Well done, commissioner.
Wednesday 13 August – Stableford:
Although we had a rain dump the day before this event, the course generally, is holding up well.
Someone whose score held up as well, was Trevor Porter.
Trev clocked up 41 superb points by playing two solid nines and therefore snared the top voucher.
Trevor’s score clearly accounted for the rest of the smallish field, because Tim Jones proved his consistency by posting another solid 39 point result.
Tim is scheduled to play a matchplay final soon against the Mr Consistent of the club, Barry Maltman, and that will, no doubt, be a ripper of a game.
The ball rundown on this day reached down to 34 points.
There was an unusual occurrence with the NTP winners.
Darryl Ward won the NTP offered on the third.
But the other three on offer, (for the fifth, ninth and 15th), were all won by David Mackey.
Great shooting, David.
The tough 12th was not claimed, and once again, beat the whole field.
Saturday 16 August – PAR:
With wintry weather still in evidence, you would think superb scores would be unlikely.
But, as usual, a handful of members climb over the challenge and record genuinely impressive results.
Impressive indeed was Captain Whitehead, who returned a truly memorable plus six to blow away the rest of the field.
Clearly, the captain doesn’t realise that his game is meant to go to pot whilst he is doing such a demanding role in the club.
The daily runner up was one of our very promising juniors, Manny Humphris, whose exploits are leaving dad back in the twilight.
Manny recorded a superb plus three, which is a score not to be sneezed at either.
Good work, junior.
The ball countdown got down to minus two.
There were four NTP winners in this event, they being “Mr. Scotland” Leckenby (third), Rob Mills (fifth), Rob Ferguson (ninth) and to Gary Vollmer (12th).
