Unexpected medical episode curtails V.V.Vs



The V.V.Vs:

Well, loyal readers, our Monday morning girls can’t take a trick.

The field on this day, was progressing steadily through the front nine, when a serious medical episode occurred in a group of men immediately in front.

The incident was serious enough to need urgent medical aid, meaning the girls ended up moving away from the incident, to finish their round by playing a few back nine holes.

At this stage no update has been provided on the condition of the unwell member, but of course, the thoughts of all of our club members are with the gentleman involved.

We wish him all the best.

Wednesday 27 August – Stableford:

Under cloudy, and at times, wet skies, those conditions were always going to affect scores generally.

But, the least affected member in the smallish field was Josh Hin, who took home the top voucher, by posting a superb 39 hard won points.

Captain Whitehead grabbed the runner up prize with a creditable 35 points.

In a first for our club competition, the ball rundown reached down to 26.

Also, in an unusual way, Steuart Hawke grabbed not one, nor two, but three NTPs, with great tee shots on the fifth, ninth and 12th holes.

Terrific shooting, Steuart.

The other two available NTPs were taken home by Tim Jones (third) and Ian Garside (15th).

Saturday 30 August – 4BBB Stableford:

After a soggy week on the course, the final official winter comp was won by high profile mates, Paul Osbourne and Peter Whitehead.

The “Captain” and “Ossie” returned a very creditable 45 points in pretty tough conditions.

Their teamwork was as harmonious as the equally famous Captain and Tennille. The runner ups on the day were Tim Jones and Robert Mills, with 43 points posted – although this was won on a countback.

Balls reached down to 37, a surprisingly low result.

There were four NTPs won, they going to Dale Horrobin (third), Ossie (ninth), Lee Creedy (12th) and finally to Rob Mills (15th).
