There was no V.V.V. Comp this week, as the Club hosted a Senior’s event on the Monday.
The V.V.V’s will definitely be back next week, as more and more of the “girls” return to regular competition.
Wednesday 3 September: The Stroke and M. McGrann bag-day qualifier.
There was a larger field than in recent times, a reflection on improved conditions and more reliable weather.
This seemed to appeal to our daily winner, Noel-Cross, because Noel’s Nett 68 “blitzed” the field by a significant margin!
His Nett 68 just showed what good form he is in at the moment – a promising sign for the looming Master’s-pennant season.
The runner-up on this day was Mr. Consistent, Barry-Maltman, who posted a Nett 72.
The balls reached down to Nett 75. NTP winners were Senior-Garside, (3rd), Mr. Hendy, (12th), Alan-Macdonald, (15th) – and to illustrate the dominance that Noel-Cross had over the rest of the field, he took home NTP’s for both the 5th and the 9th.
Saturday 6 September: Stroke and Monthly-Medal
Under sunny and drying skies, the scores were always going to be impressive. And, wow, wasn’t a Nett 64 impressive! That winning score came from the ‘flashing blades’ of Troy-Murphy, who took home the A-Grade prize AND the September Monthly-Medal.
Good shooting, Troy!
But we can’t ignore the most improved Junior at Warburton, at the moment, young tyro, Manny-Humphris!
Manny took home the B-Grade voucher with a Nett 69, as his handicap is ever-decreasing. (Now down to 25,from 29, in a matter of weeks, leaving Dad way behind!)
Shane-Ford also had a slashing Nett 66, but he had to be content with the daily runner-up prize because he is also in A-Grade along with his mate, Mr. Murphy.
Ironically, the ball rundown extended way down to Nett 76, the lowest it’s been for some time during a medal round.
All five NTPs on offer were claimed by these clever golfers: Jack-Gallagher, (an Eastern G.C. visitor, on the 3rd), Pete-Fox, (5th), Rob-Ferguson, (9th), Troy-Murphy, ( again, on the 12th) and finally to Dale-Horrobin, (15th).
