The V.V.V.s:
A smallish field contested today’s comp.
After being away up north in recent times, Anneleese Duivenvoordenhas returned to golf and found her top form very quickly.
Duivenvoordenhas took home top honours by beating Merilyn Macdonald in a very tight countback.
The fields are expected to grow in the next few weeks as others return to the fold from holidays.
Wednesday 10 September, Stableford:
With improved course conditions, due to better weather, improving scores were always just around the corner.
A Stableford score of 36 is always acceptable to most players, because that matches one’s handicap.
Definitely beating their handicap, although by a small margin was Dale Horrobin, who posted a healthy 37 points.
The daily runner up was Paul “Ozzie” Osbourne, with 34 points. Ozzie also added to his booty with an NTP on the third.
The balls ran down to a lowly 32, but your Loyal Scribe could still not claim one.
The other NTP winners were Angus Hall, for a terrific tee shot on the challenging fifth, Alan Johnston (9th) and to Merilyn Macdonald (15th).
Saturday 13 September,: Stableford:
Under sunny skies and with very little wind, the course offered up more run for golfers who regularly kept their tee shots on the fairway.
One member who clearly played straight for most of their round was Shane Ford.
Shane posted an excellent 39 points to claim the A Grade voucher.
The B Grade prize was taken home by Rod Kempton, with a solid 36 point result.
Paul Osbourne was the daily runner up posting a similar 39 point result – meaning Shane only won on a countback.
Balls got down to 34.
All five NTPs on offer were won by Pup Lever (third), Jason Kennedy (fifth), Louie D, (15th) and two of them (the ninth and the 12th), to the sharpshooting Geoff Sharp.
