2014: Indiv. Stableford (26.2.)

Venue : Bonalba Golf & Spa, Wednesday, 26 February 2014.


Today we played Individual Stableford.  Our Vice-Captain who was in charge of this week’s competition, had a somewhat difficult job organising the start times, as on this occasion, there were only a limited amount of buggies available and some of our members rely heavily on using a buggy, hence the slightly diminished field of players.  However, that did not deter one of our senior members, Norman Emmerson, to come in with a magnificent score and win the competition, and, being as fit as he is, used his pull trolley, as always!  At the prize-giving someone suggested we should do a “drugs test” on Norman.  Was there any brandy in that coffee consumed on the 10th ?  Also congratulations go to one of our new members, Greta Biersteker, who achieved an Eagle on the second hole, a par 5.

We had 6 guests playing with us today and awarded two guest prizes. Second place went to Michel with 34 points and the winner Mike Turner also had 34 points, beating Michel on the back nine.

Nearest the pins:
Hole  4           James Burnet
Hole  8           Richard Davis
Hole 11          Helmut Treiber
Hole 14          nobody managed to get onto the green

There was one two today, Richard Davis who receives the customary golf ball.

As for the competition results:
5th place with 34 points off 8 hcp, Greta Biersteker
4th place with 34 points off 26 hcp, Peter Corbett, beating Greta on the back 9
3rd place with 35 points off 6 hcp, Dennis Pyman
2nd place with 35 points off 21 hcp, Stephen Grey, beating Dennis on the back 9
