2014: Indiv. Stableford Ford League Qualifier

Todays competition winners and Guy the winner of the weekly raffle
Venue : Bonalba Golf &Spa, Wednesday, 10 September 2014


Today our competition was Individual Stableford which also counted as a qualifier for the Ford Leagues Competition.  For the Ford League, there can be a maximum of 12 games played of which the best 4 results will be taken to qualify.  The two best players will then have the chance to compete as a pair in the Ford League, the first round of which is normally played in the spring of each year. Last year Clive and Doris narrowly missed the cut-off to go into the second round.
Today's results show it was a very close match between first and second place with Jeff winnning by one shot counting back to the last 6 holes.
It was good to see that Edi’s recovery from his operation is going so well and him completing 18 holes with a good score of 31 points. Our thoughts are with John Webber who was taken ill in Germany but is now back in the UK and we wish him well and hope he will be back in Spain playing golf very soon.

We had two guests today, Xavier from Belgium won the guest prize with 34 points.

Nearest the pins:
Hole 4            Dennis Pyman
Hole 8            Edi Rogers
Hole 11          Richard Davis
Hole 14          Jeff Murten

There was a flurry of twos today, 4 in all.  Dennis on hole 4, Richard on hole 11 and two twos on hole 14 from Brian and Jeff, all receiving the customary golf ball thanks to our sponsor Bob.
