2015: Indiv. Stableford and Ford League Qualif. (21.1.)

Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa, 21 January  2015

Today we played Individual Stableford which also qualified for the Ford League Competition.  We had a full house with all the allocated tee-times being occupied  and consequently had an earlier  start than is  normal for the winter months.  Some of us are struggling with the early tee-times, especially on these cold winter mornings. Thanks goes  to Graham, our Captain, who tries to accommodate as much as possible  the varies requests from the members.
Congratulations  to all the winners for the excellent results which have been much higher than of late.
The shot of the day goes to Luc Verhaegen on hole 17.  His second shot was heading into the water and Luc was ready to play a new ball, when  seconds later  the original ball took a big jump out of the water with great speed and landed a good 50 yards sideways of its point of entry giving Luc  a good line onto the green.  That’s what you call a  Member’s Bounce!
