2015: Indiv. Stableford (13.5.)

Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 13 May 2015

Today’s competition was Individual Stableford. However, on this occasion we had a diminished field of players due to the fact that we did not return from our annual away trip, this time to Aguilas, until quite late on Tuesday evening and a lot of us felt that three days, and for some of us who went on the extra day, even four days of continuous golf was enough and we needed a day of rest.  However, some brave souls who went on the trip turned up on this day and came in with very good scores, especially Michael with 35 and Jan with 33.  How do you do it?!
Congratulations to Helmut, the winner with a fantastic 39 points.

The short par 3’s were taken over by our Belgian contingent, Luc S and Luc V, who not only were nearest to the pin but also scored birdies.  And Roger, one of our newer members, did well on the back par 3’s.  Well done to all !

There was also a singles knockout being played.  Well done Chris van Bemmelen, who beat Bob Crow.

We also had four guests today, and the guest prize went to Marleen who scored a good 32 points.
