2015: Team Game Yellow Ball (20.5.)

Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 20 May 2015
Today we had to turn up earlier than usual as the Golf Club had to accommodate a large outside Society who played after us. We were 28 members and one guest ready to play a team game.  The competition consisted of the three best results which in itself would have been a nice relaxing game, but to give it a further dimension, our Captain decided to also play a “yellow ball”.  This ball was allocated to the 4 members of the team consecutively and giving us some extra stress as the “yellow ball” counted double and had to be included in the three best scores.  Nobody was able to achieve level par of 144, but congratulations go to the winners and runners up, both scoring equal points.

As this was a team game, the Consistency Chart remains the same from last week.

During this week there was also one of the Doubles Knock-out Matches being played.  Bob Crow and Karine Sienaert eventually got the better of Jan Boultbee and Doris Shearman-Earp after seven (!) extra holes.

Summarising of the results:

Nearest the pins:
Hole 4           Dave Davies
Hole 8           Santi Hung   
Hole 11         Michael Davison
Hole 14         Gay Brooks

There were also three 2’s, Santi Hung on hole 8 and John Garnett and Jean-Jacques Lavergne both on hole 11. They receive the customary golf ball.

The main competition results were:
2nd place with 141 points, Roger Hunger, Santi Hung, Gordon Burton and Stan Tarabula who was their “ghost”. 
1st place with 141 points, John Garnett, Chris van Bemmelen, Stephen Grey, Luc Verhaegen, who had a better result on the back 9.
