2015: Team Game (11.11.)

A Motley Crew :)

Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 11th November 2015

With the flu claiming more “victims”, amongst them our Captain, we had 29 members and 3 guests competing in a team game. This was announced as a “Mystery Team Game” where all team members played Individual Stableford but nobody knew which scores were taken into consideration.  At prize giving all was revealed, in fact the two middles scores of each team were counted. So it was somewhat bad luck for the teams of Jean-Paul Leroux, Michael Davison and John Garnett who all scored points above 36 and whose scores were not counted. But well done to Richard’s team who came second despite Richard’s score of 37 being discounted.  Congratulations to the winning team who included Nino and Ricky, playing as guests today but who will join our Society shortly.

There were also two special prizes for the best male and female player, sponsored by our absent Captain.  Angel, we wish you a speedy recovery!

After the prize giving, the Vice Captain handed out an information sheet with details of her Away Trip next year in May.  This trip has been organised well in advance to give everyone the opportunity to make suitable arrangements. The details can also be seen on the website under “Announcements”.
