2015: Individual Stableford (25.11.)


A chilly start to our Wednesday competition fueled by a cool breeze which threatened to keep the scores down but the forward yellow tees for our male members helped to produce some above average scores. A good turnout of 36 members and 3 guests helped to produce a good competition.
Whilst not among the winners this week, Michael Davison now looks to have an unassailable lead in the Consistency Chart after a quiet couple of weeks from his main challenger Eddie Rogers. Like last year though we are awarding prizes to the top 10 players in the chart, so please keep on fighting, if only to replenish your wine cellars.
Two of our ladies, Jan and Greta despite the tee advantage for the men produced their best rounds for some time but not quite enough to defeat Helmut who had a great round of 39 points to win the competition.
Our league team who haven´t had the best of starts to this years competition were playing earlier this week against Don Cayo at their home course, Altea Golf Club. I am delighted to report that we won 3 games to 1 with wins for Dennis and Michael, Richard and Eddie and finally Greta and Jan (Despite their handicap cuts after today´s competition). A great result which we hope is the start of many more.
