2015: Christmas Present Day (16.12.)

Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 16th December 2015

 

With Christmas approaching fast, our Captain declared today's competition the “Christmas Present Day”. So on this occasion not only the top results were rewarded, but there was a present for everyone. 

 

We played Individual Stableford in weather which was reminiscent of a beautiful spring rather than a winter’s day.  By hole 4, off came the jackets and sweaters giving us the freedom of an unrestricted swing which definitely helped some of us. It certainly seemed that way with today's winner Helmut who scored 21 points on the back 9 and with this win he climbed into the top 10 of the Consistency Chart. Well done Helmut!

As there was no report last week, I would like to mention the winner of the December Medal, Luc Verhaegen. Congratulations for a fantastic round of 69 which started with a 9 and finished 4, 4, 4 which is quite a task for any player.  He continued his excellent form today with 34 points on a reduced handicap and narrowly missed third place.

We had two guests playing today and Rudy’s friend Franz won the guest prize.
