2017: Indiv. Stablefored (28.6.)

Today's runaway winner with 40 points - Guy Letort
27 members and 1 guest teed off this Wednesday on a sunny but quite windy day. Average results were certainly down a little, but there were several players who made light work of the conditions and deserved their liquid prizes at the end. None more so than our overall winner who came in with an excellent 40 points - félicitations to Guy Letort!  Some of our more vocal members attempted a rendition of La Marseillaise at the prize-giving, but were not quite sure of all the words. (Our New Zealand winner of a nearest the pin prize, Roger, was greeted with an even less convincing version of the haka.)

It was good to welcome Eric Pages back from France who, as the only contender, had no trouble carrying off the guest prize with his 30 points. Four people managed birdie twos today on the par 3s, and David Payne won Jan and John's hidden holes prize (a sleeve of Titleist balls) with very good scoring on holes 6, 7, 12, and 13, all of which have their various difficulties.
