2017: Indiv. Stableford (9.8.)

Today's quality performers

A somewhat reduced field today, 20 members and 4 guests, nevertheless returned scores which reflected quality rather than quantity among the players: 38, 37, 36, 35 and a good sprinkling of 34s and 33s would testify to this. And all of this on a hot, breathless and sticky morning. The weather forecast had promised thundery showers developing half way through our round, but they never arrived.

Richard had left the basics (cards with labels, pin markers) all ready for me so that I had precious little to do with the organisation today. Stan, too, once more attended to the entering of the scores. It allows me to thank them again for all the extra work they both have done during my absence.

Next week will be a more relaxed team game, but no doubt highly competitive as usual. In September, those of us who play with Costa Blanca and the French will find some slight interruptions owing to hollow tyning at Bonalba. For example, you will see on the notice board that the course is closed on Wednesday 20th and our official competition day that week will be two days earlier on Monday18th. Please adjust your diaries accordingly.
