2020: Indiv. Stableford non-qualifying (24.6.)

Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa, 24 June 2020

 

This was our fourth non-qualifying Stableford competition after Lock-down. We had a good turn-out, considering the present playing situation, of 24 members and 1 guest.

 

Congratulations to everyone on the winners’ list.  With 33 points, Helmut was on par with Richard, but as always in this situation, the better back 9 counts, which in this case went to Richard.

 

My group followed the flight which included Jan Boultbee.  We saw her jump up and down on hole 14, the reason of which became clear when the result sheet came in.  She putted in for a two.  Well done, Jan, the only player with a 2 today.

 

Our game next Wednesday will be a bit more competitive as this will be the re-start of qualifying.  This first qualifying round will count for the Society competitions, although not for handicap adjustments.  As Spain has started to use the World Wide Handicap System, please look out for an announcement, which is coming soon, with information of this system.


And, please get ready for the first prize presentation after Lock-down, with complementary tapas, sponsored from Society funds, to celebrate our get-together.
