2023: Indiv. Stableford (20.12.)

Congratulations!
(Can you believe this December weather?!)

Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa

 

This being the last competition before Christmas, some members had already started their holidays or were busy preparing for it, so there were only 20 players taking part.

It was decided to play individual Stableford, but it was a non-qualifier for both, the Society competitions and Handicap adjustments.

 

After the initial low temperatures, the day turned out to be very pleasant and the layers soon came off to enable us to swing more freely.  However, scoring was a little low.  Only Santi managed to break par.  Congratulations to him and the other players on the winners’ board.

 

Nearest the pin also seemed to be more difficult today.  Two pins were not claimed.  The green on par-3 hole 4 was out of action. The pin was located on the fairway in front of the green without being surrounded by a temporary green.  So, nearest the pin on a green could have been a difficult decision.  However, Santi’s ball was close and, in the end, the decision was easy.

 

The summary of today’s competition is as follows:

Nearest the pin:

Hole 4    (Div.2)         Santi Hung    

Hole 8    (Div.2)        nobody

Hole 11  (Div.1)        nobody           

Hole 14.  (Div.1)       Michael Davison
