2024: Indiv. Stableford -All Blues (14.2.24)


Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa

 

Our Captain had the great idea that everyone today should play off the blue tees, with handicaps adjusted accordingly, more strokes for the Ladies and less for the Men.

 

It seemed a good idea at the time, but only a few of the 22 players seemed to have had a good round, Marko being the only player with a score better than par.  Prizes today were for the best two Ladies and Men.  Brian Wakely missed out to Graham for second place, as Graham played a better back 9.

 

Congratulations to everyone on the winners’ board.

 

We are delighted to welcome two new members to our Society, Dónal Cregan from Ireland and François Viard from France, and hope they will have many enjoyable games with us.
