2014: Indiv. Stableford (28.5.)


Venue : Bonalba Golf & Spa, Wednesday, 28 May 2014.
Today’s competition was Individual Stableford.  It was a day where a lot of players came in with very good results.  Out of a total of 23 players, 17 had 30 points or more.  6 players had 35 points, 3 of which made it into the prizes on account of the back 9 results. Congratulations go to Sandra for a very good win.  She has been playing well over the past few weeks, so this did not come as a surprise and it has earned her a well deserved cut in her handicap.

There was also one doubles knockout match being played.  Michael Davison and Gordon Burton beat John Garnett and Doris Shearman-Earp 3 and 2.

The Captain ended the prize giving with some sad new when he announced that Angel’s wife Mila had passed away on Monday, 26 May.  Our thoughts and sympathy are with Angel and his family.

We had three guests playing with us today and Marie Jose from France won the guest prize with 33 points, playing of 23 handicap.

Nearest the pins:
Hole  8           Dennis Pyman
Hole 11          Rob Ritchie
Hole 14          Brian Hines

There were also 2 twos today from John Garnett and Santi Hung who each receive the customary golf ball.
