| The Winning Teams |
Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 20th July 2016
This was the last stint organised by the surrogate
Captain Doris as Jan is returning from the UK and is resuming her Captaincy
next Wednesday, 27 July. So please
remember to address any tee-time requests to her after today. Gordon, our Vice-Captain has also returned
from his holidays in Canada, so he is back to organising the Monday games.
Our competition today was a Texas Scramble. Because of attendance numbers, we had three-
and four-ball teams and consequently had one prize for each team format. Each
player had to make 3 drives or 4 drives respectively. The playing handicap for the 4-ball team was
10% of their combined handicaps and 15% for the 3-ball team. The winners of the 3-ball team where nearly 10
shots ahead of the second place. The difference between winner and second place
of the 4-ball teams was much closer.
There was only 0.1 dividing first and second place to the disappointment
of Eddie, Graham, Pierre and Doris and the delight of Jeff, John and the family
Leroux. Congratulations to both winning
teams.
As usual there were 4 prizes for nearest the pin but
holes 4 and 14 were reserved for the higher handicap players only. Unfortunately, neither of these two holes
could be allocated as on hole 14 nobody reached the green and on hole 4
somebody did reach the green but was not eligible! So these two prizes were raffled off along
with our weekly raffle.
Before prize giving, the Vice-Captain directed some
kind words of thanks to Brian and Doris who were holding the fort on Mondays
and Wednesdays and presented them each with a bottle of wine. Thank you Gordon,
your gesture was very much appreciated.
