Venue: Bonalba
Golf & Spa, 17 August 2016
Today’s competition was an Individual Stableford “Fun”
Game. Our Captain had asked us to
stipulate 4 holes for double points before we started our round. Because of the hot humid weather we had a
diminished field of players, there were 20 members and 4 guests and the guests
were competing among themselves for the best Stableford score which Joel won
with 28 points .
The prizes for the members were reduced to 3 because
of low numbers but in addition and in the spirit of today’s fun theme, Doris
sponsored two big juicy melons which were presented to the players in 4th
and 5th place.The competition was especially good fun for some players who were able to double their 3 and 4 point scores, giving them 6 or even 8 points on one hole, whilst the more unlucky ones had a potential “double blob”. But not all players relied on double points entirely to secure a prize. Both Pascale with 38 points and Angel with 37 points played better than par without counting the double points and their handicap will be adjusted accordingly as this round counted for reductions only. Edi was obviously one of the players who was not so lucky on the double points but will still be cut as his normal Stableford score was 37.
Richard and Guy were the lucky winners of the melons, Richard beating Doris on countback which was just as well. Many congratulations to all the winners and particularly to Pascale for back-to-back wins despite her considerable handicap reduction last week.
At prize giving the Captain reminded everyone of the
Away Trip to Las Colinas on 31 August and that members who are not coming to
Las Colinas will not be able to have a game at Bonalba Golf as the course will
be closed on that day due to an International Competition.
