| Where is Marie-Jo? |
Venue: Bonalba
Golf & Spa, 15 November 2017
It was a cold morning with temperatures in single figures (which is
great for handicaps but not necessarily pleasant if we talk about the weather)
as we assembled to play this week’s competition of Individual Stableford. Today’s
results also qualified for the Campbell Lamont League. We had a nearly full house of 38 members and
one guest. We were happy to welcome back
Bob Crow, our sponsor of the balls awarded for “twos” and who promptly
announced his return by being on the Leader Board.
Although the temperatures rose as the morning progressed, the cold start
may have influenced the overall results which were relatively low. The maximum points scored were 35 and there
were a lot of scores of around 25 points.
It was the day when the “Ladies” excelled taking the first three places.
A toast to Kate, Greta and Marie-Jo. Well done, girls! Erik, our Belgian guest nearly had a hole-in-one
on the 11th and therefore was nearest the pin but according to
Society Rules, he was not eligible for the NP prize to the benefit of
Jean-Paul. He confirmed his good shot onto the green by putting it in for a
two.
Before prize giving, Greta reminded everyone concerned that it has now
become urgent to play their Singles Knock-out matches.
Also, the Captain announced that the Christmas Present Day Competition will
definitely now take place on 20th December with Lunch afterwards at
the Bonalba Golf Club Restaurant.
Summarising the results as follows:
The guest prize went to Erik who scored 31 points off
13 hcp. He has now applied to become a member of our Society.
