2017: Texas Scramble (22.11.)

A bunch of happy winners
Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 22 November 2017

Today we played Texas Scramble, a team game which is relatively relaxing compared to the individual competitions.  The only stress factor is that each player has to complete 4 drives, so tactics play an important part of which drive is selected on each hole.  Due to good housekeeping by our Captain, he was able to award prizes for 4 teams instead of the usual three prizes, so out of the 8 teams competing, there was a good chance of securing a prize.
The last of our tee-times was taken up by Chris and Neville who played their singles knock-out match and our two guests Caroline and Jonathan who played Individual Stableford. Chris “knocked-out” Neville and Jonathan won the guest prize.

As it was a very pleasant sunny day, the prize giving took place on the terrace of the Club House. Congratulations to all the winners!

Summarising the results as follows:
