2018: Team Game Orange Ball (28.11.)

Some of the lucky winners
Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 28 November 2018

The team game this Wednesday was Stableford with a difference.  It included an orange ball which had to be played consecutively by each member of the team and which scored double points. So the aim was to keep the orange ball in play and if one was lost, one further orange ball could be used.  The team who returned with one or both orange balls received 2 or 5 bonus points.
There were 9 teams in total. Six of them returned with two orange balls in tact, two teams returned with one ball and unfortunately one team lost both balls.
Today our Captain decided to award a bottle of wine not to the first three places but to mix it up a bit and give prizes to the first, fourth and sixth place, to the delight of some and dismay of others.
There were some magnificent individual scores without counting the doubles points.  8 players came in with par scores and better and Luc Sienaert topped them with a fantastic 44 points.
One of the tee-times were taken up by two Singles Knockout matches.  Jan Boultbee won against Santi Hung and Edi Rogers won against John Garnett.
