2019: Indiv. Stableford (20.2.)



Enjoying the sunshine

Prost !












Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa, 20 February 2019

Today’s competition was an Individual Stableford.  The pressure was somewhat off as it did not qualify for handicap purposes, but it did count towards the internal competitions like Consistency Chart and others.  This and the very pleasant weather seemed to put our members into a relaxed mood which seems to have been reflected in the overall results.  There were no really spectacular scores today.  Only one player scored to par and this was our nonagenarian Keith.  Very well played!  The remaining places on the winners’ list all scored 34 and had to be separated on countback.  From a total of 40 players, 24 players which were nearly two thirds, posted scores of less than 30 points.

Today we also competed for John and Jan’s Hidden Holes.  We can reveal that this time they had nominated all par 5’s.  There was a tie for a total of 9 points.  So everyone count up their scores!  The two winners will be announced at the monthly prize giving next week.

Our thanks goes to Brian Wakely, who was today in charge of making sure everything went smoothly before we teed off and afterwards.
