Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 30 October
2019
Today we played the first round of the Doubles
Knock-out Matchplay competition. Again,
for this competition we were playing off the regulation tees, except for holes
9 and 16 where we used the tees of the day as on these two holes the regulation
tees were not playable. Also, on the par three hole 14, the men played from the
front of the white tee box as the yellow tee is under maintenance. There were 5
matches in total. The match between Jean-Paul and Nick versus Eddy Fagg and
Marie-Jo was all square after 18 holes and in the end, Jean-Paul and Nick came
out the winner on the 19th hole. The second round of the Doubles will have to
be completed by November, the 27th.
There were 16 members and 3 guest who did not take
part in the knock-outs and again, like last week, they were playing non-qualifying
Individual Stableford and competed for the best three places and a guest prize. We welcomed back Rob Ritchie, who duly made his
mark on hole 4 with a birdie.
The weather was beautiful, so prize giving was on the back terrace of the Club. Thank you to Jan for organising today’s activities.
