Winning smiles on a sunny day |
Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 27 November
2019
On this Wednesday there were a variety of
competitions. There were two matches in
the quarter finals of the Doubles Knock-out competition. All other members played Singles Stableford
competing for the best 3 places instead of the normal 5 places, as there were
also 6 more prizes, based on best score in each group of 3 holes arranged
in order of difficulty. Many thanks to
Greta who printed out special scorecards with different colours for each group
of holes and organising this part of the competition.
Also
a thank you to Jan for organising the remainder of today’s competition
including the knock-out matches.
The
prizes of the “3-holes” competition were awarded to players who were not in the
three main prizes. This gave a chance of
a prize to players who played well in parts. Looking at the points, everyone
had at least one net birdie on one of the three holes.
Congratulations
to Pascale and Nick for coming second and third in the main competition and especially
to Gordon, our President, for a very good win and an excellent nearest the pin
on hole 4, just missing out on a hole in one.
