Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 13.4.22
This Wednesday we played the first of two Ryder Cup style competitions. The two teams were the “Pinks” and the “Blues” competing in Doubles Match Play, where the better score of the pair counted to go up, down or all square against the other pair. Points awarded were 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.

The weather forecast had been for a lot of rain but we were somewhat lucky that, after quite a sunny morning, the rain only arrived towards the end of our rounds.
22 members and 3 guests took part and the final outcome of the competition was an incredible total draw, both in points and in holes won. This meant that the two Captains of the day, Greta and Doris, were faced with the conundrum of how to award the prizes, as there were not enough bottles for all the players. So it was decided that we had to make a draw for the mini bottles of cava. Sorry for the players who were left out.
To make the day even more enjoyable, Heather and Hazel provided us with some delicious home-made food at half-way house which was greatly appreciated.
The summary of today’s competition is as follows:
In view of the increased prizes for the main competition, there were no nearest the pins prizes.
We had two very close matches. The match between Ernst and Doris against Robert and Jean-Claude was decided on the 18 hole.
However, the most exciting match seemed to have been between Ana and Juud, one of our guests against against Richard and Bob. After having been 5 up at one stage, Richard and Bob managed to pull back and achieve a draw.
The results were:
