2014: Texas Scramble (13.8.)

Venue : Bonalba Golf &Spa, Wednesday, 13 August 2014

As the weather forecast was for one of the hottest days of the year, we were happy to hear that our Captain had decided to play a team game.  20 members had put their names down to play Texas Scramble.  The one restriction was that each player had to make four drives. The winning team came in with an exceptionally good score, five birdies and 13 pars.  A great team effort and a wise decision to let Pascale putt first as she sank some amazing putts.
It was good to see Guy who had come over from France and looking well after his recent illness.  He and his son were playing as guests today joining Luc, another guest from France.  Guy’s son William won the guest prize with 35 Stableford points.
We were also very happy to welcome Edi at the prize giving.  He is recovering very well indeed from his recent operation and hopes to be able to start playing golf again in about September/October.
