2014: Team Game - Yellow Ball (29.10.)

The winning Teams
 Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 29 October 2014

Today’s competition was a team game. 34 members and guests took part in chasing the “yellow ball”.  Each team member in succesion was playing the “yellow ball” which awarded double Stableford points.  The three best scores on each hole counted but the yellow ball had to be included in the count even if no points were scored. The par of the competition was 144 and the winning team came very close to it with a magnificent 142 points and 11 points ahead of the second place. The Captain and his team obviously did not feel the pressure when addressing the yellow ball unlike some of us!
It is good to see Edi in the prizes and managing to play so well so soon after his recent life threatening operation.

There was no guest prize today as our guests played as part of the teams and as can be seen from the results did well for their teams.
