2015: Three Best Results

Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 17 June 2015

Today we played a team game which consisted of the three best Stableford scores on each hole.  In addition, our Captain sponsored two extra prizes, for the best individual results men and women.  Was it that everyone was more relaxed about their game as only three scores counted or was it that after the hollow-tining and the recent rain the course was in excellent condition? Whichever reason, there were a good number of outstanding individual scores being achieved and the three players coming in with 38 points must have all fancied winning the individual prize, but Edi who is in remarkable form after his recent operation, spoiled the party by winning with 39 points.  Well done, Edi and commiseration to Richard, Luc and Graham!

Consequently, the team scores were also outstanding with the winning and second team scoring 10 and 8 points over par.  But with all that good scoring going on, why did nobody manage to get onto the green on hole 11?

Altough this was primarily a team game, all individual scores were recorded and therefore it qualified for handicap adjustment and Consistency Chart.
