2015: Indiv. Stableford (12.8.)

Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 12th August 2015

The “hardy” of us turned up this morning to play Individual Stableford.  We had hoped for a good thunderstorm to clear the air but instead we just had a few minutes of heavy rain the night before.  So we soldiered on in weather conditons that resembled a sauna.  There seemed to have been a big gap before the last two groups came in.   Did they have a cold shower between holes? Whatever their secret ingredient was, four out of the first five winners came from those two groups.  Special congratulations go to Edi who has been in remarkable form since his operation.

We welcomed one guest today, Charly, a friend of the Leroux family.

Summarising the results:

Nearest the pins:
Hole 4             Chris van Bemmelen
