2015: Texas Scramble (19.8.)

Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 19th August 2015

This Wednesday a team game was on the agenda.  Our Captain decided on Texas Scramble.  We had six teams and our guests played as part of them.  The first team out was a family affair.  They were the “Pros”, Dennis, his son Iain, the actual pro, and Dennis’ young grandson Thomas who, by the looks of it, might well step into his father’s footsteps one day.  Although they were not part of the main competition, Thomas collected a special prize for his team who came in with a gross of 64.
Congratulations to the amateur winning team for an excellent result of 60.4 net and also to Luc Verhaegen who has been in good form lately and showing it again this week by getting nearest the pin on both of the long par 3’s.
As this was a team competition, there is no change in the Consistency Chart.

Summarising the results:

Nearest the pins:
Hole 4             Edi Rogers
Hole 8             Jean-Paul Leroux
Hole 11           Luc Verhaegen
Hole 14           Luc Verhaegen
