2015: Indiv. Stableford (4.11.)



Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa
Having now recovered from last week’s Captains Day and Dinner, we were expecting to play today the November Monthly Medal but when we arrived to sign in with the Captain, we were informed that there was no Medal Play as the course was not in a suitable condition.  Most of the yellow tees were in a forward position near the red tees as the yellow tee boxes were being sanded.  Also the bunkers were damaged due to the recent heavy rainfall.  So we played a normal Individual Stableford competition.

As the sanding of the yellow tees will continue for another week, the Medal Competition is now scheduled for the 18th November.

There were some outstanding results in the top places.  However, this competition does not qualify for any handicap adjustment but will be taken into consideration for the Consistency Chart.

We had two guests playing today and the winner of the guest prize was Ricky with 34 points.

Summarising the results:

Nearest the pins:
Hole 4             John Garnett
Hole 8             Greta Biersteker
Hole 11           John Garnett
Hole 14           Dennis Pyman
                   
There were three twos today, on hole 4 from John Garnett and Chris van Bemmelen and on hole 14 from Dennis Pyman.  They receive the customary golf ball.
