2016: Indiv. Stableford (28.12.)

INDIVIDUAL STABLEFORD

It was not the best day for the sun but for many players it was an excellent day for scoring. In fact we had six members who scored 36 points and above and our resident guest Ninolito won the guest prize with 30 points off his handicap of 1. Unfortunately, we only had sixteen members playing which meant that three individual prizes were awarded instead of our customary five. The captain has to keep our treasurer happy some times.

Roger who is still complaining of his many aches and pains and Yan must have been very pleased with their 40 points each and possibly at one time they were wondering which one of them was going to take first place. However, Mike soon put a stop to that when he came in with a magnificent 45 points off his handicap of 17. Rest assured when he next visits us his handicap will have been severely cut.

There was a very exciting moment for the team playing with Eddy Fagg when a bottle of champagne looked highly likely as his ball skirted the 8th hole and came to rest 2" from the flag. Well played Eddy. Please make sure you are more accurate next time!
