Las Ramblas Golf Society Results for w/c 7.6.21

Joyce McClusky and Paul Brown took Monday’s 2 ball better ball with a resounding 49 points. Close, but not close enough, with 46 points it was myself and Ron Phipps just edging out Nigel Price and Mike Mahony on countback. This was despite Nigel scoring his first ever Eagle on the second!

Joyce’s run of form continued and with 42 points she must have felt she’d done enough to take this year’s President’s Day trophy on Wednesday. However, it was John Shervell (scoring 9 less than his handicap!) with a massive 45 points who won the title. 41 points saw Tom Hardie take bronze which in most societies would be a winning score.

Nearest the pins went to Friedel Knebel, Ron Luffman and Graham Murray. For the ladies Olga Douglas was nearest the pin in two on the 5th and for the men it was Mark Western closest in 3 on the par five 18th.

Friday’s 6x6x6 was won with 86 points by Andy Martin, Yvonne Phipps and a somewhat hungover John Drakesmith (Perhaps that’s the answer)? Overshadowing them, huge congratulations go out to Nora Betts who recorded her first ever hole in one on the difficult 12th hole. Thanks for the beers Pat and Nora!

Finally; what word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it? Short.

Pues hasta la semana que viene
