With no game to report for Monday due to heavy rain I thought I’d take the opportunity to give an update on this year’s Club Championship.
With five rounds having been completed (leaving just one more to play) the competition is fierce. Taking the best four scores so far into account Andy Martin leads the way in the men’s division with 152 points.
Snapping at his heels with 150 is Dave Pulling and Paul Brown is still in the chase with 143 points. In the ladies section Petina Murray is way out in front with 154 and is followed by Andrea Martin on 143. Despite a disappointing round five Yvonne Phipps sits in third place on 136 points.
Wednesday’s Stableford saw some very good scoring. Marja Oldenziel just edged out Lindsay Forbes on countback with 39 points. Ron Phipps claimed the bronze with 38. Alan Douglas picked up a tidy sum of euros as he was the only player to score a ‘2’.
Friday’s format was ‘Change Partners’. Winning with 86 points were Olga Douglas, Bryan Neal, John Shervell and John Dobson. Just one point behind them were Paul Brown, Dave Pulling, Mike Brentnall and AnneMarie Weisheit.
There’s plenty of drama to look forward to next week as we will be teeing up for this year’s Singles Matchplay Knockout Trophy.
This week’s quote comes from none other than Arnold Palmer who commented, ‘I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone’s golf game. It’s called an eraser’.
Pues hasta la semana que viene
