Firstly this week we offer a very warm welcome to two new members of our society, Andy and Andrea Martin. I’m sure you’ll be seeing their names quite often in the future.
Fourteen pairs took part in Monday’s ‘2 ball better ball’. With 44 points it was Friedel Knebell and John Shervell who took the top spot on the winner’s rostrum. Standing just below them, with 43 points, were Trevor Pullyblank and Mike Chapman.
I awoke early on Wednesday and managed to convince myself it was actually a Tuesday (it comes to us all in the end you know!) Resplendent in my ‘final round’ navy blue and white (sound familiar?) it was a mad dash to get down to the 1st tee for the 6th and final round of this year’s Club Championship.
With the player’s best 4 cards to count, one good score could change everything! On the day it was Trevor Pullyblank who took the spoils with 40 points. Graham Murray was a close second with 39 (and beating me on countback with 37) it was Lindsay Forbes who took the bronze. Best finish of the day for the ladies went to AnneMarie Weisheit, again with 37 points. Two ‘2’s today which went to Mark Western and Graham Murray.
Lindsay’s final round score was enough to hang onto 1st place and with a total of 144 points be crowned this year’s champion. Myself and Trevor were hot on his heels with us both scoring a total of 141. After countback it was it was Trevor who got the nod to finish this year’s runner up.
In the ladies section Olga Douglas’s final round score of 36 saw her take the overall title with 139 points. Petina Murray fell at the last hurdle to take the runner’s up place with a total of 135 points and Joyce McClusky claimed 3rd with 132.
Aptly Trevor and myself, together with John Dobson and ‘Albert’, with a score of 86 points, made up the winning team in Friday’s ‘Change Partners’. Just one point behind us were Bryan Neal, Mike Chapman, Petina and once again ‘Albert’.
Pues hasta la semana que viene
