- Las Ramblas Golf Society Results for w/c 24.5.21
Breaking news! In a bid to blaze a trail for team Drakesmith in the semi-finals of this year’s Singles Match Play, John and Ellen came up just short, leaving the final to be battled out (as it was last year) between Mark Western and Paul Brown. In a reversal of fortunes from their previous meeting, congratulations go to Paul who stole the spoils this year by winning 3&2.
In other news, with 157 points it was Dave Pulling, Mike Brentnall, Yvonne Phipps and Nigel Price who were crowned winners in Monday’s ‘Yellow Peril plus 2’.
Moving on, there were no less than 40 players in the field for Wednesday’s Stableford.
It was Petina Murray who ‘thundered’ into first place with 38 points, whilst new ‘Boy George’ Hogg gets his first mention after claiming 2nd place with 37 after countback from Yvonne Phipps. Two ‘2’s today; Andy Martin (I think I should only mention it when he doesn’t get one!) and Benedicte Kruse.
Now most of us manage to lose one or two balls whilst navigating our way around the tricky terrain that encapsulates Las Ramblas, but Hendrick Oldenziel headlined this week by managing to pilot his trolley directly into a barranca! Probing further into this incident, our Rojales correspondent, John Shervell, aptly observed: ‘If you’re allowed 3 minutes to look for a ball; how long do you get to find a battery?!’
Before handing you back to the studio we can report that Bryan Neal and Andrea Martin won Friday’s Greensomes with a score of 61.8. John Drakesmith together with Mike Brentnall took silver with 63.0.
On a lighter note a courtroom artist was arrested today for an unknown reason, details are sketchy!
Pues hasta la semana que viene
