Scores for Saturday 19 June 2021

Well lockdown continues until at least 19 July but at least we're able to play golf!

A dull overcast morning with a heavily watered course with light winds made for a pleasant morning of golf. 4 of our number were off CBLing so we were down to 12 starters off 3 "normal" tee times. This meant that for the first time in many months we all met on the patio for drinks and were able to announce the result. The results report therefore is more for those who couldn't make it on the day.

The scores were good today with an average of 30.58 stableford and 95.7 gross despite one of our number failing to make 20 points. In fact 9 out of 12 players were above 30 points today so well done to all.

Birdies today for Pete Laurence and Peter Creighton (9 and 17) and Duncan Miller (16) 

Our winner today with 35 points was Martin Deery. Martin had a steady 17 out and 18 in with only a few dropped points on the card. Well done Martin.

In second place yours truly with 34 points. I struggled on the back 9 for a while but got it together on the last 3 holes to ensure second place. Well done me.

Ever popular in the club-house, Andy Simpkin received a warm slow hand-clap for his front 9 performance lead by Martin Lythgoe who he'd beaten on countback. Well done Andy.

Last but by no means least Roger Small took the back 9 with 20 points. 

A special mention to John James this week for hanging on in there. He was extremely frustrated on the front 9 and was considering bailing but decided to stick it out and ground out 13 points on the back 9 with net par on 5 out of the 9 holes. Well done John, you'll carry the momentum into the next round.

Next week is the Captain's scramble so good luck all in that competition.
