Scores for 21 May 2022

 An early early start for some of us early birds. 3 ball 07:32 tee time with a couple of 3 balls in front of us led to us experiencing some millionaires golf. A mixed bag in our group. Richard started out feeling quite negative with nothing going right for him. I was busy worrying about getting off home to pack and head off to Devon (from where I write this report) and Pete (Laurence) was busy being a lucky, lucky, low handicapper. 

Pete rode his luck on a number of holes including the 4th where he hit the trees on the right but still managed to carry on through to the rough at the top of the fairway and the eight where he found the centre of the two fairway bunkers off the tee. Pete looked very much like he'd go on to make a good score with a solid 18 out but the wheels came off a bit on the back 9 as amen corner took it's toll. 

Only two birdies this week. Paul Gardner (7) and Steve Brewerton (9) Well done gents. 

Well our winner today carries on a purple patch indeed. He joined me in the week to play as a guest at Sandy Lodge to take the NTP and the guest prize in the morning and a share of the team prize in the afternoon. Of course he had lots to talk about as he discussed all aspects of himself by the two fellow LMEGA members who accompanied us across the two rounds. Yes, Andy won again with 34 points, no mean feat given the challenging pin positions and the rather had fairways and lengthening rough. Well done Andy!

Our Metro-gnome was back in contention and took second place with a solid 33 points. Well done Paul!

The front 9 was taken by lucky Pete with 18 points. Well done Pete, shame about the back 9!

Roger Gibbs took the back 9 with 16 points. Well done Roger.
