Scores for Saturday 15 October 2022

 

Well, as I write this report the weather is biblical in the Noah sense. It started raining at about 10:00 this morning and hasn't stopped since. I included a shot of the view from the main adults pool which I've not dipped a toe in as it's about a mile walk from our residence. Not that we've been slumming it you understand, we're just not prepared for today's weather and we have a private pool so why go all the way over there!

Anyway, I did keep half an eye on what was going on today as the intrepid early birds trundled round the golf course but I only had two thirds of the story as the second group seemed to be having technology issues, either that or some serious golf issues!! It turns out it was the latter.

Only one birdie today for Steve Reynolds (4) Well done Steve!

The average scoring today was below our usual with 28.73 stableford and 93.6 gross. 

Due to the incomplete picture it looked very much like Roger Small had it in the bag today but that was before the mighty Pete Laurence had his score posted. Yes, Pete completed a sterling round today with a gross score of 79 and stableford score of 38 points, bagging 1/5 of today's pars (that's 10 from 50.) Actually sterling isn't such a complement these days, how about splendid! Well done Pete. 

Roger Small did manage to hold on to second place with 35 points with 1/50th of today's pars. Well done Roger. 

Coenraad Fourie carried on where he left off at Wokefield and posted 21 points out to take the front 9, missing out on 2nd place by a couple of points. Well done Coenraad.

Jock Hunter stuttered a bit on the front 9 but posted a solid 18 to take the back 9. Well done Jock.

Looking forward to getting back out on the course next week, hopefully I can still remember how to play!

Have a great week gents.

Middle of the green today! Windy again today, but that wasn't a problem! A nice warm brisk breeze from the south made it seem like we were driving into the wind for the most part today but we seemed to cope ok with that, it was the greens that were the problem. Even the best puts today were coming up short or swerving from the hole. All of them spent more time in the air than on the ground just bobbling along.  13 players set out today but only 12 returned. Jock was lost somewhere along the way leaving a 2-ball to wait patiently behind our 4 ball. Steve and Martin both made the most of the extra time they had (see below) Average scores were not great: 99.25 average gross score and 26.25 average stableford score. Judging from what I saw the putting was the biggest contributor to extra shots.  Only 2 birdies today. Martin Lythgoe on 10 and Brian Geddes on 18. Well done both! Still the extra time that Steve Reynolds had as a result helped him refocus for his back 9 and he came in...

  Ball hunting was the game this week, at least for some of our number. The rough has thickened given the recent rain and sunshine combination and it's making it very hard to find balls that find their way in, not ideal for our standard of golf. This combined with the firming up of the course would make ideal conditions for our one and only metro-gnome and it looked like he was in the hunt on the front 9 until his groin gave out following the other side effect of good weather, gardening duty. I have a sign for you Paul, refer to it on Thursdays or Fridays.... Anyway rest up and we'll see you back to form in no time.  The weather this week was stunning, summer having followed us back from Menorca, thankfully the wind hasn't followed us! The course is in fantastic shape but they have let the greens grow out a bit making putting pace a bit tricky to judge. I'm sure this resulted in a few shots left out there this week, it did in our group.  Average scores this week reflect...

  Due to Brian moving in the next few weeks the newsletter team is looking for a person to assist with the production of this newsletter, do you have the skills required, a flair for an arty production, at least a grade C in English Language 'O' level or GCSE. Please make contact. No interview required and no remuneration provided, what more could you want? Anyway on to the golf.................... The day started out a bit chilly but turned into a beautiful day. The course was in fabulous condition with the bunkers that were in play in a good state. Lots of work going on around the course with a number of bunkers being worked on and the removal of the old winter green on the second, how many more will disappear I wonder?  A chip in for Andy Simpkin on the 6th to make a par even though it was a thinned shot, but I won't mention that. A monster 50ft putt for Jason on a hole that escapes my memory, told you I would forget by the time I got home Pete L. The average gross score...
