Vistabella -Thursday 26th April 2018
32 members and guests from Alfie’s GS travelled to Vistabella GC for second round of our Eclectic Cup on April 26th. After 2 days of heavy rain the course was in good condition and the greens as always quite quick with many players 3 putting on a lot of the greens.
The fairways were improving now that the warmer weather is here and it will not be long before the course is back to its very best. The presentation was held back at Alfie’s bar where a buffet was enjoyed by all the players, kindly donated by Alfie’s bar. A big thank you to Rose and Jim who provided our normal buffet back at the bar. We continued with the 2 categories “GOLD” & “SILVER”.
Our winner of the day in the silver division was Gary Armstrong with a great score of 36 stableford points playing off a handicap of 22. Gary was presented with the first prize golf vouchers and golf balls.
Second place went to Graham Lavery with 32 stableford points playing off 28.The Winner of the gold division was one of our sponsors Steve Bicks who had a score of 33 points playing off 12 and won golf vouchers and golf balls. Second place went to our current Captain Ian Ingledew who had 32 stableford points playing off 16 he has come second twice now so maybe he might be lucky next time out.
