Due to the freak weather conditions over the weekend (and there I was basking in record temperatures back in the UK!) Friday’s Easter Egg competition was postponed until Monday. It took the form of a 2 ball better ball and winning with 44 points, were Nora Betts and John Drakesmith.
Second place, with 43, were Joyce McClusky and Olga Douglas. However, the runners up would have been Ron Phipps and Mike Mahony had they remembered to actually hand in their scorecard! Nearest the pin on the 6th was Bryan Neal and nearest in two on the par four 15th was Donna Campbell.
The finishing post is in sight now as on Wednesday we competed in round 5 (of 6) of our ‘Eclectic Joker Stableford’. Winner on the day and just beating Mike Chapman on countback, with 42 points, was Benedicte Kruse. Another good result for John Drakesmith this week as he grabbed third place with 41 points.
Five ‘2’s today (and making sure she remains at the top of the money list) Nora Betts was in there again. Phil Herrington, Lindsay Forbes, Andy McDonald and Terry Cullen made up the numbers.
Our quote this week is from an unknown author who remarked ‘Golf is a lot of walking, broken up by disappointment and bad arithmetic’.
No report for Friday again this week as the course is closed forcing a few of us to give Villamartin a visit.
Pues, hasta la semana que viene
