Results for Fred Howe Winter Cup
With only twelve competitors in the running, on this second round of the Fred Howe Winter’s
Cup, consistency was going to be the key. The course had defiantly seen drier days! With freshly
sanded greens, casual water with almost every stroke, and an only somewhat helpful prefered lie rule.
Scoring was extremely difficult, with only three members carding better than 31 stableford
points! Further. Any second round card of 27+ earns double championship points.
A three-way tie for this years cup had to be separated by count back. Equalling with a
combined score of 65 were Ken Grist(34), Tony Mifsud(34), and David Rees(29). Unfortunately for Tony,
and David who both receive double points, and winning handicap adjustments, the Cup for the 2011 Fred
Howe Cup will depart with ken Grist. Well done to all three, especially ken, who according to the
player attendance report is leading the field for most rounds in the last twelve months with 46!
consistency over two trying rounds can be particularly difficult, but our minor placers managed
two adequate cards to secure valuable double points. Rodger Clarke(29) was a grateful second, while
Trevor Jakson(27) third could probably be left rueing his chances seeing how close he finished!
The double points awarded for this round has brought ahead a new leader in the club
championship, with David Rees now taking the tiniest of leads over Targe Mifsud. While Targe maintains
a similarly small hold on the seniors title. With the season rapidly approaching an end, all placings
are starting to count. As proven, the more you play, the more you score.
Ball hole this week went to Tony Mifsud, while the pidgons over at Ed’s house will be in for a special treat.
