Perfect conditions continue at the Mecca of Golf. An ever evolving course, combined with ideal local rules. Preferred Lies!!! May they never leave. This Saturday we saw the in the form members stake their claims for this years championship. Barring our well deserved winner Richard Hall(40), all points earners were in the top nine on the Championship table! It’s cracking up to be a fantastic race to trophy.
Richard Hall’s fine form in recent weeks has finally paid dividends, shooting a very respectable 80 for 40 points. After third, and second finishes in the fortnight prior it was only ever a matter of time before the eight points were his. The win takes Richard to 22 championship points, and defiantly still in the hunt. Look out leaders. Keep up the form Richard.
Second place this week went to kAzim Akdag, albeit with a huge handicap deduction recently he is still managing to play to par or better. kAzim’s goal of becoming a single figure golfer was almost realised with his 38 point round on the weekend. Leaving him perilously close, now to play of 9.5. Being last months Medal winner, he stands a good chance to succeed this week.
Have to feel a little sorry for David Rees(37), whose 72 off the stick only earns third place. Great golf David, unfortunately the handicap becomes even tighter. Oliver Gross(36), Andrew Pepsicola(33), and Mo Sabih(33) made up the remaining point winners for the week, putting a new edge on our leaderboard. Well played gentleman.
Some people seem to have all the luck.. But in Stephen O’Sullivan’s case, it appears the more you play the luckier he becomes.
This happy occasion was after an Eagle on the 17th. Looking for a tee shot that was first assumed long, his ball was found inside the fence. Sos took his trusty lob wedge, and as expected claimed the nest(hope they were the Steel Eagles). Congratulations mate, rare achievement, and should be celebrated.
Quarter final Match play results:
Bennanan Akdag def Tony Mifsud 2 up
Oliver Gross def Craig Sharp 4 & 3
Quarter finals need to be played by 30 July, but given a two week Major this month and a Medal carefull scheduling is in order. Well done to Ben, and Oliver progressing into the semi finals.
Ball hole was eaten up this week, with a pearler from Craig Sharp, while Chris Priems was loveing the extra coin for the weekend.
