Well, whatever the weather, some people made a fist of it while some seem to have made the other four letter word of it. Quite a wide range of scores were handed in but the front runners pretty much kept their heads down and there weren’t any major movements either up or down the table from last week.
In the end Richard had a comfortable win but had to gather his wits to make something of a comeback after a less than stellar front nine. Ben might have been distracted by having to deal with Targe in their Matchplay round and slipped from his leading position last week to share the second place honours with Targe and Pepsi. Pepsi might also be ruing a few holes that did not meet his usual high standards.
Oliver, Noodles and Damo filled the minor placings to gather the rest of the points on offer. We now have two Juniors at the head of the table after it having been dominated by Seniors so far this year. The peloton in the Seniors Championship is fairly tightly packed with nobody obviously making a breakout move. However there are still plenty of points to go so they are still anybody’s to win.
No report at this stage on the Nearest the Pin and ProPin but will report when the info comes to hand. In the handicap rounds, there were a total of ten birdies. However, in the Matchplay round between Stefan and Zimmer, Stef managed to rack up five in the first seven holes and six all up to defeat Zimmer 2 & 1. In another match completed this week, AndrewB defeated Bob 3 & 1 in a match that saw a close contest that eventually went dormie at the 16th. The other match between Targe and Ben resulted in victory for Targe 3 & 1 as well.
Still a few first round matches to go. Allan has withdrawn and RodW will take his place in the draw to play Jan.
Joe Demir joined us again and entered his second card in his move to reclaim his handicap and we look forward to seeing Joe in our regular comps very shortly.
