On a day lovely sunny day our latest event ended up being a very close affair. It was a day where  a sloppy putt, chip or approach here and there was the difference in some 8 to places. Again no golfer broke par leaving the winning score one shot back at 35. UK ever present and committee member Dale G took top spot with a solid round which only saw one blob on the par 4 second. Dales putter was on fire taking full advantage of a couple of good recovery shots from difficult positions.

After that followed a tale of woe from many golfers. Securing second on count back was Craig W who was also in the opening 3 ball with Dale. His round also consisted of only one blob, but made up of an unprecedented 5 shots on 15 of the 18 holes for the lowest gross of the day by 3 shots at 86. Back in third place came Rick B who's 34 points seen two blobs but contained the most number of par's or better on the day of 8 (in a tie with Tommo and the Captain) Next came three golfers on 33 points who had mixed fortune. Tommo's recorded the best back nine of the day with 22 points to recover from a poor 11 at the turn, while Brian D slipped back slightly from a solid 18 at the turn and "Red hot Howard" having a blip of 1 point in four holes from the 4th to the 8th. After these came a myriad of 7 golfers all on 32 points, of which one was Steve W who's round contained two blobs and "A trousers Down" moment for slotting the ball on the ladies tee on the 200 yard par 3 17th (Picture left) One of the golfers off the pace was Nico who's up and down round of 25 consisted of 6 blobs with a slight recovery of two of the par 5's with par. On the 13th he managed to Wow his second 20 yards through the green (picture above) with a long chip/putt for eagle. Unfortunately he only managed par.

Another day to forget for a few golfers, with Division One's big hitter Bez recording his worst score for a year with 24. Committee man and mister ever present Andy W/Woody/Willow Whit could also only notch a mid twenties score. But managed some pride with collecting "Nearest the Pin in two" on the 7th. By all accounts his half hit shot collided into the bunker bounced up lipped the top rolled down the side and on to the putting surface. I am sure he will say its the end result that counts not how you get there. An event seems not to go by this season without mentioning John Howard, he is in a rich vain of formed and managed to claim the "Nearest the Pin" prize running it some 10 feet left of the pin.
