Its
been coming for some time and today was the day. Lets set
the scene, it was a lovely sunny October day 11 golfers
broke par, 3 equaled it and there was only 4 scores in the
twenties. But one golfer hit the magical number and has
recorded the society highest total ever for 18 holes. Chris
Shaw weighed in with a massive 51 points, some 7 shots ahead
of second place, his reward for
this impressive score was a six shot cut in his handicap.
Back in second with a 8 under par round was committee man
Dale who like Chris was going to post a big score sometime
soon. They will both have the work cut out over the next
year to maintain their new lowest ever handicaps. Bez and
Jim where just a few shots back on 41. Bez weighed in with
10 pars and two birdie for his best round of the season and
exactly match last October at Brampton Heath. Jim also
notched his best score of the season also made from 10 pars
The other golfer to hit the 40 point barrier was Nico who
like the other guys has been threatening to post a big
score. His score of 40 still contained two blobs but was out
weighed with four, 4 point scores. Rick had a good round
notching 3 under par, to be fair leaving 3 or 4 shots out
there. This now takes him down to 13.8 another step closer
to his club handicap and almost securing hi place in
division one next year. 2 under par saw the societies lowest
handicapper Paul N slide into being the first WGGC golfer to
get a single figure handicap (unfortunately at the moment
its only his exact (9.8) but I am sure it wont be long
before his playing handicap follows. Also on 2 under and
maintaining his superb season was John H. This score has
probably now secured the Division 2 OOM and the prestigious
Grand Prix
(shows
mister consistent) The only other golfer was Graham A who
notched a 1 under par, most people would have been happy
with that but Graham was rather dejected in the club house
after as he blobbed the last two. This proved to be very
costly as him and his partner where knocked out the semi
final of the pairs by a single point. Gez continued his tour
form by taking both nearest the pins (A slight relief for
the captain, as he was in prime spot on the second hole
until Gez turned up in the last four ball. A relief you say,
yes the tee shot 13 feet from the pin was followed with a 4
putt. If this was not embarrassing enough, there was another
one some 6 holes later, these sandwiched two 3 putt holes.
(Well that's my excuse for finishing in the bottom 4)
