There was a full complement of golfers stepping out onto the first tee at Tiverton Golf Club last week. And what a magnificent group they looked, dressed in their finery.
The 'better' three ball led off with Richard immediately losing his ball in the long grass. At the turn, scores were close with a 44 and two 46s posted. Meanwhile, bringing up the rear, Charlie and Mike were battling it out for bragging rights, both shooting 43. Given that the event was actually a stableford, it is probably more interesting to know that the point scores after nine holes were Charlie 21, Mike 20, Kevin and David with 16, Harry and Richard on 15, and Malcolm on 12.
The back nine saw Mike maintain his recent consistency with a score of 42 and 21 points, just beating Charlie's 43 and 19 points. Final scores were
Mike 41 (84, 5 pars and a birdie)
Charlie 40 (86, 6 pars and a birdie))
Harry 34 (87, 7 pars)
Kevin 34 (87, 8 pars)
Richard 30 (91, 6 pars)
David 29 (115, 1 par)
Malcolm 29 (98, 2 pars)
So, Mike now has his name on the trophy twice as Top Dog. Meanwhile, the handicap debate heats up .... to be saved for another posting at a later date.
As for prizes, Mike walked away with Bolly, the long drive and the trophy; Malcolm won two shirts and a pair of trousers; Richard the bunker trousers; and Harry the nearest the pin on the twelth. Congratulations to one and all.
