2nd game of the year yesterday, and we had 13 players - although Richard Emrich and Pete Steward had to put in their 3rd qualifying cards, so did not compete in the matchplay games. Results of the three other games are below (two played the "split 6" threeball game), and the current league leaders. Full table is available on request.
Another great social day on Thursday 28th, although organiser Dave Tweed was feeling somewhat delicate after self inflicted damage to his liver the previous day! There were 15 men and 11 ladies playing (Mel & Karen Huxtable had to withdraw).
Three of the four mens' games were extremely close, as you can see below - but new members for 2013, Stuart Walker and Chris Nickels beat current Captain Geoff Cox and 2012 Captain Steve Edwards by 4 & 3.
Just testing! Of course, Bill Withers greatest hit was "Lovely Day", and what a lovely day all of us had.
Many thanks to Rui and his team for allowing us to squeeze 12 tee times into 9 slots. It was really appreciated by the organisers that the men and lady members completed their round within four hours, resulting in no delays for ourselves - or the fee paying public.
The only title I could think of, relating to a "Fantastic Day" (a hit by the group Haircut 100 many years ago), which we all had - assisted indeed by the generosity of Stuart Deans - who supplied copious amounts of wine to all the Mens Matchplay participants after the game. Many thanks and happy returns Stuart, look forward to the "big one" on 14th November 2014!
12 men today, so three 4balls playing the "MMMsomes" game. No exciting tales to tell, apart from Kenny taking out his poor performance on his buggy - any nearly losing a wheel in the process (details on request from the man in question!).
Two really close games and one clear victory, with the Walker/Tweed duo "dovetailing" beautifully in the latter.
More great October golfing weather yesterday, and as it was the last Thursday of the month (being the 31st!), we are now a third of the way to finding out the 4th quarter league champion. League leader Chris Nickel only achieved 1 point by halfing his match, so the rest of us still have a chance.
A belated review of the games on Thursday 24th October. Just 9 of us, as the serious boys were Interleaguing, and some MMM regulars were away. So 3 threeballs, and we played the "split 6" matchplay game.
Charles, Wim and Don, managed to finish up with 36 points each - so, as "winners" they all achieved 2 league points each!
