Bromsgrove
Our
summer
event saw us return to Bromsgrove after 3 years, and it
proved well worth it. We managed to beat th
e weather with just a
couple of small showers just before and half way round. Things got
off to a fine start with a massive breakfast and a free basket of
range balls on the refurbished golf range. Winner on the day and
only one of two golfers to break par was Rick B. Going out first
with Woody in a two ball must have inspired him. A welcome return to
form and his best score of the year by far gave him a three under
par round of 39 stableford points. His blob free round 8 pars and
gross 81 was his best return to date. Only one shot behind was Steve
W. His round of 38 moved him to the top of division two and the
Grand Prix, through to the semi of the division two Autumn Knockout
and the semi of the Committee Shield. An altogether good day from
Steve and all but his only blob on the
15th another match day
victory would have been added to the days takings. Two shots back
was a clutch of four golfers who all finished on even par. Craig W
had a good return to form and posted the best gross of the day 80.
He could have got into the 70's and even troubled the top spot if
his two single points on the 17th and 18th had not materialized.
Mister consistent Paul H was not far away with only one blob in his
round on the stroke index one 5th. The vastly improving Leitchy
posted another par round that could have been so much better with
only two points in the last four holes. This now takes him four
shots clear in division three and through to the semi final of the
Autumn knockout. Bez was the other golfer to
score 36 his best score of the season to date in an all round good day
for him, taking both the nearest the pin
competitions. Like many others it could have been much better for
all but two points on the last three holes. The big hitter failing
to score on the very short and only par five. Dale G had a day to
forget with his worst score since April 2007, which has seen him
being knocked off top spot in the OOM and slip down a few of the
other seasonal comps. Andy G and Chris Shaw also had a day to forget
with below par performances on a day where accuracy was a key
component to delivering a competitive score.
