Our
last event of the 2011 season saw our closest finish for
some time with only 5 shot separating the top 14 places. It
was a beautiful November day, short sleeves, a peek of
sunshine, good fairways and cracking greens all made for a
great finish to the season. In
the clubhouse after, were tales of woe,
missing 2 footers, fluffed chips, bad tee shots, it was all
down to what might have been for many, but Krys Jilks was
the one who emerged triumphant. For the second event running
a division 3 golfer took the honors. His 39 points took it
on count back from Greg W who was fired up for the event,
with the potential of division 2 looming. Both golfers
played well but it was all down to the 18th, both players
pared the hole but it was stroke index 10 meaning Krys got
the extra shot for 4 points just one better than Greg with
3. Two shots back was 3 golfers on 1 under par. Steve W had
a strong finish with 3,2,3,2 to secure his place in
division one next year. Craig finished his season on a high,
with his second best score of the season, and the lowest
gross on the day (81) with only one blob on the 5th. The
other golfer on 37 points was committee man and ever present
Woody (Andy W) It was his best score of the season and earns
him a handicap cut down to 20. No blobs a sprinkling of pars
but too many single point score was the difference from top
spot.
Next came a clutch of four golfers all
on 36. Taking them all on count back was Captain Pete, who
must have thought a big score was on the cards after paring
the first 4 holes then birding the 5th for a cracking 15
points after 5 holes, and 1 under gross. But then a couple
of blobs on the trot soon brought him down to earth, his
only reward of the day (and year) was the most number of
pars/birdies on the day (10). Next came the societies lowest
handicapper Paul N, who just fell short of the division one
OOM but did post the equal lowest gross on the day 81. Then
next cam brother Gez who did enough to secure the Division
one OOM title. Then last but not least of the four was
Graham A, who is due for a big score. His last 3 rounds have
promised much, but on each occasion faded on the last 5
holes to still end up with par and below every time. Its
worth mentioning that Andy L played a cracking hole (his
best of the day) on the front nine but unfortunately half
way down towards the green played Cam's ball by mistake. So
by the letter of the law was given a two shot penalty.
