With 20 players on the day and some late changes, Peter needed his wits about him to ensure we had all completed our rounds in time for lunch at Rabastens, where most of us would be welcomed by our lovely wives and partners as well as the usual delicious meal and wine
A shotgun start at 8.30am saw us starting from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and even 5th thus everyone back in the clubhouse by 12.30.. A pretty impressive time considering.
Despite the weather forecasts we were spared the thunder storms, torrential rain and heavy winds, instead we welcomed a cool overcast day with low humidity and a gentle breeze. Pallane was in good shape, the fairways lush and the greens in pretty good shape too - although recently top dressed (You can't have everything!)
Winners of the numerous prizes on the day can be found under the 2018 RESULTS page, however the highlights are;
First Place = Clive Robinson with 39 points (Was playing off 16.8, now playing off 15.6)
Second Place = John Goodwin with 36 points (No handicap change)
Third Place = Steve Paterson with 35 (Sadly we can't cut him!)
Nearest the pins;
2nd = Robin (**Drawn) 4th = Jean Rene Vidaud 10th = Alain Jardel 16th = Noud (**Drawn)
Longest Drive = ** Reg Hole
* Note that with all major competitions we have a 1 prize per person rule.
** DRAWN means next nearest or drawn from selection
***The lunch is part of the day. Whilst you can still play, you cannot be in the competition & prizes without attending the lunch
We (The committee) hope that we'll see the same, if not a bigger, turnout for the next major in September The "Autumn Cup" but also hope to see many more of our regulars and guests on Tuesdays and Fridays @ the new summer tee off time of 8.30am (On the driving range by 8.15am)
Regards to all
