Travellers Rest Golf Group
In the week that threw up some early exits for some of the stars of Wimbledon tennis it was a case of déjà vu, or as the Americans say Groundhog Day, for the stars of the Travellers Rest Golf Group. Fergus Brennan started off this Monday in exactly the same way as he started off Monday the week before by winning a golf competition. On Tuesday and Thursday our resident lady golfer and pool table hustler must have felt she had won the lottery by taking first place on both days, beating the same golfer Jim McNeill into second place on both occasions. I bet Jim was feeling how unfair life can be at times.
Monday, June 24, Crystal Bay – Stableford
The scene for Fergus Brennan’s triumph on Monday was Crystal Bay (A and B courses). He seemed to have left his shanking nightmare at home for the second week running and managed to rack up an impressive 37pts on his way to the top of the pile. Jim Cooper did his best to catch him but had to settle for second on 36pts and Ted Senior took third spot on 35.
Mod Chaviraksa.
1st Fergus Brennan (13) 37pts
2nd Jim Cooper (16) 36pts
3rd Ted Senior (14) 35pts
Tuesday, June 26, Eastern Star – Stableford
On Tuesday it was on to Eastern Star and our own eastern star Mod Chaviraksa, who looks as though a stiff breeze will blow her off course, kept the wind at her back and sailed into first place on 32pts. Jim McNeill stalled a little but still managed to get the runners up berth on 30 and David Booth, who has the air of a nautical officer, was demoted to the rank of cabin boy and took third place on 28.
1st Mod Chaviraksa (12) 32pts
2nd Jim McNeill (16) 30pts
3rd David Booth (14) 28pts
Thursday it was off to Phoenix (Ocean and Lakes) and Mod Chaviraksa rose again from the ashes to fire her way to the winner’s podium, this time destroying the course as well as the opposition by storming to 39pts and fame and glory.
Jim McNeill’s challenge disappeared in a puff of smoke although he did put together an impressive 38pts. Roger Wilkinson was smoking when he found out he was only third on 37.
1st Mod Chaviraksa (12) 39pts
2nd Jim McNeill (16) 38pts
3rd Roger Wilkinson (12) 37pts
