Travellers Rest Golf Group
There is no doubting who was the golfer of the week at the TRGG this past week, it was that man with the funny grip and I am not talking about the Freemasons. Neil Bramley holds the golf club with the reverse grip and it is fascinating to watch him swing and power the ball into the middle of another fairway. He did it so well this week he won two of the three competitions played.
Monday, Sept. 16, Crystal Bay – Stableford
On Monday we drove through rain laden skies to arrive at Crystal Bay to play the C and B courses and all of us expected to get a good soaking. Amazingly the rain abated and most if not all of us had an enjoyable round.
Neil Bramley – winner at Crystal Bay and Khao Kheow.
Neil Bramley held off the rest of the field and finished in the number one slot while Michael Maguire, a playing partner of mine, came racing through on the rails to snatch second place.
Young David Booth, nice haircut David, asked to be given a special mention for finishing in third place, edging out Fergus Brennan and me, Andy Rich, of the places on count back. So, well done David – really great effort getting the better of two poor old age pensioners! Next time pick on someone your own age.
1st Neil Bramley (9) 34pts
2nd Michael Maguire (18) 33pts
3rd David Booth (15) 32pts
Tuesday, Sept. 17, Greenwood – Stableford
It was off to Greenwood on Tuesday to play the C and A courses and it was that wily oriental gentleman Yaku Takasaka who played an inscrutable round of golf to take over number one in the charts.
Aussie Derek Thorogood, looking lean and mean, took second place and young David Booth made it into third place for the second day running, this time edging out equally young Neil Bramley on count back (glad you took my advice David on picking on someone of your own age).
1st Yaku Takasaka (12) 35pts
2nd Derek Thorogood (16) 34pts
3rd David Booth (15) 32pts
Thursday, Sept. 19, Phoenix – Stableford
Our usual Thursday venue at Phoenix was off the agenda this week so it was Khao Kheow A and B course that stepped into the breach.
Neil Bramley rounded off his excellent week with another win, beating ‘Father’ Ted Senior into second place, who in turn edged out Fergus Brennan into third but only after a count back. Poor old Fergus, losing out twice this week on count back.
1st Neil Bramley (9) 34pts
2nd Ted Senior (14) 33pts
3rd Fergus Brennan (13) 33pts
