Sunday, Sept. 30, Green Valley – Stableford
1st Donal McGuigan (17) 38pts
2nd Bob St Aubin (12) 38pts
3rd Joe McArdle (17) 36pts
2’s: Craig Hitchens, Stuart Brown and Donal McGuigan.
At a time when you would think the numbers should be going up, they are not this year and another small group set out for Green Valley today. While most of the course is in excellent condition, especially after all the rain we have had, a few of the greens are starting to deteriorate and badly need attention.
Although the group was small we still had some very good scores even though the course was wet and playing long. Two of our group had thirty eight points and here Donal McGuigan won out on a countback that went down to the last six holes and Bob St Aubin lost it and had to settle for second. Joe McArdle got the third and last place with thirty six points.
Tuesday, Oct. 2, Pattavia – Stableford
11 people out today on the now quicker trip to Pattavia. We arrived to find the car park nearly empty and were away 30 minutes early. The course was in great condition and the greens are quickly getting their speed back. The bunkers need some work to bet rid of the small stones.
Good scoring today in one group saw them win the first 3 places. Russell Gilroy (17) had an excellent 39 points, Joe McArdle (17) returned to form for 37 and in third was Gerry Hannan (12) with an even par 36. Ted Morris (19) filled the last podium place in fourth with 34 points. There were no ‘2’s today.
Thursday, Oct. 4, Burapha – Stableford
1st Gerry Hannan (12) 37pts
2nd Kevin Blake (9) 35pts
3rd Joe McArdle (17) 35pts
We played the unusual combination of the C and A courses here today at Burapha. Again because of all the rain lately it was carts on the paths only and the course was playing very long. However today we got round dry and still managed reasonable scores.
Gerry Hannon was the only one to break his handicap and he was the winner with thirty seven points. We then had three players with thirty five points and here Kevin Blake won the countback to come second, Joe McArdle was third and Russell Gilroy lost out of the prizes today. Once again we had no ‘2’s.
