Well, it seems like business as usual, Tuesday 26th October was a typically sunny day with a moderate wind. We had a total of 23 playing on the day with 5 guests joining us for the event. Again, we had incredibly high scoring on the day from all our members, but couldn’t compete with the winner, who must have played his socks off that day!!!
As usual, the society organized nearest the pin competitions, but this time on the 4th and 12th par 3 holes, the trickier two holes of the four par 3’s, as well as a “2’s” competition which was rolled over from the last society day, now up to a cash prize of 82 euro and of course the usual 50 euro sweepstake for the winner.

Getting a shot back this week was Derek Mac, now playing off 22.

Guest winner this week was Chris Moody playing off a handicap of 18 with a score of 33 points, 17 on front 9, 16 on back 9.

Nearest the pin on the 4th was won by Simon Atherfold of Grapevine fame, and the 12th was won by Ted Hewlett of Casa Spice apartments. Gordon Clemens managed to pick the winner on the sweepstake so got his days golf for free! The 2’s competition wasn’t won again so is therefore a double rollover with an estimated prize fund of over 120 Euro.

Pete Mulholland I was asked by some clients of Talk of the Town, to set something nasty up for their friend, one of our guests, Pete Mulholland, as Pete had organised their holiday accommodation for them in the partly nudist complex of Infinity, everyone was under the impression that his friends were gay despite their constant denial!!! They were however quite looking forward to the nude barbeque on the Friday! As Pete was such a nice guy, I couldn’t do anything nasty to him as they had wanted, but somehow the trolley I’d lent him fell apart after just 8 holes and he had to carry the rest!! What goes around comes around I say! Pete did though have a bit of a nightmare on the 7th where you could say his 2nd shot from the ladies was unlikely to win him any awards!

2004 MATCH PLAY TROPHIES

A few rounds have passed on our Individual Matchplay and Plate trophy games. We are now reaching the semi-finals of the 2004 Plate trophy, things currently stand that Dave Hill will play Simon Atherfold in the semi’s, and either Pete Thomas or Dave Stevens will then play the winner of Andy Knapman versus Tony Fawcett.
The original competition is reaching its conclusion now with Alan Collier through to the final. Alan will face either Dennis or Jo McKernon. The final of both competitions will be held on 14th December, teeing off from 10.30. There will be a lot of spectators on the day as we are also holding our AGM in the afternoon. Everyone is welcome to come and watch the finals, which I’m sure will prove to be excellent matches. Further information is posted on the Leaderboard page to find the up to date state of play on all our competitions.

Our next society events are on Tuesday, 9th November & Sunday 12th October. Tee times are from 11.30 am a little later than usual. The Sunday event is a 4 ball betterball competition in teams of 2.
