Winter League week 5

Wednesday morning and I find myself writing a small article on a winter Stableford competition where the winner accumulates 48 single stableford points, like it’s the norm! My feeling go out to Steve Lennon who fell one shy of major winner Dave Allman who has suddenly hit form. Reports have suggested that Lennon fell victim of a naughty little Elf on the first green. His putt tracking right in the centre of the cup for it to fully disappear… then somehow reappear onto the surface of the green. Now if you fully understand the rules of golf, a ball is not in the hole until it is at rest and all of the ball is within the circumference of the hole.

Dave Allman (Wood Bowl winner), playing off 15 handicap negotiated his way around the course in 73 strokes. Some golf for a mid handicapper Dave, have you been having lessons? His single one pointer on the 12th hole stopped him from matching the 50 we had from Nigel Kippax only two weeks ago. Needless to say our H&C chairman Chris Akers has been extremely busy over the recent weeks, but surely now these handicaps will be taking their toll on the leaders.

Yet again at the top of the league progressing his lead to 8 points after just 5 weeks is Steve Moores. Maybe the handicapping system is favouring the lower handicaps, after he posted another 45 points only to come down 0.2. Steve still holds his 5 handicap but only just, of which he is planning to take full advantage of again this coming Sunday in week 6, weather permitting. Game on!

Many thanks to Tom Harrop at the Old Original at Scouthead for putting up with 18 staff members and the Captain for our annual Xmas party. Delicious steaks and plenty of alcohol made for a bad head Saturday morning.

All worth it and I’m already looking forward to next year!
