[Disclaimer: it has been a few days since this competition so fingers-crossed my memory stands up to the test…]
In the run up to Hallowe’en, New Ghouloway Golf club didn’t have the most promising of starts weather-wise for this week’s Winter League fixture:
Undaunted, eight of us marched off up and away (mainly to try to get some blood flowing to our numb extremities)…
As the sun burnt through, we reverted to the usual stunning views…
And the views from the 7th green never disappoint…
And on the flora front…down by the path to the 14th fairway from the tee…
Back to the golf and a tremendous approach shot…
Next time round the top on the 3rd (9th hole on the card), Chris hits a fabulous summer-length drive…almost over the hill…
Players in the other groups also racked up some fabulous scores:
- Elena bagged a 4 pointer at the 6th (comprising a great drive, a beautiful chip and a great putt, I believe?)
- Christine scored a tremendous 4 points at the 7th.
- The only other 4 pointers on the day were both by Erica – who whipped the 8th hole into submission twice with two 5’s there. Terrific!
Back to the clubhouse for cake of the week: Marmalade Cake
Testing a new recipe…it was well-received amongst the marmalade fans in the clubhouse!
Totting up the scores, we had some great totals…
1st Elena 29 points: who besides her 4, scored three 3’s and six 2’s. Great scores all the way round.
2nd Erica 28 points: who besides her two 4 pointers, scored a 3 and seven 2’s. Fab scores.
3rd Marena 28 points: two 3’s and ten(!) 2’s – very steady!
Well done everyone.
Nobody made it round blob-free this week. And there were no 2’s. I had a putt for one but didn’t even trouble the hole. The jackpot has rolled over again…
Next week – it’s medal time!
