CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 2

 

Club Championship, Round 2.

Not a care in the world

Another perfect day for golf - a steady 21° and not a cloud in the sky.

Birgit always brings her own sunshine

We were meant to play golf.

Don gets support from a convenient tree

Before that shot of Don's, he played one backwards from inside the hole in the tree! Tough game eh?

Stroke play.

Colin's visiting the Outer Limits

Always a nervous start.

All fun and games

Paul B manages a nine on the first hole

Paul shows Derek how to wear a hat

Before going on to crush the next half dozen.

Chips all round

Including a monster on the fourth to claim the longest drive

Oh dear. And the round was going so well...

Good to see James back with us again

We welcomed Wendy as a guest

And Tom playing off his first SOS handicap

This is a tricky one

Roland felt the pressure of playing in the first group, but finished with an amazing somersault off the net on the 18th to save what would have made the car park, but instead made the green.

He did propose that we made this the ‘Biblical Round’, ie the first shall be last and the last shall be first.

The committee disagreed.

Peter missed an absolute tap in on the 6th, by incomprehensively using the back of his curved putter instead of the flat.

Andrea's Afro - could catch on

So, to the novelties:

Nearest in 3 on the 9th, Derek, but outpointed by Paul B.

The ladies longest drive on the 15th, just Lynne.

Men’s longest drive on the 4th, Paul B again.

Greg's gardening

Nearest on the 6th - Paul B yet again.

Gets the hat trick

Now, we trust you have July 11th marked in your diaries - it is the much anticipated

Back to the golf

Birdies from Paul B on the 3rd,

Keith on the 4th,

and an EAGLE on the 10th from Lynne - congratulations.

Some solid scores this week, 

and a great round from Andrea.

Thanks to all our photographers this week - some great shots,


Next week, first round of the Match Play.

There are a few special rules.

One to remember is that you should let the player furthest from the pin play first, or you can be asked to play your shot again. (Annoying, if it was a good one).

Haven’t had to play in the rain much recently, but if the greens are flooded, here’s how to play your shot:
