2017: Indiv. Stableford (24.5.)

Happy evening dinner-time at Mar Menor on the recent away trip
Sadly only 31 members from the 39 who originally signed up were able to play today. It was a beautiful day, warm and sunny with little wind and the overall scoring reflected these very favourable conditions. Over half of the members playing returned scores of 30 points or more and 11 players had over 32 points.
Edi Rogers who has recently been a regular in the winners circle topped the field today scoring 36 points with Luc Verhaegen coming second with his score of 35 points. Guy Letort, Jim Hurley and Brian Hines returned 34 points and had to be separated by their scores on the back nine. This was the same for the 6 players who scored 33 points. All very tight and very good scores.

The hidden holes competition was also very close. The holes selected were 1,9,10 and 18. Those members already winning prizes are not eligible for this award which allowed Kate Hurley to be the winner with 9 points scored.

There were 4 twos scored today. On hole 4 Brian Hines and on Hole 8 Michael Davison, Eddy Fagg and Jim Hurley.
