We had a good day for golf with a bit of a breeze but fair weather all round. Carthagena was in terrific condition so no excuses for poor play! Because we had so many playing, 76 turned up on the day, which was great, I did not quite allow for the teams on the ninth being able to get off before the guys from the first arrived there. This did create some hold ups and I apologise for that. I will try harder to get you all moving at a better pace next time. It didn't help when Mr Scoot and party started on the 1st at 12.30, before we had all got through, I will talk with Will about this for future timings.
The scoring was average and the Standard Scratch for the day was 69. This was a good target, as only 8 players equalled or bettered 69 within the Stableford scoring. At the top, Stephen Akrill made his appearance on the prize list, in fourth place, with 37 points. David Lincoln beat Stephen into third place on countback. In second place with a very steady 38 points was our low handicap man Phil White. These three gentlemen all lost something from their handicaps. However, it was Derek Weller, a guy we all thought would do it one day, actually did do it, in a big way. 44 points on the day, to win by 6 points was fabulous! Well done Derek, it was only 2.4 off your handicap, well deserved!!
