Bird Hills hosted the normal post Christmas event, although with the weather being the way it was it was more akin to a mud bath!
Torrential rain and gale force winds welcomed 20 players to the first tee. Many mutterings of "this is crazy", "should have stayed at home", "if this doesn't stop I'm walking in after 9" were being muttered, but no one heard over the noise of the wind!
10 members were matched by 10 guests - welcome to all the guests and we hope some of you will join us again soon.
Unfortunately our roving reporter was not around today, we think he got blown off the christmas tree and hurt his back, so no course news this time.
To the results:
Only 1 person calmed the conditions to play to handicap, so 1st place and winner with 36 points is Frazer Webb. Well played Frazer, you must have topped every shot to keep it under the wind :-)
It was close for 2nd, with 5 players scoring 34 points, but the order after countback ended up Tony Boon (Guest) in 2nd, Dave Evendon (Guest) in 3rd, Mark Brogden (Guest) in 4th, Bryan Carter in 5th and Les Wheeler (guest) in 6th.
Skill prizes:
Nearest the Pin on the 15th: Les Wheeler (Guest)
Nearest the Pin in 2 on the 17th: Kevin Harris
Longest Drive on the 18th: Kevin Harris
Nearest the Pin in 3 on the 18th: Paul Donlevy
Team event:
Our usual 'Team Yellow Ball' competition took place in tandem with the Stableford individual. Like with the individual event, the team event was close and was decided on countback.
Winning Team: Bryan Carter, Tony Boon and Dave Wood with 66 Points.
2nd place Team: Frazer Webb, Paul Donlevy, Peter Carfare and John Waghorn also with 66 points.
Stand in roving reporter: Rudolph the wet nosed platypus!
