Copa de Escocia, Oliva Nova Golf, Tuesday, June 30

There was a good turnout for the first ‘Major’ of the year, the Copa de Escocia trophy, which was a medal competition so a bit of a challenge for everyone.

We had three guests today, Richard Pike, Russell Andrews and Peter Ketteringham, we hope they enjoyed the game and that we will see them again soon.

There was the welcome return of the ‘twos’ today, well for some of us anyway. There were two winners today, Michel Grin and John Snelling.

Well done guys.

As always, with a medal, it’s pretty tough going, especially in the hot weather and today we had a warm one. But we had some respectable scores and it was pretty close really, Susie Snelling finishing the overall winner, on countback, with a net 72, from the guy who is always in the winner’s circle,

Nigel Siddall. And the final three places were also all decided on countback after John Snelling, Brain Barden and Malcolm Wise all finished with nett 75. We can see Susie collecting the trophy from Captain Brain Barden and the rest of the winners.

Today’s winners:

1st Susie Snelling - net 72 2nd Nigel Siddall - net 72 3rd Fiona Sanky - net 74 4th John Snelling - net 75 5th Brian Barden - net 75 6th Malcolm Wise- net 75 Next week’s competition is yet to be announced, but if you would like to play, please contact penelopebarden@gmail.com
