Las Ramblas Golf

Week ending June 22

Monday saw us compete in a good old’ Texas Scramble. Two teams managed to come in with a gross score of 68. By virtue of a higher handicap allowance, with a net 58.7, the winners were Joyce McClusky, AnneMarie Weisheit, Mike Brentnall and Lyndsay Forbes. With a net 60.1 our runners up were Ellen & John Drakesmith, Pete Dunn and Graham Murray.

There were some very good scores on Wednesday when it was time again for our individual stableford. John Shervell took the title with a very impressive 40 points. No fewer than three players finished the round on 38 points. On countback it was ITMA (yes, you have to be of a certain age to get it!) Graham Murray who racked up 22 of them on the back 9. Behind him came Ken Robertson and 4th slot went to Mike Mahoney.

It was a rare site indeed to see Tom Hardie using his pitching wedge to putt out on the 14th green today. He had left both (yes both!) his putters on the previous hole. Worthy of a mention was Joyce

McClusky’s shot on the third where her ball hit the pin and started coming back towards her before backspin took it into the hole.

A 2 ball better ball was the format for Friday. With 48 points, 26 of which came on the back nine, Paul Brown and Joyce McClusky were in the money. Paul obviously had a good day as he managed to come in second as well with John Dobson. Again with 48 points John missed out on countback by scoring 24 points on the back. Reg Akehurst, yet again, Last update: 30.04.2020 scored a 4 for 4 points on the 18th which edged him and Nick Campbell into third spot.
