Seniors Stableford

This week's Seniors event was a yellow-ball Stableford. A game where teams of three take turns to play a yellow ball (this week it was an orange one!?!?) which counts double points plus the best score on each hole from one other member of the team. Sounds simple enough, but there are some "cruel" rules, one of which says that if your yellow (or orange) ball goes out of bounds or is lost, it cannot be used any more. I say cruel because that is precisely what happened to our team. One of our team went OOB on the 3rd hole, so we were effectively playing a Bowmaker for the rest of the round. The expected wooden spoon was our prize on return to the clubhouse.

For those who managed to keep their ball in play ... the winners were Malcolm Passey, Richard Hook and Alan Owen with 119 points. One point behind in runners-up spot were Ray Tillen, Bob Evans and Linda Vale closely followed by Sam Whiting, Barrie Sloane and Lesley Cratchley.

Looking forward to playing a white ball this weekend!!!
