Almost a Train Wreck Today: There were lost balls, lost clubs, missing members and poor Rahul Manchanda actually suffered a car wreck on the way to the course! He was fine, and I quote “sorry I had to drop out… rear ended on the way to Sunningdale… I am fine, just the hassle of reporting, insurance and appraisal took all morning”.  Glad to hear you are okay Rahul!

 

In spite of the car wreck, the inclement weather, a member withdrawing to play a scotch-two ball match, one DNF, we actually started the day with 51 golfers teeing it up.  Best showing so far this year!

 

Double “V” for Victory: I am running out of cliches for this week’s mister recipient!  He already had earned 12 pay points heading into today’s game and he continued to hold the hot hand. He had 3 birdies on the back nine garnering 17 quota points after the turn and ended with a total of 45 quota points on the day.  He shot a great score of 83 from a Y19 handicap.  To the “victor” go the spoils!  Put your “peace signs” up for Mr. Victor Vigna! Well played Big V.   

 

Monty Python: Playing the Sunningdale course is not a popular choice with our group.  Chris Kempling generally makes a point of booking that course.  Today, his playing partners, who both normally play white tees, moved up to the yellow tees and it payed dividends.  Coming in with 43 quota points, good for second place, Peter (Holy) Grail, shot a very nice 88 from a Y23 handicap.  Tis quite the “scratch” for Peter!

 

Fly Eagle Fly: Well, we had our first eagle of the year today.  Ironically, I picked that picture of the eagle, (observed we on hole number 17 with some sort of prey in it’s talons), to feature this gent’s accomplishment! Not only did he eagle hole #16, (West Course), but he followed that up with birdie on #17.  Accumulating 20 quota points on the back nine alone, “en-schuuring” his place on the podium, long John Schuurmans, shot an 81 today and had 42 quota points. Super duper John!

   

Monday Stats that may interest only me;

Lowest round of the day: Yea, eagle/birdie on back-to-back holes is tough to beat.  John Schuurmans score of 81 was sweet!

Top Bird Dog: Double V or rather triple B, three birdies for Victor Vigna today on a day when there were only 8 birdies.  Tom Wey, (#4 West), Larry Nielsen, (#14 West) and Sohan Samra, (#5 West) made birdies as well today but failed to turn them into pay points.  All other birdies are listed below.

Best Played Hole by one 4-Some: Easy pickings today as John Schuurmans’ eagle on #16, with pars from his playing partners Tom Wey, Steve Goodwin and Gord Good had -2 on that hole! Best result by a four-some this year.  That group combined for 3 birdies and an eagle today, wowzah!

 

All pay points earners are listed here.  A total of 13 golfers exceeded the 36-point threshold for a total of 45 pay points!
