The optimists won. In spite of the weatherman’s most determined insistence the rain stayed away, at least for the duration of our morning round.
The day’s Haggle was Stableford and all of those eligible recorded scores for Round’s 2 of both the Stableford Cup and the Putting Trophy.
A smaller group of 24 players showed up and we welcomed Alistair Lock as a new member of our team.
Both Front and Back 9’s found the going tough with no particular stand-out scores. The Front 9 had the additional and unexpected interruption to play on Fairway 5 while the new main access path Bridge was craned into place courtesy of one of McLeod Cranes big blue rigs.
There was much discussion on the correct procedure for negotiating an unannounced Fairway Disruption ie 'do we take a drop past the work site' and 'do we take a penalty'?? We decided that it wasn’t a good idea to try and pitch over the top of the crane! The other question; 'Is this fair to the back 9 players who weren’t affected'? Suffice to say we did our best, took the penalty free drop and no-one complained!!
The Haggle money went to:
Division 1:
Bob Duckworth 18
Ted Parker 17

Division 2:
