Mae Jo: Tuesday 15 October 2013

Stuart & Jack, Frank & Tom, Joop & Harry

             It appears that the rainy season is over now and the cool season is approaching rapidly – we enjoyed beautiful weather under sunshine with a light breeze. We had a good turnout with 22 members in a 2-person scramble format, while Iain Craig, his son William, and Lennart Larsson played with us outside the competition.            The format called for at least 6 drives from each player followed by both players hitting the remaining shots, selecting the best shot for the team; handicaps were 25% of the combined individual handicaps for each 2-person team.

            We had a tie for third place at net 68 between Craig Morris &Yung Beece and Jack Cooper & Stuart Macfarlane, won by the latter team on a countback. The Dutch team of Harry Nieuwland and Joop Schillemans had a good day, coming in at 65 net to take second place. The big winners were Frank Schwarz and Tom Berger with a net 64 on the day’s low gross score of 70 – great teamwork!        Thanks to everyone for coming out to compete in our first 2-person scramble, which was enjoyed by all our members.
        Please remember to notify Frank or Jim of your teams for next Tuesday’s 2-person 6-6-6 competition: 6 holes alternate shots, 6 holes best ball, and 6 holes scramble on 22 October.
