With Golfer of the Year starting to get very close we moved on to Droitwich and a visit to Gaudet Luce. 13 members tee’d up and one guest. The course was in nice condition but the tee boxes were very poor and virtually all of them were devoid of any grass at all.
Stu Gordon was an outside bet to record ‘back to back majors’ and posted an early 68 net. Neil Slater put paid to that though with a net 67. That didn’t stop Darren Fillingham, who has only played twice this season, recording his best score in the Society to date, of net 64. Bob Skorek saw his potential also by backing him to win, taking £15 as the only person to back him.
Nearest the pins went to Stu Gordon on the 6th, which was mightly close to a hole in one and Steve Astley on the 16th. That was Stu’s 4th nearest the pin and Steve’s 35th, which takes joint top of the all time leader board for ‘nearest the pins’.
Wooden Spoon went to Archie Shaw
Golfer of the Year is getting even tighter. Taking into account players best 8 from 11 the scoreboard is:-
Richard Marsden 48, Roger Mole 44, Neil Kinsey 39, Neil Slater 38, John Shaw 33 and Stu Gordon 31.
Next Fixture is Wharton Park on 20th September.
