Near pins, Mike Milland, Paul Smith, Hubert Stiefenhofer, & of course Phil Mashiter’s ace.
After a year of waiting the drought was finally broken today with Phil Mashiter getting the first Ace in over a year on the A6 hole at Greenwood, I believe Craig Dows got one early last year but not in a Bunker Boys competition, so it didn’t count. Let’s hope we don’t have to wait another year for the next one.
A decent field of twenty-nine for the second-last game of the month at Greenwood where we were allocated the A & B nines. As always the course was in good condition although the fairways were a bit damp in places, possibly due to overuse of the sprinkler system, they were also cut very tight so accuracy was paramount making contact with either fairway metals or irons. The bunkers possibly had a bit too much sand in them resulting in a number of fried eggs, the greens were good. As is regularly the case at Greenwood scoring was of a high standard with Mike Milland compiling an excellent score of forty-two points, his generous twenty handicap looks in jeopardy. Tony Berry who has been struggling of late put it all together today to take second place with thirty-nine points on countback from Paul Smith and Rob Folland who finished third and fourth respectively. Tony Robbins who is getting uncomfortably close to our maximum handicap of thirty took fifth with thirty-six again on countback from Derek Stevenson. All the near pins were taken, the highlight being Phil Mashiter’s ace, his first ever, the others went to Paul Smith, Hubert Stiefenhofer, and Mike Milland who is becoming a regular with near pins.
