Royal Lakeside is a walking course, quite flat, well grassed, and with ample kiosk stops along the way. Thunder, lightning and heavy rain had 4 of our groups becoming very close at one of the kiosks. This coziness lasted for about 15 minutes, before one group decided to take their chances and continue. A good decision, as the rain eased and we all finished reasonably dry.
22 golfers made the trip, so we had two fights, 4 near pins and “best nines.” Derek Phillips topped the scoring, and won B flight with a fine 38 points. He has been in the placings lately, and broke through today and got to wear the Green Jacket. Mike Wilsher plays golf occasionally, and was a surprise packet, taking second spot with 37 points, while visitor Dennis Eagar grabbed third with his 35.
In the A Flight, it was Maurice Roberts firing up for a big 37 points to nudge out Steve Truelove on a close count-back. Steve’s good buddy Gerd Reidler was right there on 36 points to slip into third.
Near pins went to Colin Service, Steve Truelove, Gerd Riedler, and Greg Gawron.
Best nines for non-winners came from John Pierrel (20pts front) and Dave Le Hane (18pts back).
American visitor Bill Copeland was on his finale before returning to the USA but today wasn’t one of his best days on the course and he ended up with the “wig” on his head.
