Bob St. Aubin kindly decided to sponsor the par threes for this Sunday’s bash at Green Valley and his generosity on the near pins was enjoyed by himself on Hole 5, though he did not claim his prize.  Peter Henshaw, Kevin Hamilton and Eddy Beilby were the other near pin winners.

Thirty nine points was the winning score on the day as Marcus Earp and Barry ‘the boot’ Copestake shared the match honours, both tied on that number and locked in mortal combat.  Marcus took the count back while Baz was in a trance.

Marcus and Barry were two shots clear of a man we don’t see enough of, John Dearden (hope I have spelt his surname correctly.)  The man who never misses the podium, Peter ‘the silver surfer’ Henshaw closed the flight with 34 points.

Monday, July 25, Greenwood A & C – Stableford

1st Marcus Earp (34) 47pts

2nd John Harrison (14) 41pts

3rd Robert Baird (33) 41pts

The task for today was a trip to the always popular Wolveridge and Thomson designed Greenwood.  The course was in reasonable nick considering the amount of rain we have had to deal with lately.

Well you did not have to wait long for the title guy’s story to emerge.  The big Virginian, Marcus Earp, was man of the match for his second win in as many games as he posted a fantastic 47 points; let’s hope Marcus can keep this up as his new handicap will demand it.

The trailing pair of John Harrison and Robert Baird, both with excellent scores of 41 points, were happy when they walked off the course but sad when the results were announced.  And it got rougher for Robert, as he lost out on the count back to John

Wednesday, July 27, Plutaluang N & W – Stableford

1st Marcus Earp (32) 45pts

2nd Ken Hole (17) 37pts

3rd Matt Cronin (17) 36pts

A small but high quality field took to the road to play the very popular Royal Navy Plutaluang course.  The layout was wet and the threat of rain was always there so it was a surprise to see such good scores on the day.

Marcus Earp made it a very profitable week with this his third win in as many games as he amassed an amazing 45 points to totally destroy the field, hitting the ball long and straight it was super golf.

Marcus was eight strokes clear of second placed Ken Hole while three players were knotted on solid even par rounds; Irishman Matt Cronin, Merle Humphreys and Peter ‘the silver surfer’ Henshaw and when the mud had settled it was Matt who got to stand on the podium while Merle and Peter were left at sea level and potless.

Friday, July 29, Parichat – Stableford

1st Peter Henshaw (25) 41pts

2nd Jim Elphick (24) 36pts

Parichat International Golf links was the challenge for the lads today and following a quick check-in we teed off about five minutes ahead of schedule in overcast but hot and humid conditions.  The course on the day was in fine shape with fast and firm greens and we managed to get round in about four and a half hours.

The winner on the day and man of the match was Peter ‘the silver surfer’ Henshaw who posted a splendid 41 points.  Peter was five strokes clear of his good friend and business partner Jimmy ‘two shots’ Elphick.
