PSC golf from The Bunker Bar

Monday, Oct. 31, Green Valley – Stableford

The last game of the month at Green Valley would determine the golfer of the month for October.  Gordon Melia was in the lead but only by the narrowest of margins, Peter Habgood being his nearest rival.

Well, Gordon has returned to the UK for a week so he didn’t play today and Peter came in third, beating Sean Murphy and Reg Smart on a count back, which was just enough for him to pip Gordon at the post, well done Peter!

1st Mashi Kaneta (13) 40pts

Near Pins:  Reg Smart, Mashi, Phil Moore, Dave Ashman.

Wednesday, Nov. 2, Phoenix Mountain & Ocean – Stableford

Mashi Kaneta got in the frame again today but could only finish second to Sean Murphy who played out of his skin and came into the clubhouse with a magnificent 41 points to take the honours.  Sean won a couple of near pin prizes too, making it a nice profitable day for him.  Tony Robbins claimed third place a couple of points back.
