Winter League Week 14

Good Morning All

Well the weather took a bit of a turn for the worse on Sunday, as the conditions could have been better I guess, but well done all for braving the conditions and getting through it - You deserve a rest bite now and a few good dry weeks ahead in the final 7 weeks of the Season.

Our winners on Sunday were Dave McIntosh and Ed Jones (Who must be camera shy or on Interpols most wanted list, as I have no Photo to share, so those on 62 points get the Pride of place this week) with a Fine 61, which now puts them in contention for a Top 4 Finish, if not better - however will the shot loss cripple them over the closing weeks, only time will tell. Our runners up this week where 'Go easy on the shot Reduction' Spike and Charlie (Pictured above) pipping Border Patrol and Phil (Main Feature) on a Back 9 Count back. Spike and Charlie parred 15 - 18 whilst Border and Phil Bogied the same holes - and there lies the reason for losing out on Count Back - both pairs scored 62.

Credit to Dave gamble who recorded a Great 2 Under Gross score on the front 9 - with Slingers just Caddying and finally playing a small walk on roll on the back 9 - well played Proctor.

Another worthwhile mention to young Ollie for his 2 on the 15th - he is smashing it now off the Tee nearly as far as his old man - give it 12 Months and his old man will be playing his 2nd shot first, and another 12 months after that, Richie will be the higher handicap in the Richardson household, as Ollie carries on his Journey to Scratch and Richie his journey to 10.

Speaking of Families, all Knockout Semi Finals are now in place, and we will have a Guarantee of a Father and Son making it to the Knockout Final, as the Kellys take on the Richardsons in the First Match Play Sem1 and Jolley / Wilcock Play Jones / McIntosh in the other. You will find that your names have already been applied to the Sheet for the 1st February so you can play your Semi Finals. In the Best Card Semis we have another Father and Son also in a semi, who will play Jolley / Wilcock (Still on for the Treble) Whilst Battersby / Winstanley take on Hamer / Nash in the other semi Final. The very best of luck to all of you, and please note semis to be played on the 1st and both finals will be on the 8th.

Our League leaders last week, Passport 2 and Hair Flick, had a disastrous week this week, picking up 0 points and free falling down to 8th place, which just shows how close it is at the Top, and that you cant afford to have a bad week. As predicted though Waldorf and Statler (Pictured Below) have now taken their place on top of the Leaderboard with 86 Points 3 points in front of Sid and Woody, who just wont go away it seems, and are a further point in front of this weeks winners 'Concerned' and Dave McIntosh.........................what will the Next 7 weeks bring us?

This coming Sundays format will be Multiplier - I shall post the rules later this week, but any issues let me know.

Have a Great Week ahead
