Summer golf feels a long time ago now. Today was quite chilly, the mud is starting to build up on the course and the ball doesn't carry anything like it did only a few weeks ago. Against that, the greens hold nicely if you can get some elevation on your ball.
The average score of just over 32 reflected the overall conditions but several players made light of it. Dave Smith, Dom and PBI all posted 40 points while Ali and Chris Manners both scored 38s. With cards going in today, a few handicaps will take a hit! The winners took home £13 each while a combined cut of 7 shots between them had the Boss purring. Ali and Chris scooped a rather paltry £2.50 each. But at least they didn't get cut! PBI's cut was poorly timed with his appearance in the final of the Hall Trophy coming up soon. Nice one Pete.
Front nine/back nine fivers went to Paul Berendt (21 points) and Crofty (18 points) respectively.
Leaderboards
Jeff is keeping his nose in front of Pablo in 2nd and Ali in 3rd on the red leaderboard, but the gap is narrowing! Everything to play for in the last few weeks that count towards the prizes.
Big news in blue - we have a new leader! Dom's stellar round combined with a rare blip from Steve Mummery sees Dom leap from 3rd to 1st place, whilst Peter Miller also made up ground on Steve. This one is going right to the wire!
