A cracking day at the Merchants, with the weather being kind. The greens were soft following yesterday's downpour, but the wind made sure we had a decent test.
For anyone not familiar with the course, Merchants is relatively short but very hilly course with a number of blind shots, so accuracy & a good short game are key.
As ever with forum events it is the people that make them so enjoyable. My thanks to my playing partners for their company & most of the banter! Delighted to finally play with DCB at Merchants. Kudos & respect to Hursty for travelling so far to join us. Great to catch up with old friends & introduce a couple new ones.
Group 1: Mrs DCB, Hursty (aka Kirsty), Scott & Zombie
Group 2: Adam, DCB, Kevmc & MvW
Scores stableford:
MvW - 40
Mrs DCB - 35
Adam - 33
Scott - 32
Kevmc - 32
Hursty - 30
Zombie - 28
Scoring suggests that familiarity with the course was a bit of an advantage - sorry guys you caught me on a good day! I can confirm that no glass based buildings were harmed. ;-D
DCB not included in the above as he was not playing the full 18 holes. He did provide highlight in our group, arms aloft after draining a long putt for his par on the 9th, his final hole.
Thanks again to the DCB's for organising today. Roll on the next meet.
