Rain. Rain. Go away. Come again another d…a….y. Sorry. Frustration just came over to most members before last Sunday’s round at Westview because of playing in wet conditions from the past few weeks. Be careful what you wish for. Lesson learned here was to never complain about the weather as we were granted good weather conditions last Sunday. Almost. It was so sticky hot and we feel pittance to those who walked the course. Most players must have chugged gallons of liquid refreshment during their round to stay focused & recharged playing in this kind of searing heat. Anyway, nice of Westview management to allocate a choice of small or large bucket of range balls with the green fee for all members who showed up – all twenty-eight of them. It had been a long time as far as we could remember since Westview bequeathed us with this little luxury as a matter of fact, since all times we played here last year.
ROUND: JC M. armed with a new handicap which was a product of poor showing at early stage, took advantage with a net score of 67. He beat Don D. by a stroke with Paolo B. & Jun P. closed by with net 70s. Nassau winners – JC M. who won the front tied with another player also seized overall lowest score. Don D. who declared himself of total hiatus for the month of June surprisingly showed up, snatched the back nine. A week before, Nassau winner at Royal Woodbine Levi M. felt he owed the boys rounds of drink because of the early closure of the clubhouse bar, linked with JC & Don in buying the members who stayed after the game deserving rounds of drink.
MONTH: Manny C. capping his round with a net of 71 did not give anybody a chance for monthly honours with a total of 210. Paolo B. together with Levi M. tied for second with best three net score of 215.
POY: After nine rounds completed, Manny C. with his excellent performance of late warned every one of good things to come. He caught up with previous leader Jimmy M. as they are tied atop the leader board with 673. A distant third is Ed I. with 685. Coming fourth and fifth respectively with total net scores of 691 & 702 are Seho O. and Jojo D.
SENIOR POY: Ah……..the newly born friendly anticipated competition for young onced. Exe N. with a total best net of three rounds of 232 together with Seho O. are tied for the top spot. Not so far behind is Mar DV tied for third place with another player at 236. Bong M. has taken a solo fifth with 238 while Rey P. took sixth place with a 240. With fourteen games to account for, it’s still a long way to go. Not too late for any senior who wish to join though your round will only count the day you register.
For those of you who likened to fire accurate shots, Bong M. announced to have the par 3 closest to the pin contest renewed again for next week’s round.
Congratulations to the winners and contenders!!
