What a superb day to play golf last Sunday. Was it the water or was it the weather? Must be the weather. First of all, with four games going into the season we almost gave up on people joining us this year. Declining attendance was a real concern every time we teed off for the first four weeks. Bad weather conditions unfortunately augmented to the daunting thought. It made us to believe that a dwindling membership would take place this year because of mother nature. But lo and behold, a twenty-two-degree temperature with the sun smiling at us for the whole day welcomed twenty-seven players including three guests at Royal Woodbine golf course. Most of all, we were all surprised and jubilant to see Pat Deoca, Fred Halili and Exe Navarette joining us this year. Welcome back boys! With three more members in anticipation to return later on, it’s gotta be the weather. Not bad. Not bad at all.

From all the results at day end, it looked to be a fruitfully senior day. From the scent of BenGay cream rising up in the air, it was deemed to be a day for the ‘young onced’. Kidding aside, these seniors had not forgotten to tell everyone that they were still around swinging hard and effectively. Mar D. and Rene Q. both kayoed the field with a net score of 69 clipping Jojo D. by a stroke. Another senior, Bingoy P. captured fourth place a stroke behind third place.

Nassau contest: Who else but Mar D. grabbed the overall net score. Watch out for a new member of this golf course who is going to present us with good score the next time we play Royal Woodbine – Rey P. He convincingly won the front nine. Sssssh…… he did not want us to know that he became a member this year. Not to be outdone, Jojo D. took the back.

Monthly contest: This was one contest where consistency must persevere for a streak of five weeks. Ricky R. and Jojo D. showed that form of playing consistently, rewarded themselves by winning Month 1 with both amassing total best net three scores of 212. Mike M. stayed in third place a mere stroke behind.

Super Series: Ever wanted to catch a big fish? This was it. Again, who else could have done it? A hot string of good luck and cleverly play, got Mar D. going capturing the title. Jojo D., Bingoy P. and Ricky R. placed second, third and fourth respectively.

Sharpshooting contest: This might sound weird but both Dave N. & Manny C. landed their shots closest on the fourth hole, declared both shots equidistant to the pin. Huh? Rey P. added another win for his second of the day with his shot being closest on the seventh hole. Dave N. got his precise shot going on again on the tenth while nobody got closer than Joey C’s shot on the fourteenth. Manny C. who I heard got scope secretly attached to every club, got the fifteenth.

 

 

 

Congratulations to all winners.
