Round 19

A muggy thirty degrees Celsius at Kingsforest golf course last Sunday. It was so sticky it felt your skin was rejecting any clothing that you had on. Better not said anything more and not going there after that statement. Anyway, an eventful day it was. ‘Blind Partner’  contest was on; an entry exemption to ‘Super Series’ for next week was at stake; plus, other contests were to be had as usual for twenty-four players who likely defied the heat and humidity.

So who got game? Playing like an old pro who tend not to forget that he still got what it takes, showed the field he could still play and how it was done just like the olden times. Ross B. began to feel that it was almost liked yesteryears when he played remarkably well liked last Sunday. By shooting the lowest net of 67, Ross rewarded himself of the day’s prize. Could it be the absence of side bets that propelled him the edge to play with enormous ease of mind? Mostly everyone doubted it. When you got it, you got it.

Blind partner contest: This contest that SGC held once a year considered by many as a different kind of beast itself. These twofold contest involved two things – first you needed to provide yourself a low scoring binge and second, find an equally low scoring partner whose selected randomly. Partially patterned to luck and skill would you say? Listed below were the winners for this contest with the lowest tandem of two-player scores:

1st Pat D. & Ross B. with a total score of 142

2nd Sennix B. & Jun P. with a total score of 148

3rd Jimmy M. & Bong M. with a total score of 153
