A comfortable twenty-three degrees Celsius at Glen Cedars last Sunday – not cool, not so hot just about right to twenty-one players who played that day under the gleaming sun. SGC got a reprieve from this golf course by teeing off half-an-hour earlier than booked as in our schedule. The last flight turned in their scores at around six thirty at night and it was noticeably a little bit dark already. As the saying goes, “I’ll see you in September when summer is gone”. We were still blessed with a warmer weather even with days getting shorter and hopefully with four games unaccounted for, this very same weather phenomenon would continue until our very last game.

Who was playing good last Sunday? Or should I say who were playing great that day? Yes, there were two people who signed in net score of 68. Sennix B. and Jojo D. both winning different Nassau corners, tied as well for the total score for the day’s prize. With Jojo grabbing the front nine, Sennix took care of the back nine. A consolation to another player, Joey C. who made up of only three players shooting in the high net sixties.

Par 3 contest: Manny C. who still got a scope attached to one of his irons for accuracy shot, got it close on the seventh hole. Mar DV. who was claiming if you could not beat the day’s low net score then win one of these closest to the pin contests – the fourteenth hole.

POY Race: A see saw battle is going on with the leaders for this POY race. With four people – Rey P., Ricky R., Dave N., & Jojo D. in a realistic contention for the coveted title, this is a real close and a tight race. Rey P. who was dislodged by Dave N. a week ago for the lead, is back again for the top honours this week. Rey now leads Ricky by three strokes. Dave drops down to third place four back, a stroke behind second place. Jojo standing by a mere stroke behind third for fourth place.

SPOY: Ricky R. maintains his lead by three strokes over Rey P. Far third is Bingoy P., a humongous nineteen strokes behind. Amazingly enough, four people – Sennix B., Ed I., & Joey C. tied in fourth place twenty-five strokes behind the leader. Ricky is going for his second SPOY title.

MIP: The most intriguing race. Why? A rarely multifaceted situation for improving players as qualifications for this contest are a bit complex. Only four players – Ricky R., Rey P., Bingoy P., & Dave N. qualified to make it to top five so far at this point. Possible border line players who could still make it are: Paolo B. (needs one more game) and Jojo D. (needs to shoot lower than his starting handicap index by a narrowest of margins).
