Round 12

Food for thought: Did you never think that every time SGC played Lionhead golf course, we could not help it but expected a wicked crescendo stunt before we teed off? It happened again last Sunday. Lionhead management according to them, had a mixed up with their scheduling. So instead of playing the Masters course we were transferred to play the other course, the Legend course. It was frustrating to twenty-three players plus one guest when we were told about the switch since we were prepared to play the Masters. No question, Legend course was a lot harder than the Masters but we were faced with a huge turn around we never expected – from bad to worse. If I still remembered correctly when we played here last year, we were relegated down to two-hour wait of our start time. The irony to it all, we have something to think about playing this course again next year, right members?

As anticipated playing this venue unexpectedly was a struggle for most as indicated by high scoring. So, who were the weekend winners?

This member who does not play regularly, has a knack of performing his best when conditions are not so ideal. Ron Wilson who won here four weeks ago, captured the day prize with an astonishingly higher net of 71 that nobody else could beat. As if he was saying, “You guys don’t want it, then I’ll take it.” There was no onslaught of net scoring in the high 60s this time. No one broke net 70, not surprisingly.

Nassau corners: Ron Wilson seized unwillingly the back nine and the total net, why of course?. JC Montilla won the lowest net at the front nine.

Closest to the pin: Hey now, when you’re hot, you’re hot. Ron Wilson took the fourth hole while nobody could get closer than Seho Oh’s shot at the seventeenth hole.

Major updates:

SPOY: Twelve games were in. This is the number required to win this contest and we have a new leader. Bingoy Peña leads Rey Plaza by three points. With thirteen more games to go, those who have six or less games to make the number (12), there is still huge chance of catching the leaders for sure. Never give up.

POY: A long way to go here but JC Montilla increased his lead from six points to seven points over Jimmy Manguerra. Mike Montilla remains in third place, twenty-three whopping points behind the leader while Jojo Dizon sits in fifth place seven points behind Mike. Fifteen games are the required magic number here folks.

Announcement: Please come to Carlise this Sunday before 1 PM. This is a shot gun start. The round will start without you if you come late.

There is someone among us needs a major surgery and will be off for almost three weeks to rest and recover. We pray for his successful recovery.
