Last round of golf, end of season. Where – Kingsforest golf course. Temp conditions – 24 degrees Celsius, sunny. Visions of winning or losing in diverse challenging competitions that came to reality or not, were all in the record books. SGC commends its members for another wonderful golf season. We have done well. Undeniably.<\/p>\n

Results were in, so who were the eventual winners?<\/p>\n

This member\u2019s golf r\u00e9sum\u00e9 was already filled with some remarkable accomplishments. Aforementioned rundown of his credentials as he was headed into the final day seeking his sixth, yes you read it right, sixth POY victory in 33 years. His last POY conquest came fourteen years ago in 2003. Joey Cruz who was giving it all to reinforce his chances of longevity competing and staying healthy, deservingly victorious winning this year’s three majors \u2013 POY (Player of the Year), SPOY (Senior Player of the year), and MIP (Most Improved Player). Winning these three majors in the same year was never done before by anyone. Did I tell you that he also moonlighted as president of SGC? Hard work paid off, did it not?<\/p>\n

Here was why Joey won these big three awards. While playing with him for the last five games, he showed us brilliant display of firing shots at all cylinders shooting the lights out of his fellow competitors. One by one the contenders frittered away their opportunities. He might not win a day prize or two but in his own driven controlled ways, his consistent play, refusal to make huge mistakes proved to be the one that left him ultimately the last man standing.<\/p>\n

Month 5, & Super Series 5 Contest: Playing exceptionally consistent for three rounds out of five, would reward you the Month 5 trophy for this contest. This was an impressive win by Bingoy Pe\u00f1a. Why? According to our previous records, nobody, just nobody yet had broken the record of breaking total net score for three collective rounds of 200. He did it in sparkling 198. To add to his hardware collection \u2013 this was what materialised when carding the lowest net score for the day \u2013 he seized the much-coveted Super Series 5 as well as the day\u2019s prize with a net score of 68. Not bad, huh?<\/p>\n

Grand Finals Champion: Tough conditions, tough last two golf courses, you could pick one guy to shoot the lowest aggregate net scores to save your life, I’d take this gritty unwavering member. After the final round, Manny Chea emerged from the shadows of the leading contenders to this contest and made a dramatic comeback to consolidate his win by combined final two Sundays net score of 145.<\/p>\n

Year’s Lowest Gross Champion: A category given every year to a player who cards the best gross scores for a season. Yes, gross scores. Its just like taking equity out of a golfer\u2019s capabilities to compete with higher caliber golfers because of the absence of correlated handicap to that individual. Manny Chea & Jimmy Manguerra alternatively showing dominance winning this category year after year. These two members are not demonstrating signs of slowing down for the coming years. It is the nine- time winner of this contest Jimmy M, who took the hardware this year out grossing the defending three-time winner Manny C. Why can\u2019t we rename this contest to their names?<\/p>\n

Lowest gross scores of the day: These two gentlemen provided the field with glittering performance that every player would like to emulate. By posting a round gross score of 77, players in their respective foursome were in awe to see an exhibition of very good routine like turn. Who else would do it but the power hitting Manny Chea and the smooth swinging Dave Nelson. Imposing.<\/p>\n

Day prize winners: As mentioned above, Bingoy Pe\u00f1a with his net score of 68 there was another player who posted the same net score to win this contest. Dave Nelson who posted an in-your-face even gross front nine score, could have taken the whole winning spot if not of a little struggle at the back nine. Still an amazing accomplishment.<\/p>\n
