Twos
There were six twos. One each for Tim Spencer, Paul MacDonald, Tim Whitehead, Jon
Paul Stanhope, George Maddison and Chih's guest Rob Tabron.
There would actually have been another two for Paul MacDonald (myself), but
unfortunately his playing partner did not have the strength to remove the flag,
before the ball dropped in the hole at the 4th. This is the second time that I
have suffered an issue with the flag stick in the Peter Murphy Trophy.
Fortunately this one only cost me two shots. In the previous incident some 20
years ago, the ball was knocked off the green for a two shot penalty, and it
took a further two shots to get down.
Because this was the last event of the season presentations were made to the
winners of season long events. The Plate Trophy has still to be decided.
The Order of Merit Winner.
