All welcome at Palm Lake golf

A fine and mild day greeted us for our 9-hole Stableford round and the warmer weather brought more players out for the game. It also looks like they all came to play, as over half of the group equalled or bettered their handicap. The excellent condition of the course may have had some influence on this.

Steve Dorrell and Ken Hall both had 22 points, with Steve winning on a countback. Similarly, Alex Miltiadou and Terry Wilson both had 21 with Alex taking third on a countback.

You had to be good to win an NTP, as Bob Oddy was in the hole on the 10th as was Ken Hall on the 12th. It was only on the long 17th where Bob Oddy left his putt within a couple of feet to win again. We won’t tell anyone that he then missed his putt.

We plan to continue with one Stroke game per month, with the remainder being Stableford and an occasional novelty event thrown in, so why not come and join us on a Tuesday morning. Simply be at the course for a 730am tee time and we will fit you into one of our groups.
