Money List Winner
Just got back in from a great day at the East Sussex national today. Aerospace charity day in aid of local childrens special need school and £40,000 was raised.
Had a great game with Snelly. We took on the other 2 in our group....Snelly off 3, me off 6, they were off 20 & 22 so we were giving away uber shots......... we knew it was going to be tough when we both birdied the Par 5 2nd......and lost the hole!!
Nip and tuck all the way until they pulled ahead 2 up with 5 to play.......got it back to all square with just the 18th to go,,,,they were both getting shots.......again..........so only needed a 4 or 5 to be sure of the win or half.....that is until supe Snelly chipped in for a 3 to win it...they both missed their par putts............great win.
Snelly managed 34 with 3 blobs....a great back 9 saving him.
I had another stormer with a 3 over gross and I was hoping to secure the lowest gross prize which is a lovely trophy and mega kudos........was leading it all the way to the last couple of groups, but a 1 H/C came in with 2 under........bummer!
My 39 points was good enough for 3rd place and I got a nice trophy and a pair of return flight tickets to the COSTA del SOL!!....I also won a pair of champagne flutes and some silver cufflinks for the best dressed golfer.......
Snelly won a trophy for most birdies.....an eagle & 2 birdies securing that one......( Snelly, I picked up your trophy and will give it to you at Blackmoor.)
Course was in great condition with nice true, fast greens..............
need to ge some sleep now as I'm playing in a board competition in the morning...a pairs 4BBB stableford....need my beauty sleep!
