Tour Rookie
Today was the first of the 'West Midlands Mini Meets'.
It was held at my home course South Staffordshire Golf Club which is North of Wolverhampton.
The course itself was in excellent condition with the greens especially on top form.
Present was myself (Steve), Gazp (Gary), RGDave (Dave) and Hindmarshsl (Stefan).
We decided on a 4 ball better ball, full stapleford.
Myself off 9, Gary 18 taking on Dave 12 and Stefan 13.
The round was set from the very first tee shots when we all put our tee shots in A1 position right side of the fairway. They were all within 10ft of eachother in a square formation. The standard continued all the way around as we all played really well with lots of Par's had by all.
The company was fantastic, great banter and plenty of chat and humour from all.
We got to the turn and myself and Gary had a good score of 23 followed closely by Dave and Stefan on 21.
Thru 14 they had sneaked one infront with Dave and Stefan sharing the points between themselves.
At this point my partner took control. Gary proceeded to come in 15, 16, 17 and 18 with 3 points on each!!
I had come in the last 4 with 8 points as had Dave and Stefan between them but with my playing partner taking 12 points we ended up taking the victory by 44 points to 41.
It is worth pointing out Gary had 40 points on his own with 2 blobs!!!! We have a hat for him next time.
He kept quiet all the way round, not popping his head above the sand, hoping it wouldn't be noticed... Well you can't hide Gary! We spotted you!!
Usually South Staffs catch a lot of people out as it's the type of course that punishes anything that isn't on tue fairways but most of the time we all were in play and the standard was excellent.
Fantastic day overall and we hope to sort a West Mids Mini Meet as a regular thing, maybe every other month or something and hope others fancy joining us too.
Some pictures below of the day.
