Hail the D.O.G.S.!!!!!
After last week's rain affected round we were all hoping to have good weather this week; and we did. A glorious afternoon - not too hot and a pleasant breeze welcomed the 29 players who made the journey up the hill for our fourth round in this Eclectic Series. Good to see Matt Heagney and David Huang back with us and a big welcome to newcomer Laurent De Greef.
So, due to a big tournament on the course in the morning, the starters gave us a semi shotgun at their prescribed time. With the good conditions everyone finished in good time to enjoy the early evening in the club house. This week also saw the first roll-out of the new look myGolf2u app - v5. Although a few problems were encountered and some very useful feedback, it seemed to go well. All of the issues and suggestions have been fed back to the developers and you should see further improvements before next week. The most obvious was the missing Eclectic update on the app - this has now been resolved. The other is the handicap update following the round - this will be resolved during the week.
To the play: Well the only lady playing this week managed to take home one of the Nearest to the Pin prizes - well done Shinta Sari. Roger Finnie got the other one as well as one of the Drive & Pitch honours. Nobody managed to take the other Drive & Pitch. The low handicap guys, Anirudh and Chris Anderson took the Longest Drive prizes with a couple of pretty impressive shots! Chris Anderson also had his flat stick working on these challenging greens becoming this week's Putting Champion.
It has been a while since we've seen Matt Heagney and it was his first time to play the course - well it sadly showed as he went home with the Booby Prize. Paul Barnett had a tough day even though his game has been improving lately - taking the Most Exercise Trophy with a fairly respectable score is nothing to be ashamed of - most winners of this trophy shoot considerably more!
Our usual winner of the Low Gross prize seemed to have a bad day opening the way for Roger Finnie to take the honour this week - albeit on a count back! Jens Roestel clearly likes the challenge of this course but he had to settle for the Runner Up spot making way for Naresh Krishnan to claim his first Little Dog and crowned this week's Champion.
A big congratulations to all our winners this week!
With 4 rounds complete the top of the Eclectic is starting to take shape with a lot of movement going on as usual. Akhil Aggarwal is holding on to the lead he took on the first round but others are catching up. Fernando has made some good improvements to jump into second place. There's 4.1 points between the top 3 which seems like a lot, but we've seen gaps like that narrowed in the closing couple of rounds. You can see the full results here.
Next week, we go back to the 11:28am start off holes 1 and 10 so please make sure you get to the course in good time for the early start.
Please sign up early as usual and if you have a group you would like to play with let John (Rod is away this week) know your preferred playing partners and make sure you have confirmed that your preferred playing partners are their preferred playing partners!
