Team Aggregate Stableford

This year's Opening Cup broke with tradition. Tradionally the curtain raiser for the new season and well attended, this year's aggregate 3 ball stableford competition being played in mid-May felt wrong and this is an experiment that will not be repeated in future years.

Contrary to the fine weather of the last 6 weeks, this round was played in blustery and at sometimes wet weather.

I think that is fair to say that scores were mediocre, however the winning team of Anthony Morley, Majed Ghammachi and David Landau did well to accumulate a team score of 100 pts to win by 3 pts from Peter Mountain, Nigel Butler and Robert Hayers with Mike Maxwell, Garry Dowdle and Peter Wright 3rd. Karl Adkins had the best round of the day to win Category 1 with 37 pts while David Landau won category 2 on a CB from Garry Dowdle with 36 pts.

True to tradition, those not present foer the prize-giving forfeited their wine and the final act was to draw names out the hat, Dawood Jaffer, Anne Morley and Nicolas Duchateau receiving consolation for their day's effort.
