HOWLING WIND, HOWLAND WINS
Well, the wind was whistling when Darren Howland (13) teed off at Castletown Golf Club and he was in tune with the elements, so blew away the opposition. Howland peppered the pin for a tasty 24 points on the front nine following a wind assisted birdie on the 3rd and just two bogeys; on the Road Hole and battling the breeze on the Racecourse Hole. A mere 17 points proceeded as Howland was humbled by the 12th, but three pars and five bogeys completed a remarkable round for 41 stableford points.
Last week’s senior prize winner, Peter Miller (11), started bogey, double bogey before his new swing clicked into gear to produce ten pars and a belting birdie on the 10th. Even a double bogey on the 11th couldn’t subdue Miller who accumulated 20 of his 39 points on the back nine to secure second place on countback. Former Mount Murray captain, Dennis Moore (7), birdied the 3rd but, unluckily for him, his points were front nine loaded, so a resilient round with a dozen pars and five bogeys could only bring him third place.
Also on 39 points, the category one/two prize went to Steve Jeffers (3) whose luscious level par round included four birdies, two bogeys and a dastardly double bogey on the Road Hole. Last week’s second place finisher, Iain Quine (17), continued his fine run of form, fashioning 38 points to take the category three/four award. Andrew Marshall (21) recorded a rare four pointer three on the 2nd which set him up to take the senior’s prize with 38 points. It could have been more had he not mucked-up the 14th.
Thornton Associates are sponsoring this weekend’s competition which will be played off the blue tees. Good luck! It should be a true test now that the fairways have been tapered in and the rough is beginning to grow. The course is really looking great now and is a credit to the owner and our hardworking green-staff. I’ll be thinking of you, whilst I coach the South’s table tennis squad at the Manx Youth Games.
