Spring Showdown Started

Posted on: 10 November


 

After delays due to Covid Pandemic Restrictions the first week of the Spring Showdown has been played.  (Week one = Tuesday 2 to Sunday 7 November).   And wow what great scores have been recorded.

Each team has a squad of up to 10 players with the best five scores of any club competition during any day of the week eligible for the best five.  The other condition is; from the best five at least two scores have to be from men or from women. So only a maximum of three scores from one sex of the squad each week. 

The ladder after week one is given below and already the top is crowded with Birdie Hunters and Coins sharing the lead.  Some of the individual highlights of the first week were:

For women scores: Barbara Duke (Misfits) 43 points, Kim Morris (Birdie Hunters) 41 points = obviously found some birdies as this is a sub-par round for Kim.  Mandy McGrath (Slashers) and Di Wood (Shepp Gold) both 40 points.

For the men:  Bob Hunter (Bunkers) 43 points, Patrick Hannon (Holey Moley) 41 points. Joe De Ieso (Runners), Rod Higgins (Shepp Blue), Keith Jenkins (Hookers and Slicers), David Wilson (Coins) 40 points.

For 43 points and equal best score of the week Barbara and Bob deserve a GMGA biro. 

Good luck to all teams next week.  A few of the pundits are advocating that it will be consistent team scoring over the 10 weeks that will win “the chocolates”; not a flashy couple of weeks.
