The fantastic 4 - Terry, Stephen, Lindy and Robyn
It seems like everyone is getting as much mileage as they can out of the tour handicap system - a couple of players (Marshall and Stephen T.) think they have it all figured out...they know now if they don't come up with the top scores of the day after about 10 more rounds they could end up with a handicap of 55 and then attack the field! All I can say is good luck to them and we'll see...Today, once again, was a beautiful day for golf (25 degrees or so and very little wind), warm but pleasant. The Arabella Golf Course couldn't be more opposite to Pearl Valley. This course doesn't have the beautiful flower beds that Pearl Valley has or the mountains framing the golf course, but its atractiveness comes from its dramatic style, spectacular bunkering, funky holes and rough so tough (and most likely snake territory) that it has been made a hazard.
The teams competition for today was Reverse Irishfoursomes Stableford, where the best score out of 4 players counts on the par 5s, the best 2 on the par 4's and the best 3 on par 3's. The team that combined the best was Robyn, Paul, Terry and Lindy with 89 points! Well done guys! Lindy, also won the individual best score with 40 points on a count back over the 'Director of Golf', Fiona. So, after all the scores were entered into the fancy I-pad (I am only jeslous!)...the result for the individual ladder changed very little...Biv G. is still on top! Catch her if you can is the message!
Tomorrow will be a 'big day' with a very early start. We'll make our way to Fancourt but on the way we will stop and play Simola, one of the hidden gems in South African golf. Let's hope the weather continues to treat us kindly so we can continue to enjoy and taste the different flavours of South African golf.
