OCTOBER 2014 UPDATE

Monday October 27^th 2014

·         Welcome back Dave Tobias – returns with a joint winning 18 points plus a nearest the pin! A clear case of absence makes the heart grow fonder – how often is that the truth in golf!

·         Daniel Waterhouse sporting a new racy haircut shaved shots off his game with 18 points as joint leader on the night

·         Andrew Smolak started birdie EAGLE holing his 2^nd on the tough 11^th. This serious eclectic move has put him less than a shot behind Filip Ranebo in eclectic 8 – he also won the gross with a 37 AND he has achieved an EGF handicap of +.4 – an outstanding achievement.

·         Filip Ranebo shaved a further shot to take the new eclectic record down to 60 – 2 weeks left to make the unbelievable 59!

·         RICHARD AYBAR beat OB Sealey and collected the winning trophy (see attached photo) – great trophy Stephen Rutter!!!!

·         Peter Scherer also made a positive comeback with 17 points alongside Pedro Kafie

·         Kent Gray got nearest the pin on the 12^th hole

There is as always an exciting finale set up for Eclectic 8 – Filip ahead by a fraction over Andrew Smolak with Simon, Kristi, OB and Richard Aybar all within reach of the magnificent trophy!!

Monday October 20^th Front 9 results

Great turnout again this week – the front 9 always provides a sterner test – highlights as follows:

·         Simon Earl commanded the evening shooting 36 gross for 20 points and making a strong eclectic move – great golf Mr Earl!

·         Richard Aybar raced to a 3 up lead in the matchplay final over OB Sealey winning the first 3 holes with some astounding recovery play! OB held him for the rest of the 6 holes so needs to make his move next week – he has 2 shots so it is FAR from over!

·         Matthieu Charnelet shot a 37 gross to win the gross prize (Simon won the stableford with Jonathan Coates 2^nd with 18 points and 39 gross)

·         Derek Daly and newcomer Bertrand Bougeon won the NTP’s on 2^nd and 5^th holes.
