Bonus ball October 18th 2018

Thanks again to Steve Monk for the following report. Derek had a Drs appointment for flu jab so unable to play

Another glorious day for golf, with sunshine throughout. A very heavy dew made putting a challenge for the first couple of hours, and restricted the amount of run on well-hit drives, but the dew was gradually dried out by the sun. Forty-five players turned up to compete in a Bonus Ball game. We had 3 teams of 3 and 9 teams of 4, with each set playing their own competition. Winners were:

In the 3-ball competition, Mike Kalka, Tony Owens and Noel Jones carded the best score with 103 stableford points.

In the 4-balls, 1st were Don Wraight, Stewart Poole, Roy Jordan and Dave Lloyd with 160 points.

2nd were Andy Mitchell, Damian Atkin, Dave A Jones and Keith Hawthorn with 149 points.

3rd were Cliff Davies, Mike Drake, Peter Bowen and Jon Falcus with 146 points

Explanation of scoring for Bonus Ball (previously called Yellowish Ball).
This is played as a stableford competition, ideally in 4-ball teams.
At every hole all four stableford scores count towards the team total, and a 'bonus' score is added. The bonus score is derived as follows.
At all holes on the front 9 of the course (holes 1 to 9 inclusive), the lowest stableford points score from the 4 team members is added as the bonus score.
At all holes on the back 9 of the course (holes 10 to 18 inclusive) the highest stableford points score from the 4 team members is added as the bonus score.
Some examples:-
On Hole 1, say, the 4 players record scores of 6/2, 4/3, 6/1, 5/2. The bonus score is the lowest of these, i.e. 1. So the team total for the hole is 9.
On Hole 7, say, the 4 players record scores of 5/2, 6/2, 5/3, 7/0. The bonus score is the lowest of these, i.e. 0. So the team total for the hole is 7.
On hole 10, the 4 scores are 4/4, 6/2, 5/2, 6/1. The bonus score is the highest of these, i.e. 4. So the team total for the hole is 13.

On hole 17, the 4 scores are 3/3, 4/2, 6/0, 5/1. The bonus score is the highest of these, i.e. 3. So the team total for the hole is 9.
