Santana Golf - 24th April 2021
Today we played Stableford format.
Today was the TBGS first of our new yearly Presidents Trophy day. This day is to acknowledge the hard work and dedication put in by our leader and president Robyn Wheeler.
Robyn took on the responsibility of the Society back in 2011, after a drunken discussion at the Ryder cup. I am sure there are time he regrets agreeing to do it! Back then society had 16 regular players and 30 members, we now have 150 active members (covid allowing) and pre covid 46 average players in 2019. Even now we have between 20 and 30 playing which is good going!
Robyn has many qualities (apart from his golf) he runs the TBGs very well the fixtures are sorted we can turn up each week knowing all we have to do is pay and play!
One of Robyn’s great pleasure’s is organising our Ryder Cup trips, there have been 8 great trip’s so far all have gone down very well. I have one have enjoyed everyone I have been on. I am sure there will be plenty more to come.
Robyn Has run the society very efficiently and deserve to have the title to go with the work.
It is fitting that we played our first Presidents trophy at one of the societies favorite courses Santana, not only is the course always in top condition but the welcome we get from the staff is always top rate!
Today didn’t disappoint, the condition of the course was superb, the condition near perfect for golf, it showed in the scoring, with 10 players in the 30’s and two managing 40!
1st Simon Waby 40 pts playing off 6, cut to 5.2
2nd Andy Hassall 40 pts playing off 13.5, cut to 12.3
3rd Denis Regan 39pt playing off 26.3 cut to 24.3
Nearest pin hole 16 was Tony Sidebottom
Nearest pin in 2 hole 14 was Pat O'connor
As today was President’s day we added in a couple more prizes a nearest pin in 3 hole 10 was Simon Waby.
We also had a longest putt in one on hole 2, these was some confusion with one 4 ball, who seemed to think that the putt didn’t have to go in. We wont name the group as I am sure they are all very embarrassed.
Lonest putt was won correctly with the ball in hole by Brain Rowlands.
Robyn being the well organised guy he is organised drinks and snacks on the 10th and a BBQ and drinks after the game on Santana golfs fantastic terrace, the food was great, the beer cold and the fun as every memorable. Thanks to the staff at Santana for making this a unforgettable day and date to mark in your calendar for next year!
A massive thanks to Robyn for putting on a great day.
Next week we are at Chaparral golf, please let Robyn know as soon as possible if you want to play!
