Rod on leave
I will be away in sunny South Africa from the 19th Jan to 10th Feb. To keep our records up to date could someone please send me the results on IG for each of the Dawn Patrol events.
There is no need to keep the cards. What I need.
- Number of players and hence the prize pot
- For individual events – Overall, Front 9 and Back 9 winners and how much they received
- For team events – the winning team and how much each individual won and indeed if there were over 20 players the same details for 2nd place.
Remember: If there are over 20 or over players, there will be first and second prize awarded. (2/3 to first and 1/3 to second)
Plettenberg Bay Golf Course
I was fortunate enough to be invited by an old school friend to play at Plettenberg Bay Golf Course on two consecutive days—an amazing experience. See the video below.
A shot of tequila is the penalty, or reward, for various infringements. I received mine as a new guest, while my playing partner, Mike, earned his for leaving the table before prize-giving.
Perhaps we should introduce a similar penalty for incorrectly completed scorecards! 🙂
