A Distinctive Green Huw

It seems a long time between drinks for Huw Phillips, but today at Bangpra he bounced back to the winner’s circle and the coveted Green jacket.

But it wasn’t that easy, as Tony Leng scored the same number of points to run Huw to a countback. Excellent 37 points from both.

The Bangpra course is never easy and now, with the fairways starting to dry out and the greens, formally known as the fastest around, are still on a go slow, but playable once you worked out the pace. Having said that, there were various opinions about that.

The weather was hot and humid as has been the case for some time now. Just a little wisp of breeze would help.

However, most of the fourteen starters enjoyed their day as all but 5 had a score in the thirties. Not bad for Bangpra and under the hot conditions.

He didn’t make the podium, but it is worth mentioning Bryan Dore, with 35 points off handicap #3 has once again almost parred the course. He was the last to leave the bar as he was already practicing on the newly installed simulator. That’s how you get to be #3 handicap.

We’ve sung the praises of Huw and Tony, but very close behind them were another two players going to the countback. Bill Copeland and Paul Chesney both scored a handicap equalling 36 points each, with Bill just pipping Paul for third spot.

For those not in the final four there are the prizes for best Nines.

Best Front Nine ( non winners)……..Peter Wilson…………18 pts

Best Back Nine ( non winners)……..Mike Tottenham……..19 pts

Winner ……………..Huw Phillips (15)…………..37pts c/back

2^nd Place…………..Tony Leng (24)……………….37pts

3^rd Place……………Bill Copeland (14)…………..36 pts c/back

4^th Place……………Paul Chesney (22)…………..36 pts

A good run saw everyone back at Links Bar nice and early, the complimentary meals were delivered, and Phil did the presentations without delay.

Maybe he just wanted to get it over with, because he already knew that it was he who would have to wear the “wig” for the lowest score of the day. Last week the Green Jacket, this week the “wig’.
