Powerplay Trophy

Powerplay

Today was Hils and Norman's Powerplay Trophy!

This is when two flags can be found on the greens of the nine hardest holes. 

Before a player tees off on those holes they can choose to play to the more difficult hole position or not.

Three of of these powerplays can be taken in the whole round.

Two flags on the third hole

 This format challenges our thought processes and we find ourselves making some good and some very annoying decisions.

For example... a hole which you never normally par... you do actually par! You could have chosen to play to the powerplay flag but you didn't ... 

or vice versa!

Aaahhh!

So, it was a great challenge and lots of fun!

The most outstanding hole score was made by Adventurous Angie, who parred the 16th hole and got 10, yes ten points for it!!!

The 16th was a good place to gain points it seems as Captivating Claire, Marvellous Marion, Super Sue S and Joyful Jayne all got 6 points there!

Amazing Ann doubled her points on the 15th; and Legendary Lyn doubled hers on the 8th while Fantastic Fran doubled hers on the 7th. Lovely Lindsay got two powerplays - on the 7th and the 14th - good stuff eh?

Well done everyone!

Welcome treats before the 12th!

 As we come through to the 12th we were welcomed with delicious refreshments!

Thanks Hils - really delicious!

To the results - it was a close run thing!

In fourth place on countback from Jayne was yours truly with 38 points; in third place with 39 points was Judy on countback from Sue D who came second, and in first place was Chris with a fabulous forty points!

Well played Chris - it is great to have you back and playing with freedom 😊

Many, many thanks to Hils and Norman for arranging and sponsoring the day and to Mark and his team for all the preparations. There was a lovely turnout, the weather was kind and the course was looking lovely. Leanne and Andy had arranged for quiche, salad and new potatoes to be available for the hungry golfers and it was delicious. Thanks everyone for making it a lovely day.
