Abbotswood Trophy
Saturday saw a new format for the Abbostwood Trophy. This Trophy used to be for Thursday morning Stableford competitions but since Covid (and WHS) there have been less of us playing these so Sue D who sponsors the trophy decided to change the format.
It is now a mixed competition with teams of four - teo men and two ladies. It is a betterball and the two best scores count however one must be from a lady and one from a man.
This made for a really interesting competition.
We started off in warm sunshine, not a breath of wind and blue skies.
Absolutely perfect!
However as the round progressed the wind began to pick up and the clouds came over so having started by taking off layers because we were warm we ended up putting on everything we had!
It was great to play a different format!
The scores were perhaps a little lower than Betterball is sometimes but that is a reflection of the conditions - everyone scored less on the back 9 compared with the front!
Naturally, countback was needed to separate some scores!

On Sunday several ladies joined in the Logan Rock Open which was also a betterball but in teams of two this time.
Conditions were much tougher - strong winds from the start and an absolute downpour in the middle! Soaked to the skin again!
Really tough playing conditions... congratulations to Mark and Brian on their win!
