Botrea Bowl
Saturday 12th November
The Botrea Bowl had been twice delayed but at last we were able to play it!
Nineteen lovely ladies were able to play and despite the wind and the long rough were glad to be out on the course again!
There were some birdies to be had; Anne U birdied the 2nd; Angie the 9th and Lindsay, Chris D and Fiona birdied the 12th. Our Par Queen was Hilary who had 6!
All that said, the scores for the majority were in the twenties. Angie was 4th with 30 points; Liz was third with 31; Anne U with 33 and our winner with an amazing 37 was Lindsay!

| 4 | Cape, Angela | 30 pts (40) | |||||
Well played Lindsay!
A point of explanation...you may notice that Anne U had 35 points on the Masterscoreboard results but was only credited with 33 for our competition.
The reason was that she had put a lower course handicap on her card than she should have done. This doesn't mean disqualification (a higher one would have been a disqualification) but it means the competition score had to be off the incorrect lower handicap. It did not effect the position results.
I mention this because as from January this sort of problem will not exist in our Stableford and Medal competitions... the rules are changing and an incorrect handicap will no longer mean disqualification in these formats!! It makes it much easier for the card markers!
I expect it will be useful for us all to continue filling in the cards in full but no longer will the disqualification knife be hanging over us. Handicaps in other formats will still need accuracy though!
