Popular committeeman Richard “Pickles” Matz finally broke his string of Mars Bars but he needed a count back to do it. Pickles and Big Trev Maxted tied for last with 27 stableford points with Trev taking the confectionary.

The winner of the round was Mark “Mouldy” Millward who bolted in with 39 points 4 points clear of runner up, Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel. A multiplier four ball was also held in conjunction with the stableford between teams of 3 (teammates scores were multiplied together on each hole). An example of fine teamwork saw Graham Webster, Andy Phillips and Dick Cleland take out this prize.

Despite warnings of damaging winds (or did they forget to check the weather forecast), 9 players turned out for the mid-week stableford competition. As was to be expected scores where poorer than usual. The ever popular Pat Hallion was victorious with 32 points, narrowly defeating the trio of the congenial Andy Phillips, Chris “Critta” Waters & Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel by 1 point. The Mars Bar was shared by Richard “Pickles” Matz & Michael Shepley, making it the fourth Mars Bar in a row for Pickles.

Great concern is being felt for the form of popular committee man, Richard “Pickles” Matz. Pickles has now collected 3 Mars Bars in a row with Saturday’s score particularly concerning. I shouldn’t tell you what it was but if you promise not to tell anyone it was 18.

The scores were generally low which we can attribute to the cold windy weather. The winner was David “Robbie” Robinson with 35 points. Robbie did improve during the round coming home with 19 points. Runner up was Big Trevor Maxted with 33.

We have some pretty slow learners at the Burra Golf Club. Handicapper, Andy Phillips produced another good round of 39 stableford points, only to be beaten by 1 point by Boh Wall. As when this happened recently, the handicapper acted swiftly deducting a stroke from the culprit’s handicap. Richard “Pickles” Matz took the Mars Bar in what has become a worrying trend.

Peter Weiss took advantage of the conditions to post a scorching score of 43 stableford points, beating runner up, Philip “Tommo” Thomson by 5 points. The handicapper has apparently been nursing some sort of upset and we hope he soon recovers for the well being of our members. This time he slashed 2 strokes from Peter’s handicap. Richard “Pickles” Matz continued his up & down form to take the Mars Bar on this occasion.

If you think the handicapper was a bit rough the previous Saturday spare a thought for the genial Michael Shepley. Michael scored an excellent 42 points to beat joint runners up David “Robbie” Robinson & David “Jack” Webster who both scored 38. The handicapper spoilt Michael’s party by reducing his handicap by a massive 3 strokes. Chris “Critta” Waters arrived so late that it is arguable whether he should have been allowed to play. He was allowed to play but had to complete the first two holes his group played after everyone else had finished. So doing, he managed to take the Mars Bar.

Ben Dunstan scored 40 points to defeat runner up Andy Phillips by 2 points. Unfortunately for Ben, Andy is the handicapper, and Andy took his revenge reducing Ben’s handicap by 2 strokes! Trevor Maxted took the Mars Bar and if you really want to know what his score was you can look it up in the results.

On Saturday a par round was played and our ever popular vice captain, Mark “Mouldy” Millward edged out handicapper, Andy Phillips. As all golfers will understand, the popularity of the handicapper varies from member to member and from time to time. Both returned scores of one up. Next best were a string of players on -2. Bob Perry took the Mars Bar with -12. Bob played well but was just unlucky.
