McIntosh takes on Temptation!
Whitefields Golf Club
The Winter League on October 25 saw another hole-in-one at Whitefields, but this time on a par four.
The hole in question was the par four 15th aptly named Temptation, as at only 257 yards it has two ponds to
negotiate and a bunker to reach the green. Players either lay up with an iron or take it on with a driver.
The player Peter McIntosh, 'Squash' to the members, had just missed a short putt for a birdie on the 14th to win the hole. According to his opponents he was really wound up, took out his driver and lashed it towards the green.
It carried the first pond hit the bank of the second pond reared up and after two bounces dropped in the hole. After his feat he turned to his opponents and joked "you need that for a half" as they teed up their ball.
Ken Garratt won the Saturday Stableford with 39 points, Neil Todd was second on 37 and Stuart House third with 35.
Rugby Golf Club Juniors
The half term competitions were well supported with the 15 players playing for the Tuesday medal.
Dan Wood with, a net 61, won by a clear five shots from Joe Crooks. Henry de Boer just pipped Robbie Winkle for third place with a net 67 to Robbie's 68.
Friday's Stableford competition underlined the form of Robbie Winkle as he scored a great 44 points. In-form Dan Wood was second with 42 while third place was snatched by Anthony Izzard with a 40 point total. James Price was fourth with 39 points.
On Saturday, the young guns turned out to play the nine hole competition and this was won by Ben Watts with a marvellous net 23. Ben Williamson, playing in only his second competition, was in second place with a net 27. Third place was shared by Jack Moran and Ollie Branston with a net 30.
