Ruby West
Last week the honours board competitions kicked off with the Ruby West, a competition for handicaps 16 - 28, with 57 entries but how did they get on?
Saturday was a tough day for scoring with a wind which had turned around from its usual direction making the day very cold. This, however, wasn't a problem for early bird Peter Heyburn returning home with 38 points including a 2 for 5 points on the 7th hole, holing his approach shot with his 9 iron! For the whole day it was looking like Peter's 38 points was going to be enough to claim victory, unfortunately for Peter, Dave Stacey had other ideas when he fired in a whopping 41 points; the last card of the day. Dave played a very steady round with nines of 20 & 21 points getting his handicap cut by 1.4 and now playing off 14, well done Dave! It wasn't all bad for Peter Heyburn though as his delightful eagle at the 7th saw him clear up the 2's sweep as nobody else made a 2, beers on Peter then!
