Time, like Adrian\u2019s 3-wood on 16, really is flying! (260 yards, ask him about it, I\u2019m sure he\u2019d love the opportunity to talk about it again).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another glorious day, the stillness of the air, especially on the lower holes, created sauna like conditions. The grass is unsurprisingly struggling on the fairways but it didn\u2019t affect playability and the greens were superb. Pin placements were noted by all as being particularly challenging, a hangover from an event the previous day \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/pgagbi.bluegolf.com\/bluegolf\/pgagbi25\/event\/pgagbi25139\/contest\/1\/leaderboard.htm\"><strong>PGA SkyCaddie Pro-Captain Challenge West Region Pre-Qualifier<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong>it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A really healthy turnout, with 18 members teeing it up. No time wasted, with scorecards all pre-filled in and handed out pre-round; 3 organiser points well earned by Steve, I actually don\u2019t think I could fault his efforts\u2026some could, and indeed did, naming no Jackmans, but let\u2019s not dwell on such matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was great to see Eamon and Phil join us for their first event of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were lots of juicy Champion Golfer points on offer, with 3 events being played for alongside the usual NtP and LD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>WSDL Cup \u2013 for the lowest gross score<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worldmark Cup \u2013 for the highest stableford points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>President\u2019s Putter \u2013 for the lowest number of putts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations to all our winners, yet ANOTHER win on count-back, that\u2019s 5 out of 6 events that have been won on count-back, and this time, just like previously at Donnington, there was a 3-way tie at the top.
