El Plantio Golf Club - 15th February 2008
Again we were a little cautious as the weather
forecast for this “C” Division game
was not that favourable, but somebody up there
likes us, as it turned out to be a pefect day
for golf, and the course is looking better by
the week.
Prior to this game Terra Mitica were holding a
mere one point lead at the top of the table with
Eurogolf Golf Society and Alamo Golf Society breathing
hot air down their necks, and the two German sides
Deutscher Golf Club and Ibero Alemanischer Golf
Club just witing in the wings for those teams
to slip up.
To make matters more interesting Eurogolf were
taking on Alamo, who had one of their stronger
players Lee Harrington struggling with the dreaded
Flu’ This match must have been one of the
highest scoring games in the three divisions as
it amassed at total, of 460 points with Eurogolf
securing the better share by twelve points, but
as has been said before any side that can average
29 or more points will always be there or thereabouts.
In this case Eurogolf had 29.5, while Alamo had
28, and had poor Lee Harringtron suffering from
the Flu’. Then things could have been a
lot closer.
Newcomers Rocajuna are proving to be a side to
be reckoned with, they were polaying a seasoned
Los Amigos side and took them to the cleaners
beating them by a resounding 237 points –
top scorers of the day - to 196 points again as
we keep repeating ourselves the average is what
counts in Rocajuna’s case it was 29.6. They
were denied a whitewash by husband and wife team
of Los Amigos, Brian and Gloria Cooper.
Top of the table Terra Mitica must have thought
going into their games against Los Caballeros
Golf Society, who were down at the basement, that
this could be a way of stretching the lead. But
in this game of golf you have to concentrate and
not expect too much. Now I am not saying they
did But ……they could only manage a
2 – 2 draw and even lost the bonus points,
to a team that needs the points to climb off the
lower reaches.
Now we come to the battle of the Titian’s,
the two German teams each one wanting to prove
a point, and that is just what they did –
both of them. With each side scoring exactly the
same numbers of points. A very unusual feat.
Ibero Alemanischer had a very attractive weapon
in their side, Maria Krammer, not only attractive
but an accomplished golfer too, playing off a
handicap of 9 and scoring 35 points. But not to
be outdone Deutscher had Peter Kautz playing off
10 who came in with 37 points.
The bonus points were shared at one point each.
So honours were equal all round. Proving yet again
that the format played in this League is as fair
and exciting as it can be.
The results of the matches:
Eurogolf G C 3 (236 points) vs Alamo G S 1 (224
points)
Rocajuna G S 1 (237 points) vs Los Amigos G S
1 (196 points)
Terra Mitica G S 2 (207 points) vs Los Cabelleros
G S 2 (221 points)
Deutscher G C 2 (213 points) vs Ibero Alemanischer
G C 2 (213 points)
The best individual scores of the day went to:
John Fordham (Rocajuna G S) 39 points, Peter Kautz
(Deutscher G C), 27 points, Gary Moffatt (Alamo
G S) 36 points, Barry Brown and Ian Carter (Terra
Mitica G S), Maria Krammer (Ibero Alemanischer
G C) 35 points, Chris Dooney (Los Caballeros G
S) Jens Voss, Ulrich Brack (Deutscher G C) 34
points.
John Fordham Rocajuna G S) is a consistent scorer
as last time out he scored 36 points as is Peter
Kautz of Deutscher G C who scored 35 points, in
January.
42% that’s 27 of the 64 players scored 30
or more points. Well done that’s good golf
The bonus points went to, Deutscher G C,(1 point)
Ibero Alemanischer G C (1 point), Eurogolf G S,
and Rocajuna G S.
So at the end of the matches Eurogolf take over
top spot and open a gap between themselves and
Terra Mitica by five points. Rocajuna despite
playing eight matches less than anyone else are
off the bottom swapping places with Los Caballeros.
But the most amazing thing is not only did the
two German Clubs share everything on the day,
they now have equal everything in the League table.
The next “C” Division League game
will be at Roda on 21st March 2008 two tee start
10:00
This is so exciting that the last game of the
season at Alicante Golf sees Eurogolf against
Terra Mitica – Can’t wait!
But there’s still next months games to be
settled and the Fat Lady is still doing her bit.
