A humbling experience for all bar one as the might of Bondhay may well have finished off the next batch of Tollerton Golfers. The sandy Worksop Course was once again not short on participants, with an impressive 15 hoping that this year might be the year… despite the fact that it yields as the 1st, 2nd and 4th most difficult course in TGS History on stableford points! Good stat!
Hoenigmann (15) was the solitary halfway leader no doubt with a point to prove to his step-father, Ian Riddel (13) a former scratch golfer and Scottish pro footballer who was part of the 1965 Berwick Rangers team who dumped Rangers unceremoniously out of the Scottish cup.
The best of the rest faired little better. Daft (14) Thacker, Horsburgh and Doc Brown (13) while single figure golfers Chubb (7) Meadows (8) Tuckwell (9) shouldn’t give up the day job. Taxi…
3 players returned a very respectable back 9 – A.T (18) birdie on 13 and 3 more nett birdies to follow. Thacker (16) who impressively started his back 9 like his front 9: blob, blob, birdie. 29 points over 14 holes not bad at all. Brown (16) was perhaps the most impressive in becoming the latest member of the 5 point club. The 515 yard par 5 was reduced to a driver and a wedge, over 2 ponds to 4 feet and holed out with a shot – tremendous.
1 player returned an exceptional back, Daft (20) With the bit between his teeth and applying one hand to the TGS 2009 trophy, he finished with a 3 over, gross 39 – with 3 bogeys and 6 pars, for an outstanding 34 points – 5 shot win – and the only man over 30 points! If that’s not worthy of a shot deduction I don’t know what is!
Daft (34) from A.T (29 B9:18) Thacker (29 B9:16 B6:13) Brown (29 B9:16 B6:12)
With the average points coming it at 24.2 – 1.5 shots less than the previous most difficult course – Bondhay 2007 (25.9) The rest must have had a bit of a mare. Tuckwell Jnr (20) finished with 6 points in the last 3 holes to just avoid joining the 3 other weary souls who remained in the teens.
