Round Norfolk Golf Tour summer comp. Round 15 Halesworth

A small field gathered at Halesworth for round 15 of the Round Norfolk Golf Tour summer comp. Kevin had tractor issues on the way down and turned up with just enough time to get to the tee. This didn't seem to affect him as despite missing a few shortish putts he played to his handicap over the first 8 holes. Unfortunately a blob on the 9th started the rot but he still had 15 pts at half way.

Bob was meant to be taking photo of Kevins par putt on 4th (which he missed)
but instead took a photo of Ian and his finger

Ian was meant to be taken by photo of Kevins birdie putt on 6th (which he missed)
but instead he took several photos of his finger, this was the best

Ian set off like a train with 5 pars on the front 9. He ended up with 21 pts which could have been even better if it hadn't been for a couple of poor drives leading to blobs.

Ians teeshot on the 3rd leading to a another par

Bob started badly with only 6 pts over the first 5 holes but then his game came to life, the highlight a birdie on the stroke index 1 9th for 5 pts. This gave him 18 first half pts.

Bob teeshot on the first which was hooked over the tree for a scmabled point

Kevin tired badly over the back 9 and struggled to get any consistency with his driver or putter. He finished with 26 pts which had been his average all summer.

However Ian and Bob were scoring points for fun with 3 and 4 pointers flying in. With 3 holes to go Ian still had his halfway 3 point lead over Bob but Bob was confident of catching him

Bobs birdie putt on the 12th, he missed but got his par

Unfortunately Bobs confidence was short lived as a serious of fluffed chips lead to a blob on the par 3 16th to gift the match to Ian. Bob finished with 19 more pts on back 9 for 37 overall.

Ian teeing off on 13th for a 5 for 3 pts

Ian and his hot putter continued well and he sunk a long putt for a par on the 18th to finish with another 21 pts and 42 overall, for the best score this year.

There are now just two more rounds left in this years comp.
