Round Norfolk Golf Tour summer comp. Round 16 not Eaton but Barnham Broom Hill again

Tuesday saw  round 16 Round of the Round Norfolk Golf Tour summer comp. However due to an alleged double book the venue was switched from Eaton to the Hill Course at Barnham Broom at the last minute. It was that or join in with Ladies president day at Eaton.

Barnham Broom Hill was deserted and the small group of three didn't see another player all round.

Bob had a very solid front 9 scoring on every hole. Unfortunately there was a lot of scrambling for points so he only managed 14 on the front 9.
Bob playing out the rough on 1st hole
Ian had a very similar start to Bob and scored on 8 of 9 holes for 15 pts.
A good recovery chip, from Ian, from a wide tee shot on the 2nd but still got 2 pts
Kevin got off to the best start with 5 pars and 4 bogeys for 21 pts and a clear half time lead.
Kevin's tee shot on the par 5 5th leading to a par
Ian never managed to re capture his Halesworth form and had a frustrating back 9 scoring only 27 pts and last place.
Ian putting for par on the Par 5 12th (he missed)
Bob started to get his game together and driving well. He started the back 9 with a 4 pointer but his only two bad teeshots, on 12 and 16, both lead to blobs and he ended up with 17 back nine points and 31 overall.
Bob's teeshot to par 3 11th.
Kevin's good form ran out on the difficult 10th where he thought he was Sevy and tried to play an impossible shot from behind a tree and only managed to duff it into a hedge. This was followed by putting the ball into farmer Browns field on the 14th (followed in by Ian's ball) and these two blobed holes limited him to 14 back 9 points for 35 overall and a rare victory.

Due to further fixture issues there will be two further rounds of the Round Norfolk Golf Tour summer comp with visits to Sprowston and Sheringham planned so the season will now end in Mid October.
