Round Norfolk Golf Tour summer comp 2015. Round 5 at Costessey Park

A wet Wednesday saw the 5th round of this years Round Norfolk  Golf Tour summer comp 2015 take place at Costessey Park. The weather forecast was particular bad so everyone was surprised when the field of 4 tee'd off in some sunshine.

Once again Bob started badly popping his tee shot into the river that guards the first green. In 5 attempts this year he has still not bettered a double boggy on the first hole so maybe should think about changing his warm up routine. However once he got going a par on the 3rd and birdie on 6th gave him a respectable 16 half way points

Kevin started better with a couple of pars and a birdie in the first 6 holes. At this point the heavens opened for a proper down poor which seemed to effect Kevin's putting as he 3 putted the next 4 holes. He had 15 pts after 9.

Meanwhile after a slow start Chris had a purple patch scoring 13 pts in 4 holes. However the rain seemed to effect her badly as well, as the points dried up leaving her on 17.

Tee shot to par 3 3rd and a par

Ian got off to a very fast start and already had 15 pts when the rain started. Unlike the other players he appeared water proof and completed the front 9 with a big lead and 21 pts.

Despite the weather improving over the back 9 Bob's game didn't and he feel away badly getting only 8 pts and 24 overall for a comfortable last place.

Ian continued strongly and despite a blob on the 12th (his only one of the day) he got another 18 pts to be a clear winner on 39.

Kevin teeshot on 14th leading to 2 pts

The only contest was for second place with Kevin trying to catch Chris. Kevin missed his big opportunity on the 13th, where Chris got a blob, as despite bouncing back into the fairway from 3 succesive shots into trees he then managed to 3 putt for a blob as well.

As they reached the last hole Kevin would need a par and Chris a blob to tie for 2nd. Chris did her bit putting her second shot into the river and with Kevin on the edge of the green things were looking good. However the 3 putt problems returned and only 2 pts secured meant Chris kept her £1 prize money.

Despite no winnings today Bob still leads the money list however the other comps are well spread. Chris has best stableford average and highest score in a round, Kevin is leading the eclectic and Ian the lowest blobs average per round.

With a slightly larger field expected at  Barnham Broom Hill course it could be all change.

As a new feature I will included current course records for each course. Ian equaled Bob's 2012 Costessey course record of 39pts. BB Hill record is currently jointly held by Kevin (2014) and Bob (2012) on 35 pts.
