Tuesday saw round 7 of Round Norfolk Golf Tour summer comp 2015 take place at Halesworth in Suffolk.
It was an ideal day for golf in terms of both the weather and emptiness of the course although as the round progressed the wind increased in strength causing problems towards the end.
Bob started solidly and all looked good until back to back blobs on holes 5 and 6 put the brakes on and he returned 14 points at halfway.

| Bob and John prowling their putts on the par 3 second |
John was playing consistently scoring on 8 of the 9 holes but 3 double bogeys also restricted him to 14 pts.
 |
| Johns tee shot on par 5 3rd that although was the shortest and widest still went on to par the hole. |
Kevin was the most erratic with 3 pars and a birdie mixed in with a couple of doubles and blobs for 16 pts.
 |
| Kevin birdie putt on 5th, he missed |
Chris was once again the most consistent and only the pond on the 8th stopped her scoring on every hole but she still finished with 18 pts going into the back 9.
 |
| Chris teeshot on the opening hole leading to two pts |
With only 4 pts between the players the £2.50 first prize could go to anyone. If it had been a par 3 course it would have probably been to John as he pared both the back 9 par 3's but sadly only managed another 4 points on the longer holes to finish a drift on 24 pts.

John making a good par on the 16th.
Camera man had waited for 4 holes to get picture of John putting
as he didn't make it to the green on the previous 3. |
It was now a 3 way battle and after 14 holes Kevin and Chris had 26 pts and Bob 25 but the pressure then got to Bob who only managed 2 points in the last 4 holes to claim third place and 50p prize money.
 |
| Bob teeshot on 10th leading to 3pts |
For the second round running Kevin and Chris were now competing for the main prize and with the score 31 all with one to play it looked like it could again end as a tie.
 |
| Chris provisional drive on par 3 11th which ended up in the pond |
However when Chris didn't notice the pond by the fairway and laid up into it the match was all but over as Kevin get the two points he needed for his first win of the year.
 |
| Kevin's miss hit low drive on 14th for a scambled point |
Things are getting tighter at top of leader board although thanks to his two birdies Kevin has opened up a bit of a lead in the eclectic. Bob's 50p winnings maintains his place at the top of the money list. Chris is the only player averaging over 30pts a round
Next round is at Bury St Edmunds where the course record is currently 37 held by Bob from 2012.
