Tuesday saw Round Norfolk Golf Tour summer comp 2015 round 13 at Sprowston Manor. A disappointing field of 3 turned out with a weather forecast suggesting a day of heavy rain. However the rain mainly stayed away so conditions looked good for golf. The practice putting green suggested that the greens could be fast and this certainly turned out to be the case with none of the players getting to grips with them.
Chris had a very disappointing opening 9 scoring only 6 pts. This was partly due to having a bad headache before the drugs kicked in.

Bob was soon into his stride with a 4 pt birdie on the short par 5 second. Sadly for his eclectic he had already birdied the 2nd hole this year. He let things slip at the end of the nine with four successive 1 pointers and 13 points at halfway.

Kevin was scambling well and visiting many bunkers to score on 8 of the first 9 and a halfway lead on 16pts.

On the back nine Chris's game started to come back and despite her losing interest she picked up 15 pts for 21 overall and the 50p 3rd place prize.

| After dufffing teeshot a good recovery chip to par 3 10th |
Meanwhile as Kevin scored erratically Bob started to close the gap.

After wide teeshot Bob laid up on long par 4 11th.
This proved a wise plan as both Chris and Kevin hit their shots into the greenside pond.rushes |
Coming down the par 5 last Kevin had a 2 pt lead only to cart his drive into a lateral water hazard and had to take a drop. Bob saw his chance and after a poor drive hit two good shots to be on the green in 3 with Kevin 20 yards short of green in 4. However when Mr pressure came knocking Kevin was not at home as he chipped to within a couple of feet. Despite Bob making his par Kevin sunk the putt for a one point win.
 |
| Kevin Birdie putt on par 5 13th. He missed it and then missed the one for par as well |
No changes in the eclectic but Chris has given the tour players a bit of hope on closing the average stableford points gap.
The tour moves on to the British open at Thorpeness where a bumper field of 6 is expected.
