After the excitement of the Masters at Cromer last week, then on Wednesday we returned to a standard tour event at Bungay.
After early confusion over the starters list, 4 players set off for the round.
Once again Bob got off to a poor start with many balls flying into the trees and only 5 points after 7 holes and 10 pts overall for back 9.

| Poor drive from Bob on second leading to a ball into the pumping station and no pts |
Kevin didn't fair much better and thanks to 3 front 9 blobs scored only 13 pts. He never recovered from turning an excellent position on the first into a blob and whinged on about it for most of the round.
 |
| Good drive from Kevin on 5th leading to a par |
Meanwhile John was having one of his normal up and down displays with 3 3 point holes and 3 blobs for 15 front 9 pts

While all this was going on Chris was getting on with taming the course and went point crazy with 4 3 pointers plus a 4 point par and birdie. If she had worked out how to putt up a slope to actually reach the top, of the 7th she would have had even more than the 24pts she had at half way.

Getting out of Bunker at par 3 7th.
Unfortunately this was followed with several putts up and down the hill on the green for a blob |
On the back 9 it soon became clear Kevin and Bob would be fighting out for 4th place. Kevin was very consistent scoring on 8 of the 9 holes but unfortunately none of these were worth 3 pts so only got 12 more to finish on 25.
 |
| Approach shot to par 4 13th which went ok and 2 pts were secured |
As per all rounds this year Bob had a better back 9 and also scored on 8 holes as well but thanks to some pars he got 16 pts to win the 3rd place 50p prize keeping him at the top of the 2015 money list.
 |
| Bobs tee shot to par 3 15th leading to 2 pts |
John's game was now well in the groove and his decision to miss the masters to play some tournaments in Portugal looked like a good one. He scored on every hole and got 18 pts to finish with 3 pars and 33pts for the £1 second place prize.

| John in Valley of Sin again but this time on the 12th |
It was just left to see how many pts Chris would win by and what total would be set in the most stableford pts in a round comp. Everything was looking good for a monster score until an unexplainable run of 1 pt in 3 holes constrained her final total to 40 pts.

| Chris putting for birdie on par 3 12th, she missed. |
After 3 comps the leaders of the competitions are well spread so it is still all to play for as the Tour moves on to Swafham next Tuesday.
