Last game of the week saw us take 4 groups to Pleasant Valley. It was overcast when we left but by the time we arrived at Pleasant Valley the sun was out and it stayed dry.
Pleasant Valley is a very popular course with us but the popularity is getting strained because of their ridiculous policy which permits 6 and 7 ball groups to play. In front of our 4 groups was a 4 ball, a 5 ball with music being played from the carts, and a 6 ball. I also viewed a 7 ball on the 9th green. When quizzed about this I was told that that is their policy. The possible result is that many societies will just stop going which is a pity because it is a good course with very pleasant staff and caddies.
As for the golf, Mike Babb played the best round of his life which saw him score 43 points with 4 `wipes`! Mike had 24 points on the back 9 with no points on the 2 par 5`s. He posted a pointer on the 10th hole and 4 points at the 14th and 16th. Three 3`s and a 2 made up his back 9. Mike was 4 ahead of runner-up, Russell Blatchford. The remaining podium places went to Glen Elsworth and John Carlin.
RESULTS:
1st Place Mike Babb (25) – 43
2nd Place Russell Blatchford (14) – 39
3rd Place Glen Elsworth (10) – 37
4th Place John Carlin (27) – 36
