Bright Country Golf Club

As the famous American golfer Bobby Jones was once quoted as saying, “A leading difficulty with the average golfer, is he totally misunderstands what is meant by, concentration. He may think he is concentrating hard, when he is merely worrying”.

With all those words of wisdom, let’s see how the golfers went last week at Bright.

Sunday, 31 May, all gender Stableford competition: Winner, Zorro Zwiersen, 17 H/C 33 pts. Ball winners, Reddog Ruddock 31 pts and Adam Benincasa 29 pts C/B. Nearest the pins, 3rd Zorro Zwiersen and 6th Reddog Ruddock.

Saturday, 6 June, All gender Stableford competition: 62 golfers teed up and there was one outstanding score, Nev Blewitt, 21 H/C 41 pts, James Neylon, 7 H/C 40 pts, Jake Woods, 6 H/C 39 pts, Neil Gill, 25 H/C 38 pts and Chris Oswin, 7 H/C 37 pts.

At the other end of the scale, Dennis Pangrazio went home with the impressive, Ayres Rock glass for having a lowly 15 points.

The Bright Golf Guru idea of the week, “If we all had the same handicap, how boring would golf be?”
