Looks like he might be in for a big pay day come Sunday (Will more than likely get a couple of nearest the pins as well!!!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then followed Sponsor <strong>Stuart Beattie (19 H\u2019Cap).<\/strong> whose net 70 was excellent and whilst the 14<sup>th<\/sup> and 15<sup>th<\/sup> set him back, he rallied with a birdie and two pars over the final 3 holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pennant Player <strong>John McKay (7 H\u2019Cap), <\/strong>starting from the 6<sup>th<\/sup><strong>,<\/strong> played well for his even par 72 which was somewhat spoilt by bogeys on 3 of his final 4 holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next was <strong>Don O\u2019Brien (14 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> with one over 73. After starting with a double bogey and then a further double and triple on his first 9 he turned for home with 3 shots left. He kept on going and a further double did not deter him, finishing with 3 pars on the last 3 holes \u2013 a great comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gary Hing (11H\u2019Cap), David Morey (19 H\u2019Cap) and Ollie Wright (13 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> were also on 73.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The afternoon field did not fare any better with <strong>Andy Byk (22 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> and <strong>Craig Marshall (26 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> also carding 73\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Defending Champion, <strong>David Falconer (5 H\u2019Cap) <\/strong>had a day to forget and was well out of contention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Best Gross belonged to <strong>John Samuels <\/strong>with four over par 76. <strong>Edmund Hall and John McKay<\/strong> were back on 79.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the \u201cover 55\u2019s\u201d <strong>John Samuels<\/strong> with 76 led from <strong>Gavin Parker<\/strong> on 81<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EDITOR\u2019S FOOTNOTE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The marquis group of <strong>Watkins, Furness, van Heurck and Frazer <\/strong>had a day to forget.

We said the same thing last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s start our round up of Day 2 with the overnight leaders playing in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now what was <strong>John Samuels (6 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> doing? He was going extremely well over his first 13 holes (2 over par) and then a double bogey on 14. Could this be the curse setting in? A par on 15 followed by 3 bogeys saw him card a one over par 73 and a total of 142.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stuart Beattie <\/strong>had a day to forget \u2013 just like the Stock Market crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>John McKay (7H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> was giving John Samuels a run for his money and with 3 holes left to play he was 2 over the card and in the lead \u2013 2 double bogeys and a bogey to finish undid all his good work and he finished with another 72 for a total of 144.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five shots back were <strong>Peter Miller (7 H\u2019Cap) <\/strong>and<strong> Don O\u2019Brien (14 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the one overs on dayone<strong> Gary Hing<\/strong> started well but fell back after two double bogeys and a quadruple on hole 12, 13 and 14. <strong>Ollie Wright<\/strong> threw away any chance he had with a front nine of 47, whilst <strong>David Morey<\/strong> could not keep the bogeys off his card and like Stuart Beattie had a day to forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has to be said that a less than favorable Pin Position on the 5<sup>th<\/sup> brought about considerable angst and the \u201cpin placer\u201d apologizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, after the morning round the overall leader was<strong> John Samuels (6 H\u2019Cap<\/strong>) on 142 followed by <strong>John McKay (7 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> and then daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now to the afternoon round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not much was happening with the afternoon field however a couple of players caught the eye<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Andy Byk (22 H\u2019Cap) <\/strong>after a one over par round on day one was looking good after 10 holes &#8211; 13 shots left on his handicap. A Double Bogey on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> followed by a triple on 12 upset his momentum and he finished with net 74 and overall 147. An excellent effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Craig Marshall (26 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> after his first round 73 started with par but then things went slightly awry with triples and doubles scattered over his front nine \u2013 final score 79 and total 154. He is now looking forward to the Match Play after qualifying first in \u201cC\u201d Grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody else was making up ground and it was left to the President, <strong>Damon Watkins (13 H\u2019Cap)<\/strong> to come up with the best score of the day \u2013 net 71 which elevated his overall position by around 60 positions. Good comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There really is not much more to say apart from a couple of observations-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>A former President had 5 putts on the 6<sup>th<\/sup> hole which included two double hits in the old rules he would actually have had a total of 7 putts!!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The course was the winner with only 8 players finishing with a par round or better over the two days.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>And yes John Samuels did have a big pay day &#8211; 2025 Champion, Best Over 55\u2019s and runner-up Gross plus of course the obligatory Nearest the Pin.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pascoe Cup awarded to the winner of the Best Gross was won by <strong>Edmund Hall<\/strong> on 152 with <strong>John Samuels<\/strong> on 154.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>John Samuels<\/strong> won the over 55\u2019s with a score of 154.
