this event was won by
paul davies jnr
After much argument and debate Bunkers went to Leigh Golf Club in Warrington to hold their first ever medal event.
A popular course in 2013, we felt that it offer a good mix of difficulty and risk/reward to bring out the best in the players. One player stood out from the crowd with a great round of golf to finish on 81 gross [70 nett] to take the crown. Coming on the back of a couple of uncharacteristicly poor performances of late, it came as a perfectly timed return to form to provide Paul Davies Jnr on his Birthday. Solid off the tee, consistent with his irons and tidy around the greens it was a well deserved win. Well done to Paul Davies Jnr. |
medal madness...
Leigh Golf Club in Culcheth, Warrington was a course that we had visited in the early days of Bunkers, and it was a course that the members had really enjoyed and so it was requested for a return in 2014.
The welcome in the pro shop and the clubhouse were great and the bacon sandwiches were probably the best we have enjoyed this season. Afterwards we had a quick putt and pitch on the practice areas next to the club house and a warm up in the 2 practice nets that you pass on the way to the 1st hole. Each player grabbed a bag of divot repair mix that was left in Leigh G.C branded bags en route to the opening tee – this was a nice touch and showed the pride the club have in keeping the course in top condition.
The first impressions were that the course looked in superb condition. The fairways were well cut and defined and they were soft and springy under foot. The tee boxes likewise and they were all very flat and immaculately presented.
The course is a mature parkland course with very well placed hazards and bunkers that keep you on your toes and the use of the natural contours of the land make holes a lot more difficult than they may appear on the scorecard.
With it being close to the winter season, quite a few of the greens had been hollowtined in the last few days and so there were bobbles and inconsistencies in the putting surfaces. It was clear that the greens had been in immaculate condition and I have no doubt they would be exception in peak season. However, on the day in question, they caused the groups quite a few problems and were difficult to confidently strike the ball on.
The one major criticism was the quality of the bunkers. Some were a bit bereft of quality sand and others were hard and compacted. This resulted in lost shots as the ball rolled to the edges of the bunkers as opposed to gathering into the middle, as on most courses. It also saw quite a few ‘bladed shots’ as the lads tried desperately to ‘splash’ the ball out of the sand without success as the club could not cleanly drive into the compacted surface.
Overall, it was probably a mild disappointment having played the course in a better condition [at the start of the season] in 2013, but it was still a great track with some lovely looking holes. The hospitality of the staff and the facilities were all superb and overall it probably gives a sense of ‘try it again and see’.
On to the golf….
Group 1 – Paul Davies Jnr, John Standley, Mark Gaskell, Kev Givnan
On his Birthday, Paul Davies Jnr was given the honour of sending the lads off the first tee and as he stepped up to his ball a rendition of "Happy Birthday to you" only increased the pressure on him with 15 pairs of eyes all transfixed on his tee shot, as well as other players on the course. A pulled drive later he was reloading 'just in case'. However, it turned out to be fine. The group started well with long drives leaving them in excellent positions on the first hole. They all took advantage to score an opening par but Kevin Givnan was a little disappointed to miss a 6 foot birdie putt.
The collective good scoring continued in the next couple of holes with Mark Gaskell in particular having an excellent front 9. Paul Davis Jr also scored well and was very consistent in his play. A few pulled drives cost Kev Givnan dearly as he found himself blocked out or in tricky positions to attack the greens. John Standley was a bit wild with the driver and left himself in impossible positions all too frequently.
The back 9 proved to be a disaster for Mark Gaskell and took him from pole position to having no chance of threatening the top places. Kevin Givnan played well on the way back in but his continuing quest to get a draw shape on his shots is still a “work in progress” and far too many shots ended up left and gave him no chance on holes.
John Standleys wild driving continued and coupled with some frustrating missed putts it left him way down the leader board. Paul Davis Jr continued fine opening hole form with some excellent pitching and putting and this ultimately secured him first place as he was able to leave himself in positions to score well. A fully deserved win after some recent below par performances!
Group 2 - Keiran Murphy, Lee Carroll, Chris Warbrick, Craig Evans
Chris Warbrick had a familiarly steady round for 15 of the 18 holes and would have been in real contention for the prizes. However, he suffered two 7's and a car bomb 10 to end his hopes of being in the elite. Quote of the day to Chris on the 15th tee when he said to Lee Carroll, "I'm off before you with a 10?" - Lee having suffered a true meltdown did not need to here those confidence sapping words and the air visibly emptied from his lungs as his shoulders drooped in disappointment. Golf can be a cruel temptress!
Lee had started his round with an 8 and had feared the worst. However, he soon steadied the ship and started to wallop the ball straight and true, with some flying over the 300 yard mark with carry. The occassional one began to find the longer grass and with it the game began to fall apart somewhat. After 9 holes, Evo was hovering around him with the sythe just waiting to slash his handicap. Lee must have sensed this as the on the back 9 he was like a jigsaw puzzle in a washing machine as he completely fell apart. A 9 on a par 3 being a particular low point which was quickly followed by an 11 and then Chris Warbricks war speech [above] Eventually, he NR'd on the 16th to end his round and give in to the course.
Keiran was in and out of the round. He struck the ball brilliantly one moment, only to follow that up with some bad ones. The general feeling in the group was that Keiran isn't far away from having another 'top round' just on the length he can hit the ball alone. Drilling a 5 iron 242 yards is bound to make even the longest courses seem like a pitch and putt. Yowzer!
Craig's mantra over the last few months has been that "stroke play is the truest form of golf". It was the very reason Leigh was made to be our first medal event and having argued its case for a number of months, it was felt that today could be the day that last years player of the year produced a winning performance. After 3 holes Craig must have agreed and the early signs were that he was on for a steady days golf. A beautiful drive on the par 5 fourth hole split the fairway in two. He went for the attack and pulled out the correct club for the distance to give himself a chance of really turning the screw. BOOM!. It went left and into the field and out of bounds. Reload and BOOM. The exact same result. Composing himself he put down a third ball and BOOM.....it sailed majestically......into the farmers field and O.B for a 3rd time. His bottom lip quivvered and the dummy was well and truely spat out. "the truest form of golf" had well and truely bitten Evo on the arse. Despite this, he could have battled on, but the damage was done and in a true temper tantrum he declared the hole NR and wrote himself out of the competition, knowing that he would be taking the salmon pink masterpiece from Keith Long.
As is always the case, he played well from this point onwards and stiffed the very next hole to within 6 feet. If he would have just taken it on the chin, he would have recovered to mid table or better. "Stroke play can be the cruelest [and most ironic] form of golf" is maybe a wiser description from now on.
Group 3 - Andy Roper, Keith Long, Tom Davies, Kev Murphy
The group were sent out by Kev Murphy who ended up producing a tidy round. His card had nothing worse than a 6 on it and in medal play that’s always going to stand you in good stead. Kev will probably feel like he left a couple of shots on the course and although he produced a good overall score, it could have been even better. A couple of shots that leaked right instead of his usual draw off the tee left him having the ‘take his medicine’ and hindered scoring. However, overall he has to be happy with a solid 3rd place finish. There was one point where we thought Kev may be 'fodder' for the group behind as one of them declared they had though Kev was the flagstick due to his bright yellow hat.
Keith Long was next off and he was sporting the salmon pink loser shirt, courtesy of his display at Lee Park last time out. The shirt is bad enough [that’s why we use it for the loser!] but to couple it with a pair of blue trousers and in part with a brown cap was a car crash of a rig out. Thankfully, his golf was an improvement on his fashion sense and he drove the ball wonderfully throughout, and his iron play was solid. Around the greens he was consistent and was bang on course for a first place finish. Then the 15th happened. A 7 shot card wrecker that just took the win away from him. However, it was a solid round of golf and a well deserved 2nd place.
Andy Roper stepped onto the tee with Gibbo and Malones words ringing in his ears of ‘he should be off 14’. Recent good form gave Andy confidence of having a good round but although he was steady enough from the tee and decent with the putter, his usually consistent iron and wedge play from 150 yards in let him down and several times he found himself in bunkers with tricky lies. In fact, he saw more sand than an camels toe [no, not that sort!!!] This resulted in 3 or 4 two-shot escapes as he struggled to work the ball cleanly from the compacted sand [or at least thats his excuse]. The card had no real disasters on it, but was pretty unspectacular with too many bogeys to make a real impact. As the groups bunched up on the 15th tee and the crowds watched on, Andy produced a delightful shot with his utlity that whilstled majestically at 60 degrees directly off the club face and crashed into the bushes and O.B. The lads expected the club to follow the ball, but Roper's a new man these days and he smiled and placed the problematic club back in the bag. Wonderful.
Tom Davies started off well and drove the ball wonderfully at times with a lovely draw shape on them. Again, he began strong with the putter and around the greens but a hugely over hit putt midway through his round gave him the ‘yips’ and he began to leave consecutive putts and chips short. Despite this, it was a pretty strong round in the most part with some very good, clean strikes which can only bring confidence going forward. Any lad confident enough to wear camoflauge patterned glasses with such a beautifully coiffured quiff can only be destined for bigger and better things. That ladies and gentlemen is a fact!
Group 4 - Allan Gannon, Phil Williams, Keith Malone, Paul Davies
Group 4 waited until the preceding groups were well out of sight before showing how the truest form of golf should be played. Phil duffed left not even making the brook before losing his second and running back to play his fourth, Alan went further but lefter [is that even a word?], Keith did make the brook and god knows what Paul did as the others bemoaned their bad fortune.
33 shots between them later and they moved onto the second tee with the wind slightly knocked out of the sails. The group, it's fair to say, had its ups and downs. There were a few provisional shots but generally balls were found and a good tempo of play was kept.
Phil eventually began to strike the ball properly and from the 4th through the 14th had a good run eventually brought to an end by an 8 on the long par 3!! Putting was abysmal and although the greens got looked at in disgust on more than one occasion they couldn't be blamed for missed two footers. Highlight? Losing his ball on the 18th, believing he was going to NR and finding it at the last gasp and chipping in for par ensuring a happy walk back to the clubhouse.
Only the 1st and 17th made a mess of Keith's scorecard where otherwise he showed good continuation of form. A little bit wayward off the tee meant approach shots were hindered by those big wooden things meaning greens in regulation were not going to happen. Once on the dance floor though things did happen and he two putted well achieving bogeys on 9 holes in succession.
Trees on Leigh have matured over at least the past half century or so. Nevertheless Paul did his best to knock as many down as he could. Where there was no tree to knock down he tried to take out the hole information boards with an 8th hole failure on par with Man Utd's defeat to Leicester. Fairway wood in hand his tee shot went at 90 degrees, hit the wooden hole marker board and ricocheted 60 yards backwards to the 7th green where the group behind thought they were being ambushed by guerrilla golfers. In fairness his second put him back in it and a 6 was a fair score. He went on to chip in on the 9th from 50 yards. Shame no one saw it as they were looking for Allan's ball!!
Speaking of which, Jack Bauer [aka Allan Gannon and his penchant for scoring 24 in our events - plus his rig out for Leigh.....see the photos below!!!!!] had a ropey start. Still on the borrowed clubs from Clarkey, he strode around like a catalogue model never losing his temper and like Paul he was doing his best to destroy every Oak that came into sight. His 3 wood served him well when no trees sprouted up and got in the way and generally he struck the ball well but tended to favour the left. Ultimately a couple of lost balls where provisional's got played hindered his progress and a few putts got left short. A mid table finishing position...why of course, it's what he does best.He's the Stoke City of Bunkers!
The welcome in the pro shop and the clubhouse were great and the bacon sandwiches were probably the best we have enjoyed this season. Afterwards we had a quick putt and pitch on the practice areas next to the club house and a warm up in the 2 practice nets that you pass on the way to the 1st hole.
