This Sunday is our 9th round this winter and with a few going away to Turkey in a few weeks this will be their last round before the Grand Final to get some good points in.
Why has the scoring been so good this year?
The main reason is the weather. We have had great conditions for the rounds this year and this for me has been the main factor. We are also getting used to playing certain courses. This year we have introduced 4 new courses so far and if we play at Mar Hall that will be 5.
Also, the round at Crail where there were high points for most due to the winter greens. That is the first time we have ever played winter greens and the course was not frozen solid. Two years ago we had winter greens at Powfoot but the ground was frozen solid which resulted in poor scores for most that day. The main difference at Crail was the ground was soft and the course short. Since 2007 we have only played winter greens twice.
The scoring has been very good this year and you have to go back to Leven 2010 when we had very tough conditions with wind and rain showers. That day Alex Smart won with just 31 points and myself and Kenny Lang were runners up with 29 points!!
This year, 29 points at some rounds has nearly got you the Spoon.Scores below with each players best 5 scores total and the score they need to better to increase their total.
