18th May 2007 ACGA Major #2 Pryfords GC 44 members + 2 Guests Chris Thomas

 

Chris Crushes The Course with Creditable 85 pts

As the race for the 2007 Order of Merit title really starts to take shape a solid performance at Pyrford Golf Club would be paramount to keeping alive any title aspirations you had at the start of the year. With just 28 points separating the Top 5 (Ray McGinley 228, Henry Laville 226, Chris Thomas 210, Andy Ferdinand 206, Steve Garner 200) the competition is still very much within anyone’s grasp.

 

The venue for what proved to be a record breaking day for the ACGA was Pyrford Golf Club near Woking in Surrey. Part of the Crown Golf collection of Golf Clubs I am sure it will become a regular feature on The ACGA roster over the next few years. With the tees positioned slightly forward the course was set-up slightly shorter then we would have liked. Nonetheless it still proved to be a good stern test of golf, with lush fairways, superb greens and many water hazards.  Competing amongst the 47 players the ACGA was proud to welcome two new members, Clayton Dean and Alistair Phillips and two guests Fez Newell and Cora Edwards. Fez has now completed his two events as a guest and we look forward to welcoming him as a member at the next outing.

Playing with the ACGA for the first time we welcome Cora Edwards. Along with our other female members this could be the catalyst for attracting more women to our ranks.

 

With the recent wet weather we’d been experiencing it was a relief for all to start the day without our wearing our waterproofs. Despite a small shower midway through the round the quality of golf shone through with some very impressive morning scores. The stars of the morning round were Chris Thomas & Mayhe Bernard both with 44, the chasing pack 3 points behind were Keith Murray and Del Manderson both with 41. A further point behind on 40 was Andy Ferdinand and Steve Lee-Sang.

 

The topic of conversation over lunch was ‘would the leaders be able to handle the pressure?’ Could they finish off what they had started? Or would the winner on the day emerge from deeper in the pack. The first to fall was Mayhe Bernard an injury prevented him from playing at his best in the afternoon he just missed out on a trophy finishing in sixth position. Steve Garner put in a very credible performance to follow up his victory at Benton Hall with 5th place. It was good to have Steve Lee-Sang back with us after missing a few events, a sturdy 40+36 wrapped up 4th place.  After some very respectable placings in the 3 previous events Andy Ferdinand 40+38 3rd must surely feel its only a matter of time till the Major win comes his way, lets hope his cut does not send him back to the golfing wilderness. Talking of golfing wilderness, it was good to see Keith Murray picking up some silverware with a 41+38 2nd, a score like that on most other occasions would be enough to walk away with the top prize.

 

The applause and acclaim for winning the ACGA Major at Pyrford goes to Chris Thomas. Winning by a massive 6 points Chris has set a new ACGA record for a 36 Hole Stableford competition. 44+41 total of 85 left the rest of the field languishing in his slipstream and relegated Mark Cato’s record of 83 to the also rans. I am sure the whole membership will join me in congratulating you on your first Major victory; we look forward to seeing you at Champion of Champions next year.
