- November 24th - DAVE DEMOLISHES CENTERPARC RECORD
- Eight pars and a
birdie ..... no double-bogies!
-
- Back-to-back champ Mike was the only Baxter boy to sneak
under 70 at CentreParcs and was going for his hat trick and a
new record. The previous two years featured wins and records
with 70 and 69 scores. Con was out to stop the winning streak
and reverse his double runner-up position. His best score had
been 1999s 71.Tony's best score of 77 in 1999, as he had performed
poorly in 2000 with an 84. Dave had settled for third place,
each year with scores in the mid to low 70s.
-
- Mike certainly beat his target with a 68 and another one-stroke
improvement, but it was Dave who slaughtered the record and made
a giant leap for Fort Baxter with an astonishing score of 62!!!!
One birdie and eight pars accompanied by nothing worse than bogie,
made up possibly the best round of golf in Baxter history. It
was a tight game on the first day with n more than a stroke between
the two leaders. Con couldn't get a par to save his life, whilst
Tony made a few, but also threw in some fives and a six for uneven
round.
-
- On day two, Dave came out guns blazing with three pars in
a row. Mike could only get one and fell two behind. It was all
over on the tricky water hole where Mike's seven put him out
of contention. He tried hard to fight back, scoring a birdie
on the next h ole, but as Dave matched it, it was clear that
there was only going to be one winner.
- Dave took the championship by six strokes with a second day
score of 30.
-
- Poor conditions made the going tough over at Brent Valley,
as Christmas drew near, but in the Stableford comp, Tony moved
within two points of Dave's commanding lead, whilst Mike and
Alan shared the lead in the low score comp.
