Q21

From http://bsvgolf.blogspot.com/

Greetings this week from Newport Coast, SoCal - surfing country. A lot cooler down here so have managed to get out twice for 9 holes with my grandson and son-in-law at the lovely little course at Aliso Creek - http://www.alisocreekinn.com/default.aspx?pg=golf. It's short - ideal practice for an 11 year old who's learning the game - but, off the blue tees, the four par 3's are amongst the toughest I've played anywhere, so it was fun for us too. The course meanders through a canyon - if your ball strays off the fairway, you leave it - the rough is just wild and the rattlesnakes are sufficient deterrent. Here I am waiting at the first:

The database has been updated - and Rob's calculations were correct - although I'm not quite sure why he couldn't figure out the dropping scores for everyone - they're all there in descending order on the "Top 10 order" tab. Anyway here's the details:

1. Stewart, Ian 391 (37)
2. Sharp, Ian 385 (36)
3. Corbett, Daniel 384 (34)
4. Pollard, Rob 378 (34)
5. Simpson, Jack 372 (32)
6. Taylor, Dick 355 (33)
7. Riches, Hugh 335 (29)
8. Gray, Keith 332 (30)
9. Meaden, John 323 (25)
10. McRae, Ian 316 (29)

So, it's all to play for in the last 2 weeks - looking forward to it - it will be great to play 18 holes - hope the weather behaves when I get back. Given the scores to drop, there's effectively only a 4 point gap for Ian to make up in the next 2 weeks, and Dan still has low scores of 34 and 35, so his current 7 point shortfall can be closed very quickly. Rob has a bit more work to do with an effective gap of 10 points.
