Five players turned out for the first end of season bonus round. Sammy, Wayne, Travis, Frito and Robby were all on hand to take advantage of the doubled points format which ended up impacting the first and third league scoring positions.
Robby came out on fire this night throwing his best ever recorded 54 (-18) to win the round and gain 10 league points (just one stroke shy of the recorded course singles record held by Sammy). It all came down to another round winning Ace on 18 giving Robby not only his third Ace of the season but also his fourth consecutive win (though he missed the round last week, this is still four in a row for his participation).
With the doubled scoring bonus, Robby’s round put him soundly into third position behind MaT who fell to second place after Sammy’s round of 55 (-17). Both Robby and Sammy picked up bonus points, which positively impacted their best 10 scores to date, moving both up a notch on the Overall League scoring chart.
Wayne and Travis both shot 66 (-6) with Wayne taking third in a two hole playoff. Frito hit a very uncharacteristic 72 to round out the group.
In summary, Robby picked up four (4) league points as his ten (10) bumped out his previously lowest round of six (6) points. Sammy picked up two (2) league points bumping out a six (6) with his eight (8) and Travis picked up a point bumping a three (3) with his four (4). Neither Wayne with six (6) points nor Frito with two (2) points impacted their top ten scores with this evening’s play.
It appears that the bonus format is going to have an impact on the final run to the Overall League scoring winner. As the season winds down, no shows will see a negative impact since each missed round is a missed opportunity to improve or maintain a player’s position.
