Fast Times at Orchard Hills

Yes, the weather was excellent again and the turnout at Orchard Hills GC was the highest in several years, but the real story was the pace of play. I’m sure most of you tune out the appeals to “stay up with the group ahead of you” in the morning announcements. But possibly, some were listening this week. Both days we had a few groups completing play in under four hours and all groups were off the course before 2:00 PM. That was despite having over 110 golfers both days.

Maybe it was the faster play that led to the numerous low scores. Did you want to be a prize winner in flight “A”? Both days required a score of minus five, or better. How about flight “B”? Better shoot a sub-70; but that was not always good enough. Both days in flight "C” the winning score was sub-70 and no money was won in fight “D” without a score in the 70s. And, two teams shot scores of 10 under par, but I’ll let you discover who they were.

The results from Orchard Hills are now available.
