Fairways Target Golf Leagues

WEEK 5. Monday night saw some good scoring from all the teams which led to some very interesting results. Orion had their highest score of the season so far and the second highest of the night but thy were up against the team would had the highest score of the night BM Trucks. This was also the Trucks' best score of the season and preserved their unbeaten record and guarantees them a place in the top half when the split comes in two games time.
The nights most important game was between the Parahandies and the Loch Ness Juniors who were joint second behind the Trucks. Unfortunately the Juniors only scored 45, which is their lowest of the season, and the Parahandies took the win by just 7 shots.
The Sainties had a return to form and managed to beat 3 Men and Caddy who had another good score and will pose problems very soon. The Neverwillbees had the bye and in relaxed mode had one of their best totals of the season. These results leave the Juniors in joint third place with the Sainties just a point ahead of fifth placed Orion and with just two games to go before the split, six of the seven teams can still make it into the top four and the fight for the Top Team Play-off Places.
Results:
Orion 55 – 77 BM Trucks
Three Men and a Caddy 33 – 45 The Sainties
Loch Ness Juniors 45 – 52 Parahandies
The Neverwillbees (Bye) 54.

On Tuesday night games went according to the form book, more or less, but that doesn’t give you any idea how the teams played. The Fairhurst Fore, who have never really troubled the play-offs, had their best score since the Spring League in 2008 but it was only the second best of the night and, you’ve guessed it, they played the team with the highest score!
The Luckless Leadbetters were the ones and it seems that Fairhurst should borrow the first part of their name for the rest of the season. The Muirton Marvels kept alive their hopes of getting into the top four with a close win by just five over King Kenyon’s Klan and the Mad Drivers also took the points to maintain their place in the top four with a low scoring win over the Coastguards.
The Senior Moments played solidly and scored well but the Fairways fire power was enough to see them off and stay at the top of the table with the Leadbetters. With the two leaders well ahead there are only four points separating five teams between third and seventh, so with just two games left there could be some nervous moments before the split.
Results:
Fairhurst Fore 68 – 85 Luckless Leadbetters
Fairways 63 – 44 Senior Moments
Mad Drivers 26 – 11 Coastguards
King Kenyon’s Klan 44 – 49 Muirton Marvels.
