The TBIS is a golfing society in Sussex with a group of around 50 people. TBIS Events are every 6-8 weeks and there is an ongoing 10 event tournament where players participate in the hope of winning the Race to the Stone.
Event 5 of the season took us to the beautiful Sweetwoods - another championship standard course with a slightly higher price tag to reflect the levelled up conditions from the norm. The Drift, which was a course we’ve previously played, was a firm favourite to date for many and this one was a strong contender for sure!
A first hole tee off that favoured a Jimmy Bullard ‘soft lemon’ special… clearly didn’t suit the majority of the 29 man field! With what felt like 50% of the team balls being lost on the 1st hole, this looked to be a tough day for most from the off! But one team that didn’t struggle in that department was the winning 3-ball combo with a 27 point win… Congrats James Page, Dan Tune and Sean Culley! After a hefty cut following his scandal win a few events ago, this might be the only thing possible for Mr Page to win… or will it!?
Another new location for the TBIS society that presented us with another new name on the tray with player of the group ‘Hefford’ taking the win! Ash Hefford, who’s been knocking at the door for some time now, secured his first TBIS win with an impressive 34 points playing off 4. It was clear from his groups feedback that there was some superb golf on display!
There was hot competition with Nearest the Pins for this one… with many getting close! James Brown, whose front 9 left many thinking an overall win was in sights (before blowing up on the back), secured one! Mr Hunt who thought he was close to celebrated this 3rd hole in one got another, leaving it just feet away! And the final 2 went to Shane Fowler and Ash Hefford!
The Pony hat went to Gary Tillot but could this be another rags to riches story with Boundary Lakes round the corner!? Either way I’m sure he’ll be welcoming the shots back!
Another cracking day for the gang! With our next event only weeks away it’s full steam ahead for the TBIS train with no breaks!
