Steve "Winny" Winyard                  Back to Tour List

 

 

Oh how dreams really can come true!!!!

 

Winnie wins his first tour with a magnificent 35 under, had to make a par four down the last at Dinard to do it and made a tricky four foot putt.

Wins the 2011 tour with the last putt on the last green.

 

Brilliant !!!!!

Winnie is one of the more easily encouraged and frequently misled golfers. Lived next door to TC for many years and, even now, tries to shift the blame for those all too frequent occasions when he arrives home in a pathetic state.

Sings like an angel.

Hits a good long ball too often in the wrong direction but he knows where the bar is and that's what really matters.

 

 

Handicap:                15

Tours Attended:     Four

Tour Wins :            None until now, and, to be honest,  none were expected and then this happens. Winnie has won his first tour!!!!!

Hall of Shame :     None, but there's always next year.

2011 Form

Opened with a solid 38 points and followed it with a 37. The dents came at Dinard and Le Tronchet with a pair of 33's, but they contained 5 xthree pointers and a four pointer, so he stayed in contention, but only just. 

But the front nine scores needed some attention. the opening five holes at Des Ormes did him no favours at all with 1,0,1,0,0, just 2 points in five holes.

Suddenly, the sensible head came back. At a windy Granville Winnie needed a good start. Fail now, and it would surely be all over.

A nineteen point front nine that contained a four pointer (and a blob at the 9th) did wonders for the eclectic score.

 

So, it was all down to the final day. Winnie had to produce Player A at Dinard. No easy task. A thumping 38 points and an 8 point last day move gave Winnie a total of 35 under.

 

Then the agony of the wait to see what everyone else had done. It turns out that the Swede had equalled that score. who had the better back nine?

 

By two points, it was Winnie. Let Joy be unconfined.  Last putt, last green. It could not have been closer.

2012 Outlook

The spring has sprung, the grass has riz, I wonder where my putter is” is Steve's Marching song. Who knows what 2011 will bring?

Is he the wisest man on tour or has he missed the point?  Only time will tell. In summary, a confident outlook and some new grips will take him far, but will it be far enough? he won one tour..... can he do it again??????

Napster Forecast: Could be very dangerous but ........ there could be a last place lurking there too.
