Nashy turned a 25-handicap challenge into a winning 39-point feast at De Wilmereux, crowned by the Day 3 Nearest Pin prize for that delicious 10-foot shot.

At De Wilmereux, Nashy navigated a full 18 holes with a net eagle here and a net birdie there, clinching top spot with 39 Stableford points and bagging the Day 3 Nearest Pin award. A round that combined persistence, small victories, and just enough bogey charm.

A Round of Resilience at De Wilmereux
Nashy took on the challenge of De Wilmereux’s 18-hole layout, where each hole demanded precision and patience. Despite being armed with a 25 handicap—ample room for generous shot allowances—Nashy’s 94 gross score translated into a commendable 39 Stableford points, comfortably outscoring a field of four by over eight points on average.
Known for the occasional mischievous bounce, De Wilmereux threw no curveballs in terms of reported hazards, but the course’s stroke indices hinted at the tricky nature of certain holes, making Nashy’s steady accumulation of points all the more impressive.
Notable Moments and the Course’s Subtle Tests
The front nine saw Nashy cautiously earn 20 Stableford points, including a double bogey on the famously challenging first stroke index hole, the 9th, where a par was hard currency. That hiccup was offset by a strong par on the 7th hole, rated as the 7th hardest, resulting in a net eagle—proof that ground was being made in style, if not at a sprint.
Managing to rack up three-plus point hauls on six holes overall, Nashy particularly shone on holes 14 to 16, banking ten points over these tougher late-game stretches. It was during this period that the round found its rhythm, the highs tactically cushioning any errant moments.

Bounce-Backs and Course Character
True to a determined spirit, Nashy bounced back reliably after small setbacks, turning single-point holes on the 2nd, 6th, 10th, and 13th into opportunities. For instance, following a modest one-point return on the 6th—one of the trip’s par-3 tests—Nashy responded with a gutsy four points on the 7th, the ‘big points banked’ moment that steadied the card.
This pattern of steady recovery through modest holes reflects a balanced game plan: when the course served a bogey, Nashy politely accepted; when it offered a par chance, an eagle was sometimes sneakily netted—no doubt to the delight of those keeping score.
Nearest Pin Laureate and Field Supremacy
As well as scoring well overall, Nashy clinched the Day 3 Nearest Pin contest with a 10-foot effort, proving that this round was about more than just cumulative points. Among four contenders, the performance was clearly head and shoulders above, securing the top position outright, not shared, and comfortably outpacing median and mean field scores alike.
This specific accolade punctuates the round with a flourish, underscoring precision in those moments that matter.
A Round to Remember, and Worth Recalling
While Nashy’s Stableford average in previous outings hovered around 29, today’s 39 was a sparkling personal best on this trip and a cardinal reminder that high handicaps come with their own brand of heroism.
With steady improvements hole-to-hole and key moments of top-tier scoring against the course’s toughest holes, this round sings of grit wrapped in good humour. Nashy leaves De Wilmereux with a smile and the kind of scorecard that tells a story well worth sharing.
The scorecard tells of a steady march punctuated by big points on crucial holes, balanced by the occasional bogey that added character, not catastrophe.
