The endless debate of who is the most successful Rim Stinger ever. How to resolve it? Well, here is our best attempt. Not definitive, and not without its faults, here is the current Rim Stinger Player Index (RSPI). If nothing else, it adds fuel to the fire of the Handicap Committee.
B. Toner’s maiden Rim Stinger has propelled him from a lowly (and unworthy) 17th spot in the index all the way to a more fitting 5th.
S Olliver had a highly successful weekend plundering the pairs, a share of the money win (courtesy of a memorable chip in birdie on the 18th), the par 5 award and a NTP. With 30 points he also had the highest average score of the weekend. He moves back onto the RS index podium at the expense of V Holmes. Definitely one for the CHC to muse upon.
M Noonan finally tasted major glory with a pairs win (the Carabao Cup of the majors, but a major nonetheless). He stays perplexingly low at 12th spot in the index (reflecting his wobbliness in the majors) but has narrowed the gap to the Top 10.
An entirely blank Rim Stinger was endured by R Aylmer, J Lourtie (very unusual but he maintains his 2nd place in the Index) and J Willson.
D Lake continued his long march to positivity with another 0.02 gained through his non-attendance strategy
