Back
to Ivanhoe this week to soggy but playable conditions which sorted the wheat
from the chaff. Paul Clarke (Net 69) won the November Monthly Medal in a countback
from Stephen O'Sullivan which now makes his club championship points probably
unassailable!
Remember Next week is a committee meeting.
Results are
A Grade) P.Clarke,G.Hill,S.O'Sullivan(69),B.Mitchell(72),D.Lee(76)
B Grade) A.Blight(70),C.Sharp,D.Ford(74),D.Nixon(75)

The
trip to Benalla was excellent as usual and we all had a great time on a long
and interesting course with lots of natural hopping hazards with pouches.
The two day stableford competition was a close thing and Allan Davies(62)
won in a countback from Craig Sharp(62), David Howard(61) ran third (on countback)
from Rodger Clarke(61). Benalla Golf Club was an excellent facility and we
had a great dinner on the Friday night followed by a nice pub dinner on the
Saturday. The course was a par 73 with long holes and raised small greens
that were tricky to stay on .. often you would here the shouts of "stop
you xxxxx" as the balls landed in the front of the greens and ran off
the back! We have booked again for next year with a new motel and it should
be great fun again.
Please
note that for clarification the Local Rules put togther by David Howard are
now added to our web site (see left side of page).
Many
of our members are travelling to Benalla this weekend for our Annual Trip
away.

Its
amazing the difference good conditions can make. Today we had all players
bar 2 or 3 do par or better. It was good to see our new member Geoff Longland
get a +7 to win B Grade and get himself straight into A Grade. El Presidente
put in another sterling performance to win A Grade with a +5 and dead eye
Trevor Jackson got to 37cms of the pin on the 12th to win the money (Hope
he put it on the Cox Plate Winner!!).
Results for today are.

you all have a fit at a 6.50am start next week, its only for 2 weeks and it
will help us retain our current group position so just go to bed a little
bit earlier on Friday :-))
Well our presidente won the day today with a top score of 38 stableford on
cored, sandy greens and deep rough..well done Gordon (and thanks for the Elvstroem
tip!). Also B Grade was jointly won by Rodger the Dodger and Craigie Sharp.

at least preferred lies. El Presidente won A Grade just to rub it in!! Well

A
Tee up day again but Chris Priems (4th from left on photo below in case you've
forgotten him) didn't mind at all...on 18th green he got his first hole-in-one
at Ivanhoe on the 18th green. This is in fact Chris's second hole in one in
9 months (I'm still waiting after 25 years) :-((. WELL DONE CHRISTOPHER.

Look
long and admiringly at the "Hardy" club...the true golfers who braved
the elements and paddled and teed up their way to full round of stableford
golf. Yes it was raining and the fairways were boggy but in the true spirit
of the club, they all finished. Well Done team!!!!!!!!!! Given the inclement
conditions it was decided to defer the Matchplay final between the two Andrews!
Good job for Mr. Petricola as Mr Tome shot a 40 in these conditions (after
a hops driven overnight diet, to boot!). PS. If you
want to keep the photo, right click as choose "Save Picture as"
or 'Save Target as"
Results for
today are.

Once
again we were paddling around in wet conditions after an overnight drenching.
David Howard proved that you can play great golf in poor conditions by blitzing
everyone with a net 61 - 7 shots clear of the rest of the field to take out
the September Monthly medal. I played with David and he put it all done to
the fact that he now has a stiff shaft!!
Results for today are
Monthly Medal winner - David Howard - Net 61
A Grade) D.Howard(61),A.Tome,P.Clarke(68),A.P'cola,S.B'field(72)

August 2004
At
last a Sunny day with a top of 26 deg! Surprisingly we had better scoring
on 14th August in the big cold day than today. Perhaps we all suffered from
unexpected sun stroke! Scoring was generally mediocre even though the fairways
were dry and the greens were still a bit soft. Chris Priems was the high scorer
with 41 points and will be glad of the win I am sure.
Results for today are.
A Grade) C.Priems(41), P.Clarke(38), S.Cole,D.Howard(35)
B Grade) K.Delzoppo(38), A.Davies,R.Clarke(36),B.McDonald(30)

Dry
conditions at last and only slightly spludgy underfoot. Obviously these new
halcyon conditions inspired Neil Argall who eventually got his new clubs to
work properly after 12 months "burning in" and put in a blistering
43 points to win B grade. Targe kept up his winning form to take out A grade
with 38 points.
Results for today are
A Grade) Targe Mifsud(38),D.Howard,B.Mitchell(36),G.Hill,S.Butterfield(35)

Congratulations
to John Quinlan who won the August Monthly Medal with a great net 60. Despite

an aggregate score of 78 stableford points...Well Done Tony!!. Paul Clarke
didn't lie down and put in the best score of the two rounds (43 points off
a 66 stroke round!) to come in second with 76 points. Tony and Paul were well
clear of the rest of the field and David Howard and Derek McDonald tied for
3rd place with 71 points each. As you all know the Winter Cup is named after

Today
had tough conditions with the play off the back tees and a very windy day.
This was reflected in the scores for the day which suited the longer hitters
in B Grade. For the first time ever we have players in B grade that got 2nd
and 3rd placings but couldn't qualify for championship points as they were
over net 73. Well done to Stuart Clarke who won the Monthly Medal on countback
from Andrew Petricola. Both players had 67 which was excellent givent the
tough conditions.
Results for today are
July Monthly Medal Winner on countback Stuart Clarke
A Grade) S.Clarke,A.Petricola(67),S.Betterfield(68),P.Clarke(69)

chipping green to decide the match in a playoff which Tony won. Stephen O'Sullivan

Paladino. Andrew Tome beat Targe Mifsud 1 up which was very close too!

One
of the next matchplay competitions was played today with Andrew Petricola
playing a blistering 70 off the stick (and 41 stableford) to beat Paul Clarke
4&3. Fairly even distribution of A and B grade players this week. We had
one of the the O'Sullivan tribe (Brendan) visit us from Shepparton and he
is our first honorary country member. His
brother (Stephen) couldn't play as he had a sore shoulder. We all put our
heads together and counted all our aches and pains and concluded that .......
Stephen's a big wimp !
Results
this week were
A Grade) A.Petricola,D.McDonald(41),A.Tome(38),J.Quinlan(37)
B Grade) A.Davies(40),S.Butterfield(37),Tony Mifsud(36)
Note. We are the seventh group off the tee on Saturdays and as the days draw

to see Fred back on the course (even though it was a Par day!). After dipping
out in the matchplay last week our fearless president picked himself up off
his feet and blitzed the Par day with the top score of +5 to win B Grade from
Stephen Butterfield with another good score of +3. A Grade winner was Chris
Priems with a +2 who I am sure will be pleased to get the 4 championship points.

KIWI GOLF EXPERIENCES
Some of you may know that I (Allan)
went over to New Zealand for 4 weeks and played at the Mount Manganui Golf
Course. I was welcomed by the club members and got myself into a Team competition
called Team Par. In this format teams of 4 players count all of their pluses
(ignoring minuses) and the team with the highest number of pluses win the
day. Well guess what our team won (they carried me .. but thats another story).
So I won $50 and they had to shout us all drinks!. It was interesting too
when I went to the course they asked what my exact handicap was (18.1 at the
time) looked up a table and told me that I would be playing off 20 at their
course. There are no course ratings as we have them in Australia (and I think
its an easier way to adjust for a particular course).
They also had loads of side bets on the games called 'funnies'. Some examples
of funnies were
gritties.
Sand up and down to save par
grannies. Never lose the honor for 18 holes
nearies.
Player closest to pin in one shot on par 3's, two shots on par 4's and three
shots on par 5's
putties.
Lowest number of putts for the round.
reggies. Best number of greens in regulation
As you can imagine you need a Phd to work out the settlement of all the bets!!
Here's a typical kiwi golf course situation :-)))
8th
May 2004
A
foggy and cold start today with a very dampish course full of soggy rough
(well at least thats how it felt to me!). B Grade put in a strong show today
and Targe put in a +3 to win with Rodger the Dodger and our new member Stephen
champing at his heels. Paul Clarke won A Grade with a -1 nudging out his bruvver
and Steve Cole.
Results for today are
A Grade) P.Clarke(-1),S.Clarke,S.Cole(-2),J.Quinlan(-3)
B Grade) Targe Mifsud(+3),R.Clarke,S.Butterfield(+2),T.Jackson(+1)

Today
was very confusing for the Golfpass players in our club. Golfpass had a Bisque
Par competition which means you can allocate your extra strokes whereever
you wish and we played ordinary Par. I think most players just said bugger
it and played ordinary Par on both cards!!! El Presidente continued his short
iron finesse and got the NTP on the 12th - again :-(

Well at least there were no injuries today, although Tony Mifsud just had
a ball miss his big toe! The weeks rain deluge started on the first 2 or 3
holes today but thereafter the fearless brave were rewarded with mild and
dry conditions. Another good day of scoring by A graders today (is
it something they ate....or drunk more likely). Our new president delegated
the results to the vice president today who (despite being a Vic PGA rules
official) cocked up the countback...but once that was all sorted out Andrew
Petricola won with 64 net on a countback from Paul Clarke.
Results.
Winner: Andrew Petricola on countback
A Grade) A.Petricola,P.Clarke(64), C.Priems(66), D.McDonald(67)

COMMITTEE MEETING NEXT WEEK. Motion on the table is the A/B Grade split.
24th
January 2004
Obviously
as the handicapper was missing for the Australia Day weekend there has been
a lot of suspicious activity.....soooo many players over 40 stableford!! Well
done Paul Clarke(42) who ousted Steve Cole and his brother (who both probably
thought they were the winner with 41 points!) into second place. Tony Mifsud
played a blinder and beat his brother too!!
Results
A Grade) P.Clarke(42),S.Cole,S.Clarke(41),A.Petricola(39)
B Grade) Tony Mifsud(41),Targe Mifsud(37),K.Delzoppo,N.Argall(34)
17th
January
2004 (Day
of the walking wounded!)
Today
something very unusual and disturbing happened...within 2 minutes on the 8th
hole two of our players were hit by golf balls. Gordon Hill was hit in the
elbow and Andrew Petricola in the nose! Being true golfers they both finished
their round!
The moral of the story is
(1) Always shout 'fore' LOUDLY
(2) If you hear 'fore' then turn away and cover your head...DON'T LOOK UP!
(3) Be careful if you have to move to a position in front of a tee to take
a shot
The two Davids (Howard and Ford) won A and B grade respectively with 39 points.
Note Andrew P. still managed a second even with his sore nose! Results were
A Grade) D.Howard(39), A.Petricola(38), C.Priems,S.Cole(37)
B Grade) D.Ford(39),N.Argall,L.Mannix(36),B.McDonald, A.Davies(34)
