Yearly Archives: 2009

We had a good turnout today but the larger crowd did not stop Targe Mifsud from slowing down the Akdag family charge and posting a win with a 43 stableford score. Close behind with a personal best off the stick was Jan Siemon with 41 points. Conditions were excellent on the day and we had a few players returning from holidays and in once case from a long stint in the UK … John Quinlan has put in his first card after returning on the realisation that living in cold, wet dark places isn’t as good as being to play golf all year round.

The handicap sheet is a bit harder to read as I had to reduce the font size on the handicap sheet just to squeeze in all the players we now have registered.

Results for today are
1st-T.Mifsud(43),2nd-J.Siemon(41),3rd-E.Bassi,R.Trevean(40),4th-J.Demir(38),5th-A.Petricola,M.Whelan(36)

Another cracking day for golf on Saturday and this was reflected in the scores. Our winner for the day was Craig ‘SNAGS’ Sharp with an impressive 74 off the stick and 43pts. Snags had some question marks about his ability to convert a solid start into a win (which his playing partners reminded him about after bogies at 10, 11 and 12) however he lifted from there on and finished off in style. In second place was the ever improving Kazim Akdag, Zimmer shot 41pts and will now move to a handicap of 18. In third place with 40pts were Tony Balcombe and Ben Akdag, also impressive scores. 39pts got 4th and 5th was 38pts….Hot Scoring.

Tony Mifsud took the money on the 15th landing 167cm from the pin.

Andrew Petricola took the eagles nest dropping a ONE FOOT putt on the 17th.

I would like to remind ALL members about booking yourself in to play. On a weekly basis we are having 1 or 2 members not turn up who have put their name down to play. With our numbers increasing you need to be mindful about this.

In other news, Rodger is recovering well in hospital. He had a couple of rough days Sat & Sun however he is now up and about and should be home sometime over the weekend. Thank you to the guys that went and seen him and gave him a call I know he really appreciated it I am sure you will continue to your support until his return to golf.

Well Mehmet Akdag started the year off in style with a convincing net 64 to win the January 2009 monthly medal by three strokes from the rest of the field. Speaking of Akdags we can now officially welcome Musti Akdag to our ranks as he now has his first official handicap (24) and will no doubt be chasing the rest of the Akdag crew for line honors this year.
The Money hole jackpotted this week so practice your short irons during the week. Targe won the NTP on the 18th with 2.7m.
