The 2011 season seems to be disappearing at an alarming rate. Was just recently we celebrated christmas, and now the August medal has been ran, and won! SO, for all those members planning a late charge up the leaderboard it’s time to hit the range, and produce some top finishes.
Medal days are renown for bringing the best out of the Ivanhoe faithful, and this years August medal was no exception. With two superb rounds of 64 nett, Bill Eastoe(76), and Andrew Petricola(70) had to wait through multiple countbacks before declaring Andrew this years August Medal recipient. Both receive top championship points, and the handicap deduction. Well played gentleman, at least you won a ball Bill…
For our recently married President Andrew Petricola, life continues to get better, and better. Not only was he fortunate a few weekends ago with his beautiful wife to be saying “YES”, he has taken all our money for the second week in a row, secured a third, and first to move up to outright second in the club championship, and last Saturday added a new member to the Petricola family. We here are happy to be the first to bring you Archie Petricola the British Bulldog. Amazing how quickly a pet can take on the characteristics of their owners. When things are this good , why wouldn’t you smile.
Well deserved 8 points goes to Bill Eastoe, who is a little unlucky to run into the Pres on one of those rounds. Even still Bill should be pleased his equalling round of 64 which was 5 strokes better than second! So close Bill. In a welcome return to form, or perhaps now the unusual round Chris Priems(82) joins Gordon Hill(83) for second place both carding 69 nett. Taking third place this week was kaZim Akdag(81), and Brendon Mitchell(85) competing in his first championship round since returning from abroad. Welcome back Brendon, who managed the round like an Ivanhoe Pro… Take some points, and still go out!
Championship tables are just getting closer, and closer as the season approaches an end. Only two points separate the top four in the main comp, and only four points for the first four in the seniors comp. Our two Juniors(yes I know, sorry Stefan) are now our joint leaders, which is sure to be exciting to at least watch/comment on for the next few months.
All our money, as previously stated is off to Caroline Petricola again, while the ball hole marker didn’t make an appearance last week. Rumour is that we may be playing two ball holes this week.
