Another perfect winters morning embraced the Ivanhoe members, well, at leat after the fog left. I’m sure there were a few low scores early in the day… Albeit a little wet under foot for a few holes around the course, prefered lies has maintained a decent level throughout winter. Which should really hold the course in good stead for summer.
Rapt to be back in the driver’s seat, Chris Priems(77) relished the conditions, only nudging that talented young gopher Stefan belvski(72) out by one stableford point. Chris’s 40 points was attributed to his front nine, where he grasped every opportunity with both hands. He was even with the card about to play the eighth, then doubled nine too for a two over 37 front(23 points). Great golf Chris. Enjoy the new handicap..
Making this consecutive second place recipient Stefan Belveski(39) continues his winning golf, constantly, playing to, or bettering his par week after week. Stefan’s first real season now playing serious club golf at Ivanhoe sees him ten points clear in the 2011 Club Championship. Mo Sabih(84), and Oliver Gross take out third this week with 36 points apiece. Meaning everyone else will go out!!!
The seniors competition table is now up to date with Targe Mifsud on top spot, with the next three member chasing him down ,trailing only 4 points behind! Both tables are still very close, and with some impressive trophys up for grabs and not much time left its still anyone title.
The Treasurer has an old version of the Club Calendar which noted that the Matchplay finals were to be played next month – in fact they are to be played this Saturday. Mo and Benanananan will be playing final this Saturday and Damien with Oliver will play off for 3rd place.
Originally on the calendar there was to be an Ambrose round played on the final day – however it is too late to organise. Normal par competition will be in place instead.
What I will propose is that we conduct an Ambrose round format for next month with the famous Australia v World (not you Dave H) competition again to give the Aussie’s a chance of revenge. This will be finalised on the September meeting.
Ball hole this week was won by Noodles, and our jackpotted cash was awarded to Oliver Gross.
