What a start to Spring!!! Ivanhoe members could not have asked for more. Gorgeous sunshine, perfectly mown fairways, and unbelievably commented on fast greens!!! For those lucky regulars, maybe it’s time to pay some cash, and shut the gates. That we are truly chosen is rapidly becoming an understatement. WIth chip, and run already in play, the big hitters must be licking their lips for whats in store for the pursuing months.
Medal day format is always daunting for the majority of competitors, alas one seasoned professional always seems to bring his A game early in every month. Our ever consistent President Andrew Petricola(70!) precisely, and patiently played his way into a countback for the September Medal with an unlucky Brendon Mitchell(81). Brendon has only recently helped welcome into the world a beautiful baby girl, and the club passes on all best wishes. unfortunately Brendon, sometimes you can’t have it all. Both receiving the full champ points, the 1 stroke handicap deduction, a trophy(only one given in alphabetical order of first name), and a new golf ball. Well played Gentlmen.
All out on his own for second was Paul Anderson(87), claiming his highest finish down at Ivanhoe. Good work Paul, scoring becomes addictive, the handicap must be punished. Mike Mann(91) continues to enjoy the 2011 season, always in and about the points. Mike takes third place, and also collects maximum points in the seniors competition, which i have to admit looks all a little confused at the moment(we are onto it).
Ball hole went to Ken Grist, and the cesh will roll into next week.
