The 12th of November could easily go down as the round of the year!! A balmy 28 degrees, and a light refreshing breeze made very comfortable conditions. The course manages to improve by the week, with perfect fairway to green golf, and as a treat, freshly mown rough. It was a pleasure to play, and fine scoring reflected the day.
With half the field playing to par or better, a high number was anyways going to win the day. With a stunning 1 over par front 9 returning 25 stableford points, Memmit Akdag(76) cruised the back to finish with 42! And, it must be added that all round he didn’t care.. Anyways.
Second place with 41 stableford! Rodger Clarke(83) must of walked off the last quietly confident. Back to back pars, carding high, and clubhouse leader till the last card, Great round though Rodger, only 1 wipe, and two 1 pointers, the rest two, and up! Good looking card.
Ivanhoe’s ideal golfing conditions even made it conducive to some of our higher handicapped, with two happy golfers coming in third, Congatulations to Craig Sharp(81), and Trevor Jackson(93), who must still be in disbelief of not taking the full points for the round.
The header, and handicap sheet title has been updated with the last point scoring round being the December monthly medal, apologies for any confusion.
Not only will a brief meeting, consisting of committee nominations be held after this weeks round. The first Ivanhoe Golf Club swap meet will take place. So for all who have unused, unplayable, shot costing equipment you believe your fellow members could benifit from. Label it with a name, and suggested price. EVERYTHING MUST GO!!!
Ball hole won by Captain Mitchell, and the cash was eaten on the way home. Best iron player in the club, Craig Sharp!!!
