Well, earlier in the week, the weather forecasts didn’t look too good for today’s outing but as it turned out it was a beautiful day even if a little chilly to start with. Despite the good weather, only two people managed to better their handicap while some of the results were downright ordinary. At the end of the day, it was Priemsy who saluted and adds another trophy to his, by now, bulging cabinet. Oliver was pipped at the post with a stumble on the last.
Although some of the ladies tees were well forward of the mens it does seem that there were a few instances of not making the distance. There was some dispute about David Howard’s and a decision of ‘on the line’ didn’t please some.
One match play result today with Gordy overcoming Noodles 4 & 3. Noodles went on the score a birdy and a par on the one hole – the birdy by flinging his club from the tee. Poor little mud lark. For the rest of the match play field, time is starting to run short for the completion of the second round.
Damo thought he had done well out of his eagle on the seventeenth until someone remembered the Rodger had picked one up a few weeks ago so the nest wasn’t quite as full as he had hoped – well done all the same. Oliver scored a ball on the 12th while Brendon picked up the jackpotted cash on the 15th. Just a reminder to put the distance on the card even if you are in the last group and, according to the rules, the money card has to be signed by your marker.
Also just to wish our injured members a speedy recovery. Mal Adey will be off for a while yet with his ankle and Mal Fleming took a trip and damaged his ribs, pelvis and lip. The lip required some surgery apparently. Looking forward to seeing you on the course again soon fellows.
