Winter is here to stay and 16 fearless competitors tested their nerve against Mr Freeze himself (not the Schwarzenegger kind). This week was the return of the yellow ball (or orange ball if you ask Chrispy) and everyone was keen as mustard to get their chance to get a +1 for their team.
It was fairly low scoring from the field with only 1 person playing to their handicap, with Gordon putting in a consistent effort to end up square and to take home the 8 points. What makes this feat even more extraordinary is that he was scoring partners with Eddie!
In equal 2nd place on -1 was some of our newer members in Mark Berthelsen and Taner Kemal. Still plenty of time in the year to catch up to the leaders from here lads after some promising scoring.
Equal 3rd on -2 was Noodles, Craig Cameron, SOS and Ryan. Noodles has put in a solid few weeks with 3x 3rd placing’s and a win in the last month. It must be all that swiping on his phone (left for no, right for yes??) which is well transferring into his swing rhythm. SOS was pre-occupied from the 13th hole onwards and was seen picking flowers rather than worrying about where his ball ended up. Ryan found himself right behind the tree on the 17th, and after calling out that he would hit it through the fork in the tree, it slotted through the gap and ended up a few feet from the hole for an easy birdie.
Speaking of birdies there were only 8 scored today which coincides with the tough conditions and consequent low scoring. Ed ended up on -3 and 4th place overall.
There were 9 point scorers in total and it could have been more if it wasn’t for Bob’s -4, as there were a few unlucky souls on -5 who just missed out on championship points.
There were only two teams who finished the round with the yellow ball intact. Winners on the day were Gordon, Ed, Craig C and Taner who ended up on +4. Bonus points have been awarded although there was talk about the fairness of the bonus point system which I’m sure will be put to bed in the near future.
IGL results for the weekend are as follows, with the Hawks, Tigers and Magpies all having wins.
