Another cold and wet end to the week, rain clouds threatening but managed to hold off thankfully for the 16 Ivanhoe stalwarts. Par was the competition for on order for the day and scoring was not easy for the most part.
There are exceptions to the norm however and there was an eventual tie for first place, Noodles and Ryan coming in with +2 on the cards. It could have been better with Noodles +3 and Ryan +5 early on, however not getting a shot on a lot of the back 9 holes brought them down to earth.
The ever reliable Michael came in with a square card but by his account left a fair bit out there. Brenden matched his score to find himself in second place too. There were a couple of minor result changes to those mentioned after the round, SOS ended the round on -1, Eddie seems to have almost recovered from his injuries and entered a score card of -2 to come in 4th place.
Finally Scubba Steve and Brent rounded out the placings with -3 for the day. There was some interest on the day in the seniors results (mostly from Simon) and Eddie took 1st place, Blighty and Bob in second on -4 and Simon took home 3rd place. I won’t say how far back Targe was from there but it was not one of his best days.
The pro pin was on the 12th and went to Jack Potts, the ball hold was on the 15th a none other than Joe hit one close to take home the prize.
Priemsy had a day to forget on the scorecard however played a memorable shot on the 10th. Stuck behind a tree, normally the Priems luck would guarantee the ball would ricochet in the direction of the green in a favourable position. Not this time however, the ball flushed the tree, flew backwards over hit head and almost hit his own bag.
There was some debate over the drafty rule and what constitutes fair prize/penalty for not making the ladies tee. Noodles had requested a pie from Blighting rather than a middy. Even though his main argument was that a pie was cheaper, the general consensus was that only a drink, beer (or coffee) would be considered acceptable. Nonetheless blight was too nice and presented noodles with a pie for all his hard work.
