A BEAUT day for golf, albeit chilly on the last few holes.
A tidy-up on the course especially the rough made things look reasonable.
The fairways are looking very ordinary, with many bare patches – the snails are doing enormous damage.
Preferred lies are the order of the day.
Players are reminded that this only applies to the fairways. The first round of the Hely Family Monthly Medal was played.
A good field of 25 players turned up. The tension on the result was high, as three players tied on 72.
The computer and Captain gave the results: Tim Barnes first, Nathan Melville second and Roger Clemens third – all on 72 nett.
Nearest the Pin: – 3rd/12th – Geoff Watts again and nearly on an ace. 18th – Tim Barnes Money Hole – Jig Denby.
Other good scores: Adam Hely – 73 nett Greg Barratt – 74 nett Lance Anderson – 76 nett It was also the final of the JBS King Island Beef Champion of Champions monthly medal.
This was the last of this sponsored event and it was won by Daisy Quach. Congratulations to her on a fine win.
AROUND THE TRAPS
“I’M not doing anything wrong,” was quote and play of the week.
The third saw Rod Graham into the bunker for his first shot. It took seven shots to get out of the bunker.
Yes, the first six shots were perfect, all a metre short and all rolled back into the bunker.
The end result was an 11 and winner of the Moose Award. Rod donated this magnificent trophy and was the first to win it.
NEXT WEEK a stableford pairs aggregate event – so members organise a partner.
