The 14th of May proved to be an example of mice, and men. The weather was harsh, the fairways were flooded… But the greens were still quick! Heavy rain was endured for half the morning with little discomfort, as most had a very enjoyable round. Well done to the Thirteen brave, commitable, tragic’s that turned up, and then played. Easy points… Except for the six wet golfers who, well just ended up wet.
The bravest of them all leading the way was kazIm Akdag with a very handy 37 Stableford points(81 gross), demonstrating good golf can be played in any conditions. Richard Hall spent most of the round trying to chase down our winner, only to fall short on the 18th. But a solid round in the wet enabled Richard to card a 35(84), taking second. Andrew Blight continues his merry hunt in both tournaments this year, collecting third place points, the first in the seniors comp. Well done Blighty.
Names submitted to the clubhouse for this weekend are the same as for last Saturday. So if you had your name down for last Saturday, and are not intending to play this weekend please call Ivanhoe. Similarly, if your name was not down for last week, and you wish to play.
Even with the torrentual weather, members still took some time out for a go at the new internet sensation “planking”. I hear the craze even made it into the pro-shop. I don’t really know, make up your own minds…
For all members who enjoyed last years “VHJ” cab-sav, and for those wanting to grab a good deal. This years pallet has been ordered, and sold at the same price of $125 per dozen. See Jan for further details.
Ball hole again went off, as no one wrote their name down! Money jackpotted!
