Saturdays round was almost a case of the Ivanhoe curators showing off! With our constantly improving course, and always perfect playing conditions, no wonder this years Presidents Cup committee are considering a change.
After last weeks dismal stableford performance by the attending members, it was worthwhile having another crack at it. Nine competitors this week were able par or better, with a few fantastic cards being handed in.
Welcome back, and congratulations to Laurie Mannix(85) who has been absent for a duration, letting the course dry out a tad. Laurie’s return round was an absolute cracker, and would now prove difficult for him to miss any Saturday for the remain of the season. Without as much as a practise swing Laurie stood, and delivered achieving 42 points! Well done mate, and great to have you back.
Second place this week went to Oliver Gross, whose 73 of the stick, giving him 41 points has the right to feel a little hard done by. Also unlucky due to results was Jan Siemon(79) for 39 points, which would of been good enough the week before.
Well played to most members, who demonstrated practise, determination can pay off. Now, lets see if we can all keep up the good form for next weeks MOnthly Medal. Yes, that’s right. The October Monthly Medal will be played this forthcoming Saturday, being the 24th due to a shotgun start on Grandfinal Day. So a special reminder to all members to bring your A game, and your club shirts.
Laurie kept his winning way taking the cash, as well as the day. Really can’t remember who won the ball, but assume the way things went Laurie received that as well.
