David Ford Autumn Cup Round 1

Its hard to believe its still autumn when we had a sunny 27 degree day!.

A good turnout for the first round of the David Ford Autumn Cup competition with some solid scores for the first round with the leaders on +3. The groups have been worked out and I’ll post them on the site if someone can send me the list.

Club shirts were handed out today so if you haven’t got yours yet see Gordon next week.

Rodger also requested deposits for the Echuca trip in November .. I think $50 is the amount required.

Don’t forget there is a barbecue after the game on Saturday so stay and enjoy a first class sausage.

Handicapping note.
Handicaps are the same as for the first round. Once the overall competition placings are sorted out then the handicaps and points are calculated for both weeks so the handicaps for the 1st May will reflect both rounds of the Autumn cup.

Barnbougle Trip Photos

There’s some nice photos from the Barnbougle trip on 8th April. They can be viewed in Club Photos (right side of screen) under the 2010 year. Thanks Gordo!

Results for 10th April 2010

Once again our club captain, Damo, puts in a solid win 3 stableford points clear of the field with Noodles and Bill coming up in second place.Sharpie took the money which is becoming a habit now!
Not sure if any matchplay matches took place so please let me know any results.

Conditions were quite cool now that the record warm period has broken and we’re heading into Autumn …

… speaking of Autumn

DAVID FORD AUTUMN CUP

Next week is the start of the two round David Ford Autumn Cup played in the PAR format. David is one of our true foundation members from the clubs origins in the old SEC where Trevor, David and Steve used to work and started playing at Royal Ivanhoe. This is a two week PAR competition so you need consistency for both rounds. Good Luck to everyone especially Gordo who is defending his win from last year.

Results for April Monthly Medal – 3rd April 2010

Excellent win today for our April monthly medal winner  Craig Sharp with a net 63 and continuing his fine form. Runner up was the best sausage sizzler in town Oliver Gross with net 64 and Rodger and Noodles a credible third. At the other end of the scale were several people, many in fact, that had net 80s or worse I should know I was one of them. Still its not often I get an airy and a 5 putt in the same round so I was quite proud of myself.

Matchplay winners today were Rodger Clarke who got a walkover as Trevor had to retire after 9 holes when the match was square but his back wouldn’t copy..bad luck Trev. Mal Adey was too good for Neil and won the match 4&3.

Great to see our exclusive kiwi member Brendon Mitchell over from the UK, even if it was just for one round (he must be earning heaps!). He wasn’t here more than 5 minutes and he was getting an earful about the cricket but pointed out the NZ Rugby was in much better shape than Oz. It was fitting that Gordon Hill, 2005 President, was able to give Brendon the trophies he was unable to pick up for the last 5 years!!

Richard Hall is now back from his cricket season and is officially back on the payroll from the 3rd April..welcome back Richard.
