Congratulations to our honorable secretary David Howard who nudged out Noodles and Gordo to win the stableford competition today with 38 points. For some reason it was a fairly low scoring day but apart from being cold it was reasonable conditions … is the course getting harder or am I falling into the abyss 🙂

Matchplay table has been updated, In the semi finals Craig Sharp will be playing Oliver Gross and Andrew Petricola will play the winner of the David howard/Ed Kloprogge match.

Eagle man Joe Demir took out today’s Par competition with an excellent +3. I was in his group and he was hitting monster drives which spurred Mehmet into a driving contest. Joe eagled the 14th (from the 16th fairway) and a bush blocked his view but it was witnessed by the playing group. Unfortunately the eagles nest was down to one ball as it went off last week..bad luck Joe.

Congratulations to Winners and Grinners, Oliver and Craig, who won their matches in the Matchplay Competition. Commiserations to Ben and Malcolm who did well to get to this stage. They must feel the same way the Hawks do at the moment.

Kazim knocked opff the money hole and I’m sure is investing his winnings carefully 🙂

Another Monthly Medal goes to Kazim two strokes clear from Craigie Sharp who must be crying in
his cornflakes .. Well done Kazim from all of us, even Craig :-). Its interesting to note that Kazim started with 33 handicap in Mar 2008 and he’s now more than halved it .. sorry about the 15 handicap n0w Kazim!

Pepsi won the money hole and yours truly the ball hole.

The Eagles Nest was finally won by Mehmet on the 17th hole and for that he got 15 balls! Nice to see the Eagles Nest build up for a nice prize .. long gone are the days when David Primrose used to have an eagle every other week.

Welcome to two new faces this week, Bill Eastoe (who must be alright he lives near me) and Grant Heavysege (A Canadian exile with two weeks residency in Oz). Bill shot 84 and Grant 80 so we’d better watch them closely!

Neil kindly organised the club jackets and caps and some were distributed today. For those of you yet to grab yours its $25 for jacket and $7.50 for the cap. Please pick up from Neil asap.

A really exciting finish to this years Fred Howe Winter Cup. Going into the final round it looked like Andrew Petricola was a dead cert with his 40 points in round 1. Alas the field caught up with him and Ken Grist, Craig Sharp and Bob McDonald were all well placed to win. It was Ken’s final round (the best of the day) that secured the countback and his victory. The Dark Horse strikes again!! Well done Ken Grist our Winter Cup champion and commiserations to the bridesmaids who at least have their championship points as consolation.

A special thanks to our catering officer, Oliver Gross, who did a spectacular job orchestrating the best bbq we’ve ever had with exotic meats, continental breads and fancy condiments. Thanks Oliver! You’ve got the job!
