Results 20th June 2009 – Day of the Akdag Wunderkinds
Our old president Vin O’Meara used to do the handicapping based on ‘potential’…well we don’t need to do that with todays winner, he’s done it all himself and halved his handicap down to 17 from a starting handicap of 34! Well done Kazim. Right behind was Mehmet breathing down Kazim’s neck two strokes behind. Well done to the Akdag clan (ps what happened to Ben and Musti??).
Results for today are
1st Kazim Akdag(63) 2nd Mehmet Akdag(65) 3rd John Quinlan(66) 4th Chris Priems(67) 5th Tony Mifsud(68) 5th Andrew Petricola(68) 5th Jan Siemon(68)
NTP. Jackpot.
Ruling needed on unusual lie.
Neil’s buggy is located on the fairway well down the 3rd – almost to the big tree. Joe Demir in the group behind tees off and his ball bounces once and lodges in Neil’s bag between clubs. It could have been only 20 metres short of the green the way it was travelling. Distance is indicated by “How far” top photo.
Neil threatened to keep walking with the ball lodged in his bag for the rest of the round and see if Joe could find it. Targe, Mal Adey and I talked him out of that.
– Gordo.
Results 13th June 2009 – Silly Hat Day
Congratulations to our winner today, the only player, with a silly hat, who beat their handicap
David Howard with a solid 38 points. Joe Demir put in a good round for second and last weeks winner Damo was in for third. For myself I can summarise my day with the photo on left 🙂 .. the result of my tee shot on the twelfth.
Nobody took out the money today so we have a jackpot to next week.
Three quarter final matchplays were held today and Ben, David and Andrew go through to the semi finals. Outstanding quarter round matches are Oliver Gross vs Neil Argall and Ken Grist vs Craig Sharp
The silly hat award though goes jointly to Gordo and Snags for their creativity using two hats rather then one 🙂

June Monthly Medal Results 6th June 2009
A real scrap by the low handicappers today with Damien Lee shooting 70 off the stick and net 62 taking out the June monthly medal pipping out the second place getter Andrew Petricola who shot 69 off the stick! with a net 63. All I can say is that I’m glad that I don’t have a single figure handicap .. too much stress!! :-). Its also great to see the overall scoring with more than half the players in the next sixties.
Damo now leads the championship table with 45 points after this excellent win. Note he also won the clubhouse comp with net 58!
Trivia .. Checkout Mehmets championship points, he’s got one first, one second, one third, one fourth and one fifth .. glad I’m not a superstitious golfer!
Full Results today are
1st and Monthly Medal Winner Damien Lee(62)
2nd Andrew Petricola(63) 3rd David Howard(64) 4th Richard Hall(65) 5th Harry Boughen(66) 5th S Butterfield(66) 5th Bob McDonald(66) 5th John Quinlan(66)
Results for 30th May 2009
It was 3 degrees when I left home this morning .. coldest morning so far this winter. The chill didn’t stop Tony Mifsud from winning the day with an excellent 40 points closely followed by the dynamic duo Rod Grant and Harry Boughen with 39. Turned out a nice day with sunshine and 17deg, although the temperature got a lot hotter for a certain young person who was observed practising bowling….or was it throwing his ball at his bag….its not the balls fault Zimmer!!
Welcome to Richard Hall who had his first round with his new handicap today.
One matchplay was completed today…Eddie knocked off our championship leader Jan 3 & 1. So far Malcolm and Ed are the first two quarter finalists. Neil and Tony were disappointed their matchplay partners didn’t show today.
Results for today are
1st Tony Mifsud(40) 2nd Harry Boughen(39) 2nd Rod Grant(39) 3rd Neil Argall(38) 3rd Damien Lee(38) 4th Laurie Mannix(37) 5th Ken Grist(36) 5th John Quinlan(36)
