Yearly Archives: 2011

Now the Ashes are over we can all return to more enjoyable pursuits… Yes, that frustrating game we call golf.

Our first compitetion round of the year was played in magnificent Melbourne sunshine. The ball was carrying, and then rolling even further! As the results reflect, you don’t have to be a big hitter in these conditions. Consistancy, straight hitting, and staying out of trouble will produce competitive scores.

Congratulations to the first medal winner for the 2011 season Ken Grist, coming in with a 5 over back nine 38. As Rodger finished equal with Ken on 64 net, 38 back proved just good enough to secure Ken the medal on countback.

I’d like to remind members that they are resposible for the cards they sign, so please check/double check before handing them in.

Happy Christmas, and new year to all members. I trust everyone had a safe, and thourghly enjoyable time.

Our last golf day for the season again produced beautiful Melbourne conditions leaving no excuses for low scoring. The day was a social round for most members, but for those furtunate to qualify for the champ of champs it proved to be an exciting day.  

David Rees was the one to really capitalize with a fantastic round of 72 producing a net 64! A round that included five birdies! Kazim was the only one to threaten the leader(66), with three more posting scores of 67.

After a brief AGM, members were able to focus attentions towards something we could really get our teeth into. A very tatsy breakup that i’m sure all enjoyed.
