Windy conditions greeted golfers, preferred lies continued, and the Sun once again shone on the hallowed grounds of Ivanhoe Lakes. Congratulations must firstly go to the groundskeepers(and yellow dog), for their tireless effort in making this round possible. Secondly, the continued success of Targe Mifsud.
Andrew Petricola… What more does one need to hear. The man can purchase a house, start a business, and even make a lady say yes! In the spare time, he presides over our club, and constantly hands in competitive cards. Was the Pres’s day. 69 of the stick for an incredible 41 stableford points(off 6!). Well done Andrew, good to see the seniors now having to work for their championship points.
Targe Mifsud continues on his merry way to December silverware, with a very solid 79 gross giving him 40 stableford points. One would have assumed good enough for his third win of the season. With almost a three shot deduction in handicap already this year, I’m sure Targe was happy to take the champ points for second, and move into top place on our leaderboard. Notable names rising up the table were Damien Lee, Stefan Belevski(backing up last weeks medal win), and Emilio Bassi who just stays in the points.
Matchplay has already begun, only one week after the draw. I’ve been informed that a very close game was played between Kazim Akdag, and Jan Siemon. With the later coming through 3 and 1. Well done Jan, good luck in the second round.(Kazim could you please update the matchplay section of the website)
