Results for Febuary 26th Australia vs World(2 ball best ball)

 

We are all a very lucky bunch of tragics at the home of golf. Even without the benefit of prefered lies, conditions couldn’t have been better for our first International challenge. The sun was shinning, and the balls had some roll. Proven by the six members capable of scoring 36 stableford points or better.

Our first two ball best ball(Australia vs Internationals) round proved to be a roaring success, with the majority of members calling for more in the future. Especially the beaten Australians who are hellbent on a re-match. The new format was played in adjunct to a competition round, so the Stableford points accrued for the round potentially earned Championship Points. Well done to the Internationals, who narrowly beat their competitors 5-1. Am sure we all look forward to testing the metals again.

After being soundly beaten the week before in the first matchplay round, our youngest member Kazim Akdag showed what he is capable of.  His 78 off the stick for 42 stableford points(5 points clear of second) demonstrated the untapped potential that threatens this years leaderboard. Well done Kazim, and welcome to your new handicap just in time for monthly medal.

The club championship is starting to heat up. After a very generous head start, the juniors are starting to climb their way into the top ten. With Andrew Petricola, Damian Lee, and Stefan Belevski(what a good gopher) leading the charge.

A few notable performances accomplished on the day were: Andrew Blight’s fantastic tee shot from the 15th(photo right), which led to a tap in birdie and a hole win for the Australian team. Both Craig Sharp, and Damian Lee managed to pitch in from identical positions about 40m out on the 11th. Damian for birdie, and Craig for par. We almost had an albatross on the 14th, with jan Siemon driving the green, and the ball rolling just past the hole!

If anyone has photos that are worthy of the website, or just a good laugh for members please send them to me at jansiemon@live.com.au.
