Perfect conditions, a healthy competition, and the opportunity to make it through to the second match play round lured a large turnout for this weeks stableford round. With almost eight full groups, putting your name down early for the following week is becoming more, and more important to guarantee a game.
We had two winners this week, both handing in excellent cards of 40 stableford points. Andrew Petricola continues to fly the flag for the juniors, rapidly staking a claim for the 2011 club championship. When you play of a 5 handicap, one needs to shoot a 69 of the stick to achieve this result! Our other winner for the round was Chris Priems, who would be absolutely loveing his return to form after a horrible start to the season. Well done to both our deserved winners.
Six match play rounds were completed this week, with some big wins recorded. The battle of the brothers turned into a bit of a fizzer, with the loser heading straight to the car, and home for a bit of self-contemplation. Andrew Petricola must have been relieved to make it past his nemesis(Mal Fleming) of last year. The most interesting result has to be Oliver’s win. Scoring 7 stableford points less than Harry, and still managing to go through 5&4! The 7th of May is the last chance for round 1 matches to be played. Match play results from Saturday:
Ben Akdag def Laurie Mannix 3&2
Andrew Petricola def Mal Fleming 4

Congratulations to all our weekends winners, and good luck in the second round.
Reminder to all members that club shirts are to be worn for the Stuart Clarke Memorial Trophy commencing this Saturday.
