Played in this format of the game, par often proves difficult for Ivanhoe members. 9th July brought forth not only a great morning for golf, but a really positive scoring day for competitors. All championship points for this round were acclaimed to +1 or better!! Barring injuries, only two players submitted less than -3. Well played gentleman. Maybe Par isn’t that bad? (preferred lies helps)…
The best round carded for the round belonged to Mehmet Akdag, with an incredible 76 off the stick earning +6! Apparently Mehmet’s good form was financially motivated, taking Andrew Petricola’s(69 gross!) coins. Andrew didn’t leave empty-handed with a +4, receiving second place championship points. Bitt stiff Pres..
That handy gopher Stefan belevski(70) continues his push for this years title, again playing to a handicap most of us will only dream of. Joining Stefan on +3, was Harry Boughen(86) whose back nine contained 5+’s! Good going guys, and good luck to you both in the race to December.
Mo Sabih(83) continues in his knack of handing in respectable cards, and obviously enjoying his golf. Slowly starting to gather momentum this season Jan Siemon(80) has now placed in his last three starts, and looks ominous to threaten the leaders in months to come. Mo, and Jan share fourth place with +2.
Rd 1 of the Fred Howe Winter cup commences this weekend, so two stableford rounds, combined scores, and a big trophy to the winner. With Pepsi’s bucks day first week, and wedding the next, the field for this year’s cup is slightly reduced. Double Points, up for grabs, and a chance to be engraved into immortality.
With the disruption in regards to tee Marshall, all those unavailable for next following weeks will be sloted back into the rotation once returned.
