This weeks round was a busy event. In conjunction to the normal Stableford round, our second International vs Australia Pairs match was played. With a disappointing turnout of only 18 members, constructing the pairups proved difficult. Chris Priems showed his true Islander colours, while Mehmet Akdag had to tackle two Aussies at the same time.
For the record, the Aussies took out this second event 3-2.
For the rounds Championship points, a healthy number(lets call it 8) of members were able to play to par or better. Just under 50% of the field!
The eventual winner was Craig Sharp(77), who simply ate up the course without his usual cutlery(his 1wood, and 3wood). Well played Craig, an excellent start to the season. Targe Mifsud(84) missed out on the full points this week by only the smallest of margins, but can still return home happy with the full compliment of senior point.
Matchplay results: Brendon Mitchell def Harry Boughen 5&3
Eagles nest of 5 high quality balls went off on the, you guessed it, the 17th to Brendon(who seems to be a golf ball collector!)
Money hole this week was collected by Mike Mann, while Harry leaves 4 balls short of his matchplay opponent.
