Not sure what the weather was like in Melbourne but it was a pea-souper up here in Queensland until almost ten o’clock. Whatever the weather, it doesn’t seem to have affected the scoring and if you didn’t match your handicap or better, you weren’t in the points.
Well done RodW for a mighty impressive +5. That will set you back a bit on the handicap front, just in time for the Winter Cup that kicks off next week. Gilbert and Mostyn haven’t wasted any time settling in to their recently acquired player status and settled for equal second with +3. Gilbert could easily have been further back in the field if it hadn’t been for an eagle on the 17th. That would have collected him four balls leaving the big bird absolutely devastated with the loss of her little family.
Stefan, Damo and RodG must have thought themselves a chance with a very respectable +2 but eased out the other points scorers Targe and Brendon.
Brendon also managed to gather himself a ball by picking up the Nearest the Pin on the 12th with Stefan collecting the ProPin on the 18th.
Ken and AndrewB played their third round Matchplay and Ken ended up victorious though at this stage the margin is not known.
For the Seniors, RodG, Targe and Mo collected the points but the table has barely changed and the competition is still wide open.
Dick mustn’t have been doing so well so he tried to take out a couple of the leaders with a well directed ricochet from a tree and nearly collected RodW and Mostyn. SOS also had his moments playing a quite brilliant recovery after a bit of a duff to be within a metre only to take a triple putt to get it into the hole. It was on the 14th though.
Chrispy started off in the pink (well his ball was anyway) but he ended up playing with a white B51 (where’d he find that one? – in a hazard somewhere?).
It also seems that Stefan tried a new form of sledging with Zimmer but he got some of his own back and it didn’t come off – well not until his daks went into the wash.
The handicaps for those that broke have been adjusted but not the rest of the field which will be done on Wednesday. The Championship tables have also been updated manually but will be reposted when the official handicap run is done.
