Well, there you go. It was a small field but there was lots of excitement.
First off, Noodles seems to have pulled himself (together – not the other) and put together a respectable round to lead the comp into the second round by the narrowest of margins from Oliver and Targe. It looks as if the last group to tee off will be the one to watch with a fierce contest guaranteed.
However, there is plenty of scope for those lower down the leaderboard to make a move and snatch the much prized trophy from the leaders. Chrispy might struggle a bit to make up the lee-way but at least he won’t have to cook the bar-b-que as it seems that the threat of inclement weather has changed the lunch options to pizza. Maybe he will have to get on his bike and collect them.
The other exciting news from the round was the spectacular effort by Brendon on the 15th when he lobbed it into the hole from the tee to collect a hole-in-one and the Eagles Nest to boot. Well done Brendon.
As of last Thursday, the wayward eight iron was still delicately nestled in the branches of the gum tree beside the 18th tee though it did appear that there was not a lot other than the laws of physics keeping it there. But it seems that on Saturday it came tumbling down, not quite into the arms of its erstwhile owner SOS but pretty near to some other members of the field. Hope SOS hadn’t gone out and bought a replacement.
