December Monthly Medal 2008
Congratulations to Neil Iuculano our final monthly medal for the year. Neil shot a net 60 ! 3 clear of the field. Andrew and Targe, who had 63’s, must have thought they had it in the bag :-).
The Calcutta was conducted today and there is a very healthy pot for the winners.
CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP 2008
CHRIS PRIEMS is our Club Champion for the year with 96 points .. well done from all of us Chris a great performance and shows your consistency is better than all us poor souls.Our presidente, Stuart fought all the way for a valiant second and was eight points behind (who knows what would have happened last week if the weather hadn’t been so bad…we’ll never know!!). Kenny Grist, the dark horse, lived up to his name and made a late charge for 3rd spot.
OTHER TROPHIES
Some of the newer members may not know but we have 3 special trophies for the the best three rounds of stroke, stableford and par. We now have the results which are (wait for it!)
Best 3 rounds of par – Damien Lee (+14 total)
Best 3 rounds of stableford – Mehmet Akdag (127 points)
Best 3 rounds of stroke – David Rees (191 strokes)
For those older members as we embark on our round next week, we’ll be remembering Vin, his irish sense of humour, tenor voice, pink tees and his ability to swim underwater while playing golf 🙂
Tee time correction
Please note tee time is 7.20am next week.
TURF’N’DIRT
A PACK OF WIMPS
My sources tell me not one member of our club completed their round last week, yet the pink slipper club played out the eighteen holes. Either we’re a pack of wimps or they are a pack of idiots. I’ll let you be the judge.
SEVENTEENTH CALCUTTA
This Saturday we will be holding our seventeenth Calcutta. For the newer members who have’nt witnessed one before it goes like this.
Its a chance to launder some black money as we auction off the players in the Annual copetition. All of the proceeds are returned to the members in the following manner. 70% goes to the buyer of the winner, 20% to the buyer of second place and 10% to the buyer of the third place getter. So open up those cheque books and be prepared to loose your dough. Winners will be notified by a postcard from the Bahamas.
Until next time,
Hit them straight and not very often

22nd November – Abandon Ship!!
Well today the heavens opened and we got hail and torrential rain and for the very first time in the clubs history all players abandoned the round.
Note. As no rounds were completed handicaps and championship points stay the same and in theory the nearest the pin QUADRUPLES (that means players who turn up next week and didn’t come out on this rainy day will have to put in an additional dollar!).
Here are the photos taken immediately after the hail. This looks like snow on the course in November!!
