\"Stefan<\/a>
It’s mine, all mine….<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What a day to wind up the Winter Cup for this year.\u00a0 A bit on the wintry side to start with just a hint of a breeze developing as the day progressed.\u00a0 The course was wet under foot after the drenching it got last week and the preferred lie rule was in place.\u00a0 And, no, it doesn’t refer to your best tall story about your golfing adventures.\u00a0 There were a few muddy balls that needed cleaning and one player who forgot to air his bag after lasts week’s soaking was borrowing ball cloths because his was freakin’ reekin’.<\/p>\n

And who was it that was able to slay the three headed dragon?\u00a0 Not St George, but our own St Efan whose tightly clad steed trampled all over the course to score 41 points and front the judges with 76 overall.\u00a0 The terrible twin, Zimmer put in a steady 37 points to tie with Oliver, who could easily have taken the big prize, on 74 points.<\/p>\n

There was a glimmer of daylight then to Gordon and Craig four points further back followed closely by Damo.\u00a0 So, in the scheme of things, the three heads of the dragon managed to stay pretty much in contention.\u00a0 The biggest mover of the day was Noodles who dragged himself into fifth spot alongside Chrisper (and I don’t mean the thing in the bottom of your fridge) though if you believed the reports coming from around the track he should have won the thing easily.\u00a0 It is suspected that there might have been a little exaggeration going on from some of his playing partners.<\/p>\n

There weren’t a huge number of Seniors in the main ranks and the only points went to Oliver, Gordon and Harry who didn’t seem to be able to sink a putt to save himself.<\/p>\n

The outcome of all this is that Oliver is extending his margin on both of the points tables but, don’t despair, there are still plenty of points on offer and maybe the handicap will start to bite even though he has been able, cunningly, to minimise the damage on that score.<\/p>\n

The Nearest the Pin was on the 7th and Noodles managed to win the ball after blocking anybody else out, unless they scored the ace that he barely missed by the margin of a couple of centimetres.\u00a0 Two nearly HIOs in two weeks.\u00a0 That’s downright careless chaps.\u00a0 The ProPin on the 12th was not nearly such a close run thing and Targe will collect the cash when he gets back from Nurmurkah.\u00a0 Not sure whether he had a bad round or was in such a rush to get away that he forgot but there was no card in the pile for him.\u00a0 Ditto for Ben.<\/p>\n

Despite there being at least a couple of balls on the green from the tee on the 17th, there were no eagles and the pool is now off the ground floor.\u00a0 The birdie tally was 14.<\/p>\n

Nobody switched off SOS’s fancy buggy but he did lose control coming up the hill to the 9th and it hit one of the pipework ruts and capsized spilling balls, tees and other odds and sods far and wide.\u00a0 Unfortunately, there were no cameras handy to record the carnage.<\/p>\n

Ben and Whitey did a great job of cooking the snags on the barbie and they were wolfed down in short order.\u00a0 So much so that Whitey had to make a trip to the shops for another pack.\u00a0 Zimmer got over-excited after his mate Stefan was presented with the winners cup and tripped over Davids buggy and got mud all up his trouser leg.\u00a0 His main concern was what would his mum say!<\/p>\n

The third round of the matchplay is coming up to its advertised completion date and there don’t seem to have been too many matches completed so far, so better get your skates on chaps and organise your competition for the fray.\u00a0 We wouldn’t want to see it going more than a week over the limit.<\/p>\n
