If only I’d repeated this shot….<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Spring is sprung, the grass is ris, I wonder where the birdies is.\u00a0 They say the birds is on the wing, ain’t that absurd, blind Fred can see the wings is on the bird.\u00a0 Yes it’s official, the equinox marks the start of the astronomical spring (in this hemisphere at least).\u00a0 Theoretically, it can only get warmer from here on in.<\/p>\n

Whether it was the planetary alignments or whether it was the weather, the scores returned today were something of a mixed bag.\u00a0 Nobody busted out of their skin though Gordon could have broken par on the back nine with a hole-in-one on the 18th, repeating his performance of a couple of months back.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be and he had to share the winners laurels with Mehmet who also put in a pretty respectable back nine with 37 off the beater.<\/p>\n

Pepsi held his own on the handicap front to finish square and take the second podium spot on his ownsome.\u00a0 As an aside, the second is the only hole that Pepsi hasn’t plodded a birdie so far this year.\u00a0 Noodles, Blighty and Jan also played steadily to come third on -1.\u00a0 Of the six that filled the first three places, three of them played off a handicap of 13 – who said it was an unlucky number.<\/p>\n

Targe dubbed the group he played with a lot of old farts but he was the only one to make the placings along with another couple of old farts (sorry) Mike and RodG with a reasonably respectable result of -2.\u00a0 Targe was also heard to declare during the round that he was too short – who’d have thought it.\u00a0 Despite having his car removed by unauthorised persons last week, Mostyn gathered himself another Championship point alongside Craig with -3.\u00a0 Mostyn did have to call upon assistance to confirm that his Nissan (Cedric?) really was not in the carpark after the game last week.<\/p>\n

The 4th was nominated as the nearest the Pin ball hole and whether it was too early in the round there weren’t a huge number of contenders with Stefan taking out the prize.\u00a0 If placement in the round is any guide, the ProPin should have been covered in names but as it turned out there was only one and Mike Mann picked up the cash from just over 2 metres.\u00a0 An average tally of birdies at eleven for the day and the feathers of the eagle were unruffled.<\/p>\n

Eddie and Stefan fought it out for the top spots in the matchplay.\u00a0 As they approached the 10th green, Eddie reported that Stefan was giving him a thrashing but the final result suggests that this might have been a slight exaggeration.\u00a0 But then again, Eddie wouldn’t exaggerate, would he?\u00a0 The final result of a 4 and 3 victory to Stefan brought some relief to committee members after an early report that the match had ended all square which would have required a sudden death play-off.\u00a0 The injection of (double) points for the four finalists have made some moves on the table but Oliver is still comfortably in front.<\/p>\n

Although the weather was calm, things got a bit draughtie out there particularly when Noodles was on the 2nd and 3rd tees.\u00a0 There was a rumour that his playing partners forgave him one of his transgressions.\u00a0 Hope he had to do some sort of penance – a Hail Mary at least!<\/p>\n

The position of the pin on the 14th proved to be fairly tricky with quite a few putts from the top side finishing further from the hole than they started.\u00a0 But the one that really hurt was AndrewB who putted up hill to have the ball stop and run back to finish further back that he started.\u00a0 The saving grace was that he sank the longer putt.\u00a0 Should have done that the first time Andrew.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget that next week is Footy Grand Final Day.\u00a0 There will be an early start at 0750 and they will be teeing off the 1st and the 10th.\u00a0 However we have arranged that our groups will all tee off from the 1st.\u00a0 It is a normal Club Event and Championship Points will be up for grabs so a chance to pick up a few on the die-hard footy fans who won’t be teeing up.<\/p>\n
