\"Wartime<\/a>
Who said there was no challenge to golf…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After the weather of the last week, today’s offering could only be described as magnificent.\u00a0 The course was free of casual water and, other than a couple of (long term) exceptions, the greens were in good nick.\u00a0 There were a few complaints about the fact that the tees were too far forward (something to do with the inside Club Championship) and the rough was a bit that way in a few places and balls could be a bit hard to find.<\/p>\n

All in all, there was no real excuse for not making a score and the person who managed to really make one was Mostyn who carded a +5 and who looks like starting to play to his potential – or has he just been waiting for the moment.\u00a0 Regardless, he has been dealt with by the handicapper.<\/p>\n

Pepsi managed to score himself a leave pass (or was that\u00a0 – was able to tear himself away) from young Alexander Mario for long enough to show that his ball striking skills haven’t been affected by fatherhood to put together 69 off the stick for +4.\u00a0 Pepsi was reported to be ‘shanking’ the ball on a number of occasions so there must have been some magnificent recovery shots played if that was the case.\u00a0 He also had held out hopes that he might at last win an event this year but had to be satisfied as bridesmaid once again.<\/p>\n

Then followed a trio on +3, Achilles, Chrispy and Mehm.\u00a0 Chrispy has acquired a new putting grip and swears that it is impossible to miss.\u00a0 He certainly put away some pretty impressive putts during the round.\u00a0 So much so that he said he felt like Adam Scott even though he didn’t look like him.\u00a0 Sharpie reckons he looked more like he had eaten him.<\/p>\n

Tony and Mo filled the fourth spot on +2 and collected the first of the Seniors points for their effort.\u00a0 Harry put together a good back nine after a fairly ordinary front to take fifth on +1.<\/p>\n

The NTP for a ball was on the 7th and there were a couple of contenders but Craig was the one with his name left on the card at the end of the day.\u00a0 The ProPin was on the 15th and, quite amazingly, nobody managed to get close enough to inscribe their John Henry on the card so there will be a double jackpot up for grabs next week.\u00a0 That should bring some of the hungry ones out of the woodwork.\u00a0 The lack of success in hitting the greens when it counted, didn’t much affect the flow of birdies with twelve being plodded, including three by Pepsi.<\/p>\n

It was also a bit of a sad day today as we had to bid farewell to those two loveable yanks, Mo and Mike.\u00a0 President Gordon made an appropriate valedictory speech and presented them with a small memento to remind them of their stay in Oz and of their Ozzie golfing mates.\u00a0 Come back and visit sometime, guys.\u00a0 And no, Chris, you can’t claim Mo’s Championship points!<\/p>\n

Also a get well wish to Bob, who is up for some fairly serious surgery and won’t be joining us for a month or two.\u00a0 Trevor has also been laid up with his back but managed to come along this morning to farewell Mo and Mike.\u00a0 Hope it comes good soon, Trev.<\/p>\n

Mirthful MalA was in form today cracking a few punnies after the game.\u00a0 He might yet take up Brendon’s request for him to do stand-up for the break-up.\u00a0 Eddie tried for the green on the 17th and everybody judged it a sure thing but in the end the ball was not to be found.\u00a0 Just proves you shouldn’t count your pigeons before they’re hatched.<\/p>\n

The end of the year is fast approaching and the committee has the break-up function organisation under way.\u00a0 The perpetual trophies have to be updated, so if you have one in your possession, can you please get it back to Gordon or Ben by next Saturday at the latest.<\/p>\n

It seems the most favoured shirt colour might be the blue though there was a late vote for a very fetching pink that Brendon was wearing.\u00a0 Get your sizes in so the order can be placed.<\/p>\n
