\"Chris<\/a>
Oh, Chris can’t you see, that water runnin’ free….<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

OK, maybe there wasn’t that much water on the course today but it was certainly hot enough to require regular drinks to keep the hydration levels up.\u00a0 Trevor retired after the 13th and although he has been suffering from a virus recently it is also possible that it could have been a bit of dehydration as well.\u00a0 Thankfully, Trevor seems to be OK but it is worth keeping in mind that you should keep your fluid intake up on these warmer days during the round.\u00a0 Given that there is no drinking water on the course, that means that you have to make sure that you carry your own and refill if necessary when you pass the Club House.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if Chris was at all dehydrated, it didn’t affect his stroke making and he only seems to have gotten better as the day progressed with his back nine coming in ten strokes less than his front.\u00a0 On top of all this was a confession by Chris that on one hole he had taken four putts from 600mm and he reckons that he wasn’t doing the Eddie two-step.\u00a0 Just imagine what his nett would have been without that blot on the card.\u00a0 This blistering back-nine was more than enough to get him the medal on a count-back from Mostyn who also carded a nett 64.\u00a0 Both get the points and the handicap penalty but only Chris gets the medal.\u00a0 Not sure how it started, but there was a rumour about that Mostyn didn’t qualify for the medal but a check of the records showed that this was not, in fact, true.\u00a0 So it is a good thing that the count-back supported the announced result.\u00a0 Regardless, two excellent rounds of golf that left the rest of the field in their wake.<\/p>\n

Four strokes further back and obviously preparing himself for his trip to Yarrawonga was SOS who is hoping that the application of the slope system to his handicap will stand him in good stead for his drinking (I mean golfing) trip.\u00a0 Only a stroke further back was the Beast, who continues to rack up the birdies, though he will start to run out of holes to do it on if he keeps this up.\u00a0 In the process, he is also accumulating a nice little store of points and not affecting his handicap too seriously, if at all.\u00a0 Way to go, Bill!\u00a0 While on the subject of birdies the tally for today was nine.<\/p>\n

Mehmet and Stephen noodled their way into fourth place and MalA was the last of the points scorers for this round.\u00a0 Mal absolutely destroyed the first nine and the first three holes of the back.\u00a0 Not sure what happened, but the last six were what you might call less than stellar.\u00a0 Perhaps the prospect of gold glittering in the trophy cabinet got the better of him.<\/p>\n

The ProPin on the 12th was a shoot out between Harry and Mostyn with Mostyn picking up the handy little stash of cash that helped to defray a fair proportion of the cost of his new Club shirt.\u00a0 On the other hand SOS was the one to put his hand up for the ball going for the Nearest the Pin on the 12th.\u00a0 Chrispy has promised to get us some new marker pens for the NTP flags.<\/p>\n

Quite a number of players were out in their new shirts today and it does give a certain cachet to the group to be sporting common colours.\u00a0 Noodles is obviously attached to some of his old Club clobber as he was seen wearing both the shirt and\u00a0 a vest and this at a time when most were thinking they would like to be stripping something off.<\/p>\n

Craig (aka Big Daddy) was very proudly showing off photos of his new pride and joy – the baby – not his golf clubs.\u00a0 He’s obviously off on Cloud Nine as when he stood up to leave after the game, he turned around and walked straight into one of the Club House verandah posts.\u00a0 Mal F was so spooked by the placement of the tee markers on the 14th that he kissed his ball and said ‘Goodbye’ before teeing it up.\u00a0 Seems to have worked as the ball finished dead centre well down the fairway.<\/p>\n

The draw for the matchplay was carried out after the round today and the result has been posted on the web-site.\u00a0 Just follow the link in the right hand panel.\u00a0 The first round has to be complete before March 15 when the second round starts so there is little time to waste.\u00a0 If you have been drawn and can’t play to that deadline please advise your opponent and Harry.\u00a0 If your name doesn’t appear and you would like to be a participant let Harry know and you can be on the Emergency Bench for the first round.<\/p>\n
