\"Tour<\/a>
I could be his!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The rain band that used to plague the oval at Moorabin seems to have moved north and now seems to plague Ivanhoe.\u00a0 Whatever the reason, the course was pretty soft in places and there were quite a few balls that went astray on the fairway and many more that did not move far from the plug mark.\u00a0 Once again there were preferred lies and there were probably quite a few preferred lies told.\u00a0 But the weather was good and the showers held off until after we had finished.\u00a0 The complaints from last week about the greens not being maintained on Saturdays must have been heard as they were all dew and leaf free.\u00a0 As a result, conditions proved to be ideal, for some people at least.<\/p>\n

It is not clear whether Mostyn has been practicing while he has been having his little sabbatical but if his last three score-cards are any indication whatever he is on is doing him the world of good.\u00a0 Doesn’t seem to have corrected his squint as he either read the handicap sheet incorrectly or he put his outside card in and his inside card out.\u00a0 The upshot was that he garnered even more points (on his card – not championship points) than he thought and a bigger slice from his handicap as well.\u00a0 On appearances, it would appear that it will be hard for him to improve his current total in the June Bonus Trophy and so it is up to the rest of the field to get some better ones in and catch him up.<\/p>\n

SOS hit the tees straight off night shift and as a result thought he was hallucinating.\u00a0 First, there was the buzzing sound in his ears which turned out to be a model aeroplane over on one of the ovals.\u00a0 Then there was the nice person giving him the short wave which turned out to be somebody wiggling their fingers into their glove.\u00a0 Regardless, he reckons he is going to skip the sleep from now on if it means that he can put together 40 points in a round.<\/p>\n

Brendon was obviously turfed out of bed early today as he was one of the first on deck rather than one of the last.\u00a0 The main reason being that he had to get out and about and rattle the tin for the Cancer Council Longest Morning Tea fundraiser that he and Maryanne were doing.\u00a0 Well done fellows, no word on the total but the box on our table seemed to heft pretty well.\u00a0 Not too many buckets of five cents but a goodly collection of shrapnel and some folding stuff as well.\u00a0 He did get a bit distracted by an altercation going on the the sports ground drive-way as he putted on the 11th but venting his spleen seems to have done something for his game and he racked up almost as many points in the rest of the round as he had to date.\u00a0 His partner in crime in third place, Ryan, on the other hand got off to a flying start and had eighteen points after six holes when some kind soul (no names Blighty) in his group made comment on the fact, at which point there was a slight wavering in the consistency.<\/p>\n

Oliver and ChrisV came in next with parallel rounds scoring the same on both nines and overall.\u00a0 The latter is probably not too surprising given the former.\u00a0 And, finally, we have Mehmet and Blighty who managed to get themselves a point and do no harm to their handicap at the same time.\u00a0 If Blighty hadn’t taken nine holes to warm up it might have been a different story for him.<\/p>\n

The ProPin was on the 18th and nobody got close enough to qualify so there will be a Jackpot to next week.\u00a0 It was a bit of a close call apparently and if the tape had been a little more stretchy Mostyn might have been able to claim the dosh.\u00a0 The nearest the Pin for a ball was on the 4th and eventually went to Oliver after Brendon had gone to so much trouble to re-locate his mark which, it must be admitted, was quite a little way out from the pin.<\/p>\n

Anybody would have thought the ProPin was on the 14th as player after player finished pin high on the green.\u00a0 Damo was deemed to be in a sure-fire spot a couple of metres away on the down side on the hole.\u00a0 But as you might have noticed, the Eagles nest is still intact.\u00a0 And it seems that there was another eagle chance that he missed elsewhere.\u00a0 The lure of the nest-egg is obviously getting to people as the Beast was determined to have a go on the 17th but put it a bit wide to the 18th tee and then put in a great recovery to end up with his par.\u00a0 Andrew Hall, who was playing today for his third card, made the 17th green but whether by accident or design didn’t make the eagle.\u00a0 Rumour has it that he ran dead after being told that he didn’t qualify for the Eagles Nest yet.\u00a0 The handicapper will be keeping a close eye in future.\u00a0 Despite all the eagle attempts it was quite a good day for birdies with a total of 14 including one on the 12th by the beast who now has only two holes in the eclectic that aren’t below par.<\/p>\n

Ed was nearly in the news today for his shot on the 17th that was about two paces from wearing SOS as he walked to the 18th.\u00a0 The front group were taken by surprise despite the serious bellowing that had been made from the tee.\u00a0 Ed also reckons that he got Best in Show in Brisbane but he didn’t say how the pigeons had done.<\/p>\n

Noodles reckons Targe has been taking lessons from Clancy of the Overflow because his card looked as if it had been written with a thumb-nail dipped in tar.<\/p>\n

Two more weeks in June for the Bonus Trophy so now is the time to stop running dead and get out there and play as if you mean it (except for Mostyn of course).\u00a0 An Orange Ball team event with next weeks Par round, so it will be draw for partners again.\u00a0 Couldn’t happen two weeks in a row, could it?<\/p>\n
