\"Mozzies<\/a>
I’m so excited I think I wet myself!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mozzie was so excited he was jumping out of his skin and as a result he was all blurry.\u00a0 At least the bag was sharp, even if he wasn’t.\u00a0 Made some excuse about having to rush off to the snow but maybe the excitement was just too much for him.\u00a0 So, just in case you didn’t know it already, Mostyn was the run-away winner of the June Bonus Trophy and he put in an appearance today to collect the booty.\u00a0 Appearances can be deceiving but it seems likely that a new buggy will be in order if he is going to use it for everyday.\u00a0 There wasn’t a great deal of evidence of the form that won him the event though as he positioned well down the field.<\/p>\n

Not that the field was all that huge, considering that the weather was fine though the track was on the heavy side in places.\u00a0 A couple of the forecast showers turned up late in the round which was just enough to be a nuisance and not enough to blame for some of the scores that were returned.\u00a0 But, enough of the doom and gloom the idea is to celebrate those that managed to bring home the bacon.<\/p>\n

For the first time in a while, it was necessary to do a count-back to determine the winner of the Medal and there was a decision required between no less than four players who all carded a nett 67.\u00a0 The contenders for the Medal were Oliver, SOS, Chrispy and Targe and it was SOS who made the big turn-around between the front and back nines and he managed to win the count-back very comfortably.\u00a0 Well done SOS with a 36 off the stick on the back.<\/p>\n

Next to step up to the podium were Noodles and Bob with their favourite number 69 as the score.\u00a0 Noodles wanted it to be known that he is now officially a better player than Mehm.\u00a0 Not too sure what Mehm thinks of that but they will probably have fun working it out between them.\u00a0 Bob continues to play steadily since his return with the new plumbing around the old ticker but maybe he should get his eyes tested or even check the handicap sheet to be sure that the correct handicap goes on his card.<\/p>\n

That left Mehm on his Patma in third place with a fairly respectable 70 nett.\u00a0 Then there was a skipped score to the three musketeers all for one and one for all on 72 consisting of Damo, Snags and Brendon.\u00a0 Damo and Snags also played out their round in the matchplay and it ended up being a close run thing.\u00a0 Snags was one up after the 17th and so a lot was riding on the outcome of the 18th.\u00a0 Damo was off the green and Snags very courteously offered him the choice of\u00a0 pin out or pin in.\u00a0 After a certain amount of hemming and hawing, it was decided that it should be left in.\u00a0 The shot hit the pin and bounced out whereas the general opinion was that had the pin been out the ball would have been in.\u00a0 So, that was the ins and outs of it.\u00a0 Snags claimed the round one up.<\/p>\n

Last in the field of many to receive points were Trev and Whitey with 73’s.\u00a0 They were grateful for the point apiece but probably won’t be going home and bragging around the pub about it. Trevor did alright as far as his eclectic went with three improvements including a birdie on the 7th which is no mean feat in itself but this was achieved from a chip out from under the trees and a fair way out.\u00a0 The whole course wondered what Ed was shouting about.<\/p>\n

While on the subject of birdies, there were a fairly paltry 7 accumulated today and the fact that the ProPin on the 15th jackpotted again says volumes for the general accuracy.\u00a0 Ed managed to get onto the 18th for the Nearest the Pin and then went charging around the course in a cart looking for the tape measure that had been ‘lost’.\u00a0 Ergh, Ed, we don’t use the tape on the NTP.\u00a0 Still, he got a ball for his trouble.<\/p>\n

Walking between the 9th and the 10th, Targe detoured and announced that he would be back shortly.\u00a0 Almost goes without saying.<\/p>\n

There will be a Meeting after the round next week to deal with a couple of items of business.\u00a0 The top priority is to get somebody to take on the job as Social Secretary as Ben finds that pressure of work does not allow him to continue in the role.\u00a0 Give it some thought chaps.\u00a0 The main priority at the moment is the Annual Challenge organisation and somebody needs to be picking Ben’s brains sooner rather than later.\u00a0 There was a suggestion that Mostyn would pick it up but until that is positively confirmed anybody else who would be prepared to take it on or help out should let Gordon know.\u00a0 The same applies to the job of Secretary.<\/p>\n

Whitey has arranged a voucher for 2 hours of time for up to 4 players at the Golf simulator facility at Coburg.\u00a0 Use your own clubs or borrow from the facility.\u00a0 Extra time can be paid for at the time if required.\u00a0 This will be run as a raffle and tickets will be sold over the next few weeks to give everybody a chance to get to an event and buy some if they wish.\u00a0 $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00.<\/p>\n
