\"noodles<\/a>
I wonder could I pull chicks with no hair (and no ears)?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Twenty-three brave souls went over the top and twenty-three souls came back though there were some who were wishing that maybe they hadn’t gone over the top.\u00a0 But, despite the downcast faces on some, there were those who were smiling and those who could quite easily have done a bit better.\u00a0 The air temperature started off a bit on the fresh side and the BOM had promised something of an icy blast but thankfully that seemed to have held off though the wind did start to get a bit flukey towards the end of the round.<\/p>\n

Now, would you believe that Noodles was one of the ones that could\/should have done better than he did?\u00a0 Well, it seems that he did have a great chance, having taken a two stroke penalty for teeing outside the markers on the 7th and he still managed to gather a point on the hole.\u00a0 He also managed three birdies and as there were only nine scored for the day he obviously made a fair fist of the rest of the round to rack up a grand total of 40 points.\u00a0 Down, down, the handicaps are down!<\/p>\n

Now that Ryan has finished with handicapping duties, for a little while at least, he is able to concentrate on his golf and did just that to great effect today.\u00a0 Hopefully it didn’t have anything to do with the fact that he was playing with and marking the card of Noodles but, in any case, 37 points was enough to get the points on offer for second place.\u00a0 Just as an aside, Ryan made 22 points on the front and Noodles made 22 points on the back.<\/p>\n

And, just to show that the young ones don’t have it all to themselves, Laurie and Harry played right to their handicap to come in third place with the regulation 36 points.\u00a0 Harry blotted his copy-book on the 17th when his tee shot finished perilously close to the fence along the path by the river.\u00a0 So much so that he had to play a ‘horizontal’ swing under the bottom bar to pop the shot back onto the fairway.\u00a0 Despite that ‘good’ result he managed to end up with a gash after some very ordinary chipping and putting.<\/p>\n

Pepsi put in a steady round with a couple of blemishes to card a still pretty handy 35 points and the man who will just not lie down (or go away) Stefan came in next on 34.\u00a0 And, claims that he can’t play to his new handicap.\u00a0 Sausage!<\/p>\n

So, although the margin has narrowed slightly, Stefan still has a comfortable lead in the Championship table but he can be caught.\u00a0 After Laurie and Harry, point getters in the Seniors today were Bob and Blighty but Gordon is still a bit in front in this competition.\u00a0 Pepsi is leading in the Eclectic by a couple of strokes at this stage.\u00a0 Looking at the colouration of the Eclectic table, it is obvious that the 17th is the most birdie-able hole followed not too far behind by the 14th.\u00a0 With the recent dearth of birdies, the eagles nest is looking pretty secure and the nest egg is growing.\u00a0 Almost worth winning these days.<\/p>\n

There was one Matchplay quarter-final played today, the last of that round and Zimmer was able to dispose of Whitey without too much difficulty 3 and 2.\u00a0 Zimmer took an early lead and, try as he might, Rod was never really able to put enough together to peg him back.\u00a0 So, now it is down to four and just three of them will accumulate some points for their trouble.\u00a0 Keep listening for more details of the forthcoming ‘Rumble in the Jungle’.<\/p>\n

The nearest the Pin for a ball on the 4th seems to have been a no-contest as the first person to tee off on the hole put it to 1.6m just a bit past pin high and there it stayed for the rest of the day. So, one more ball to Harry’s collection.\u00a0 The ProPin on the 15th was a bit more of a contest with a couple of names on the card but Eddie was victorious once again and collected the cash.\u00a0 Not sure what it is, but Ed’s name seems to feature on the ProPin record an awful lot.\u00a0 Maybe it is the smell of money that fires him up.<\/p>\n

Now, for those of you who have been asleep for the last eight (and more) weeks, a trial of a competition known as the Ivanhoe Golf League has been running.\u00a0 The rules, fixture, teams and results are posted on the web-site under the Competitions menu item.\u00a0 Just this once, today’s results and the League Ladder are reproduced below.\u00a0 Obviously, the more team members you have along, the more chance you have of getting the scores that count though that didn’t help the Magpies today as they had a full list and still went down to the Saints<\/p>\n

There were some contrasting results off the tee today.\u00a0 On the 13th, Stefan managed to drive his ball the full length of the fairway, going on 350m, the only minor problem being that it finished on the 10th.\u00a0 But then Stef had the hide to suggest that he really should have had the courage to go over the hazard on the left to try for the green.\u00a0 In contrast, there were two draughties today.\u00a0 Taner had a few attempts as the day went on but he finally succeeded on the 17th while Blighty only had to wait until the 16th to achieve his landmark..\u00a0 The effort obviously made Andrew hungry as he was tucking fiercely into a pie and sauce after the game with somebody’s lap-dog watching in anticipation of a drop of gravy or a few crumbs – all to no avail as it disappeared down the cake-hole.<\/p>\n

Taner was minding his own business on the 17th watching the Beast play a shot when the ball was shanked something fierce and it whizzed past his head, not in any real way of a threat but close enough.\u00a0 The errant ball then hit a tree and flew back, just missing Taner again on the rebound and came to rest almost a the feet of the Beast.\u00a0 Now Bill did say that he was channeling Bubba Watson for some of his shots today but it seems highly unlikely that Bubba has ever played any remotely like some that came off Bill’s club.\u00a0 Needless to say, the Beast did not feature high in the rankings today.<\/p>\n

After having his recent form talked up in recent weeks, Mal seems to have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed this morning and even went so far as to tell Gill that he didn’t think he was going to do too well today.\u00a0 Talk about a good way to put the mockers on yourself.<\/p>\n

Not sure whether Bob is supporting the Maglia Rosa in the Giro d’Italia or Breast Cancer Awareness Week, but he was seen sporting a very fetching pink mobile with an equally fetching pink and white flowered cover.\u00a0 When asked to pose for a photo for the blog, the response could not be repeated in polite society.<\/p>\n
