\"CJ<\/a>
If you’ve got four hours, I’ll tell you about it!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

CJ. CJ. CJ. CJ. Actually, he wasn’t the only player on the course. There were thirteen other members and our ‘intern’, Marc, who turned out to do battle with the vagaries of the rapidly desiccating fairways at Ivanhoe. It’s starting to remind some members of some of the outback courses that they have played in the past. The cracks don’t quite come up to the standard of Bourke, where your ball could easily disappear, but some are getting there. The weather was fine and overcast with little wind, so some good scoring was definitely on the cards (or not, depending on how your game went).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after honing his skills at the Frog yesterday, CJ came out, and started taking the course apart, and in the process produced a personal best score of 69 off the stick for a total of 44 Stableford points. And he had the hide to say that he left a few out there, which you have to believe, when he three-putted from less than half a metre on one hole. Harry looked as if he was going to match CJ when he turned with 20 points also. However, he couldn’t quite match the ‘Power of the Priems’ on the back, and could only manage another seventeen points to collect second place with 37 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brent tried for a draw on the 11th but pulled it into the trees instead, and the ball came rocketing back to finish pretty much in line with the red markers. Despite that, he managed to par the hole to finish with a commendable 35 points. Stan declared that there wasn’t anything exciting about his game other than making it to 4.3m from the hole on the 15th to take out the ProPin for the day. But, he also scored 35 points to take a share of third place. Raj was much happier today than he was last week, and his score of 34 points won him fourth place. Porks also claimed an unexciting round, other than having to avoid Brent’s drive on the second, on his way to the last spot on the podium with thirty-three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first BallPin was on the 12th, and Brent managed to get closest to take out that one. He did miss the putt by a whisker, so that hole did not contribute to the ten that we scored for the day. The BallPin on the 18th was a Double Jackpot, and it was left to Harry to knock off JQ for the booty.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Trees<\/a>
Any closer, you’d need a chainsaw!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Marc lined up for a lesson with Chris during the week, so his head was full of good advice. He played some great shots, and the errant ones made good use of the trees. His drive from the 2nd went through a tree and still finished in the bunker on the 6th, which could easily be a first. Brendon was a bit down the batting order today, and at one stage he was reduced to using the back of his putter to play a shot. Harry, on the other hand, was able to extricate himself using the face of the club. SOS was cheesed when the HIO comp on the 18th informed him that it was only available between 1359 and 1459, so, at least, it saved him money. Brendon, on the other hand, scored some freebies by reporting faults with the system. Adam went to ‘clink’ tinnies with CJ to celebrate his win, and CJ thought Adam had bought him another, and tried to take it. The Birthday Birdie has a big shout out today for Bob and Brent, who both have reason to celebrate this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
