Hi everyone,yet again good numbers showing up on the tee block 29 players in total, well done club. It was the September monthly medal round sponsored by Geoff and Jackie, it was a cold but pleasant day for golf, the rain stayed away but the damage was done during the week with heavy relentless rain making it near impossible for the course to dry out and give the green keepers a chance to move the fairways. As always we tee off hoping this will be the day i have a round good enough to win the day, well for one person that hoping turned into a reality and with so many McKennas in the club now you would think law of averages their name would pop up on a regular basis. It was Mark McKennas turn to take home the chocolates on Saturday winning his first ever monthly medal, coming home with a very tidy nett 67, well done Mark, i guess you have the bragging rights among your brother for now.
runner up to Mark on a count back was yours truly also with a nett 67, bloody 18th hole, theirs always one hole that lets you down, never mind i am sure we all had one or two of them in third place very close behind with a nett 68 was Joffa and Sara, well played boys maybe October is your month.
I had the pleasure of playing with Tony Bulmers Bryant, unfortunately Tony didn't have the best of rounds, probably still suffering mild concussion from all his reno work, coming a little undone on the third after a poor tee shot that failed to make the ladies...........JUG was what i heard come out of Robbos mouth, which we all know if you don't make the ladies tee block it is an automatic jug, but wait Tony wasn't quite finished in the coming undone stage, finding his ball sitting down in the long grass made the next shot very hard and with still another 20 meters away from passing the ladies tee, mentally even harder. Lining up with a little beed of sweat appearing Tony took a big swing making contact with the ball.......just, dare i say it.............JUG coming from Robbos mouth as we all saw the ball roll short of the ladies tee once again. as a good golfer out of luck does,Tony soldiered on two jugs down for the rest of the day. Just for the record Tony said to Robbo even before they teed off "every time i play with you Robbo it costs me a jug" unquote, record still in tack.guess i should mention that i to had to buy a jug for not making the ladies tee on the 9th, the only difference was i managed to par the hole and score 4 for 4, go figure.
