With a somber mood around the Club after the weeks sad news, it was great to see Jarrod make it out on Saturday and make it through the day. Appreciated by all, you did well mate to make it through.
With a chilly start to the morning, 21 players made it out for the final monthly medal of the season, sponsored by Mike and Cathy Smith. But it didn't take long for it to heat up on the course, as Robbie 'Home Game Specialist' ripped the course a new one, to win the day with a nett 57. To go with that, Rob also shot 49 points and set a new C Grade lowest off the stick 86 !!! Poor ol' Super, shoots 87 off the stick last week, and gets run down a week later... Well played Rob, the result made even better by the fact that it was our first week after preferred lies changed to fairway only...and included an 8 scrub on the card. C Graders may find themselves under closer security of drug screeners if these scores keep up!!!
Grade winners this week were 'Stout Monkey' Whitey in A Grade with a nett 70, Pete 'I Should be in A Grade' Rowe takes B Grade with a nett 65, and Phil 'Just warming up' Edwards takes out C Grade with a nett 71.
Plate winners were Matty ' I don't wanna be in A Grade anymore' Loan with a nett 80. Ken 'Countback king' takes it for B Grade, nudging out Robbo with a nett 82. Billy 'Couldn't be bothered' Bollard wins the plate for C Grade after a DQ.
Quite a few team players this week, with 'I'm gonna need a second job soon' Bulmers continuing his round buying, this week getting it out of the way early with a 4 putt on the 1st. Kymbo had to cough up as well, after 4 putting the 2nd. Robbie 'Happy Trails' Dale failed to make the ladies,not once, but twice on the 4th. But the unluckiest of them all, was 'Mr Ashbourne' DC-5, who fell short of the ladies on the 4th after hitting a duck.... but quite rightly his playing group made him cough up, despite the complaints from Clarkey that it wasn't fair!!!
And Sunday saw the return of Ashbourne, after a years absence due to low numbers. And I think it's fair to say, judging by the turnout on Sunday, it's back for a few more years. With over 40 people turning up for a great day of food, fun and a little bit of golf, it was great to see all the families mixing together and sharing a laugh. DC - 5 won the day, and I can't remember who won the NAGA..... But I did wake up Monday with an extra water bottle !!!!
Another 2 week comp starts this week, with Mike Taylor offering up another golf bag.
See you boys out there
Cheers
Robbo
