With temps expected in the low 40's, it wasn't surprising to see only a lonely couple of madmen out of 19 players deciding to walk the course last week for Januarys Monthly Medal, sponsored by Mike and Cathy Smith. And nevermind the ambient temp, most of the heat was radiating from the clubs of the burglar Balter. Finding out before teeing off that he started the Summer Cup in A Grade rather than B, the young ball stopper fired up and shot a great round of 64 nett, beating his nearest rivals by 2 strokes. Well played Crankie, you'll be off single figures at this rate by the end of the Summer Cup.
Grade winners this week were Klaus 'Traphobic' Ebdrup in A Grade with a nett 66. Joff 'I definately play better without Robbo' Gould takes B Grade, also with a Nett 66. Dave ' Ringtail ' Clarke takes C Grade with his nett 71.
Plate winners were Matty ' I'm headin' for a knee op, so I'll walk with ya Hunny' Loan in A Grade with a nett 74. B Grade was a case of who DQ'd first.... which I think was given to Phil ' Put me back in C Grade please' Edwards, although could've been Dale or Champ as well. And Kermit ' The lovers, the dreamers... and Bill' Bollard DQ'd to take it for C Grade.
Only Nan was dobbed in for team player this week, for falling short of the ladies on the 11th. To make matters worse for the self proclaimed Rocka, he performed this feat in front of a group that included Robbie Dale and Champ, as they finished off on the 14th... All full of sympathy and encouragement for the the little dwarfie by all accounts!!!
In other news, DC-5 is now calling for a new local rule when ball is affected by a baby possum the size of either a church mouse or wombat (depending on who relates the story ). Clarkey cried unfair when told to take a penalty drop, even though the ball wasn't going any where from it's lie, with or without the little critter within it's 10m radius!!!
With everyone starting to drip feed back from holidays, hopefully we will get some better numbers out this week, and there will be a big enough float for me to claim my birdie money from a few weeks ago...
Cheers boys
See ya's on Saturday
Robbo
