What a great day for the Finals of the Club Championships to be played on. Starting of a little fresh , the clouds cleared for a cracking day , and the golf was able to match it.
Once again , Tom ' Buzz , Jigsaw , Mr Lego , Knob ... call him what you will ' Dougan proved too good , taking the title of Club Champion over Frankie ' Was worried about mowing the lawn ' Balter 5 & 4 .
In the B Grade battle , and what a battle it was , the game went all the way to the 20th hole before we could seperate the boys. And coming out on top was Matty ' Glad Jess wasn't hungover today, I'm going for a 3peat ! ' Loan over Paul ' I CAN play without launching clubs ' McKenna. Having the pleasure of being Ref for the game , was great to see the boys play and laugh and support each other on the way round. Great game, with no player winning more than 2 holes in a row.... well played guys.
And in C Grade Philthy ' Price check ' Edwards knocked over Dave ' Maybe next year ' Clarke 5 & 4 .
Well played to all, congrats to the winners... and to the other boys, better luck next year.
Thanks again to Patricks Auto Care for the sponsorship.
For the also rans that never were , the winner of the day was Paul ' Back riding with the Phantom ' Hughes. Paul obviously enjoys his golf in the early hours , winning the day with a great round of 43 points. Well played Mr Huges...
Winning A Grade was Pete ' In form a week too late ' Rowe with 37 points. Claiming B Grade was Rob ' So close , yet so far ' Dale with a great round of 42 points, and Conrad ' I shoulda been the champ... bloody cruise boat ' Peters takes C Grade with 34 points on a countback from Super.
Penny ' No Snacks ' Pearce wins the Ladies Comp, as there were 3 playing today , with 35 points.
Plate winners this week were Jarrod ' Getting the handicap out for the ambrose Robbo ' Rowland in A Grade with 26 points, matched by the B Grade plate winner Kenneth ' Funny that , so am I ' Ponting also with 26 points. Sarah ' Unfair boys , I was trying to win ! ' O ' Connor takes the C Grade plate also with 26 points.
Just back to Club Champs... hopefully the new committee will make a call and stick to it as to where the championship groups play off from. Whether first or last groupings , it would be nice to have a decision before the day on the tee block...
The Ladies group looks to have gained another member with Amanda ' Missy Robbo ' Robertson enjoying the Ashborne day enough to risk coming out and playing with you lot... And she enjoyed it , and will be joining the Club.
Trophy night this week boys and girls... And after a day of stroke in almost 40 degree heat , I'm guessing Nan is guarenteed to be in short pant...and maybe a few joining in this year.
See you all on Saturday
Cheers
Robbo
