Rob Dale came out on top of the DC5 Challenge. On a cold winters morning with every step sinking into the depths of the Belair Fairways Rob Dale prospered on the day. Electing to keep the Putter and playing with two clubs seemed to be the correct formula to come home with the Bacon.
Playing with the Dougs and taking the early lead between us, I started to think maybe If we meet in the Final I'll make him play with three clubs only. Well, that was short lived. The Dougs took control, and was playing par golf on the first six holes, actually One under. Now lets pose the question, Who needs a full set of clubs. Later on the day Tom was shattered. Tom had found out that RD had pipped him at the post. The Dougs was so sure he had won the day. Confucious say, "don't count your Chickens before Fat Lady Sing"!
Walking up to the green you would grab your putter, yes, no, not today. Take your driver and have a go. Yes people were seen on the greens with their drivers putting. I must say with some pretty good results too. I might use it every week. I mean in some cases it can't be any worse can it!
The Birdie hole was finally emptied. A massive $178.00 was won by the Champ. Apparently, only a vicious rumor started by me at 10.25pm while I am writing the news, the champ can pay his heating bills this week with the prize money. Heh, Champ don't forget to declare it on next years Tax!
The day was a huge success and the club thanks Dave Clarke for his innovation on the new version of golf fun.
Lets start making a $7 bill. Yes the Club Captain will be richer, its either that or change the Tee Master as Captain Bulmers always buys another three squares with the $10 bill handed over to Rob Dale. RD, that says it all. He could sell Oil to the Arabs!
The club fairwelled an ol Mate this week. A life Member of the Club, a hard working Committee man in the early years. Those that new Wayne Gordon new him as a quiet warm hearted man and to hear of his passing was a very sad day to the Mitsubishi Staff Golf Club.
Rest in Peace Wayne.
