Saturday 20-Sep-2025 at Hillview:

• We have 5 groups and 4 carts reserved with an 08:04 start time

• The course combo being played is Heritage then Classic (to be double checked)

• We currently require 5 groups (for 20 players) and 3 carts

• There are no spare playing spots available without scratchings

• Tentative carts pairing are: Fintan/Tony, Barrie/Joe and Lindsay/Ged

• We are playing Stableford for Barrie's trophies plus a Mystery Nine afterwards

• One Pairs match is planned: Fintan/Tony v Rod/EK (to be confirmed)

• The Mug holder for September is Pete N (away all month)

• The early start is perfect given the Pies v Lions start time is 3:15 PM that afternoon

Group and cart requirements need to be finalised by Wednesday evening.

Tony will be paying upfront for golf and the carts on Thursday morning.

The latest 12-week booking matrix is also attached.

The usual "down to play, committed to pay" rule applies.

Cheers, Brad

Saturday 30 August at Carramar:

11 players fronted the starter for the stableford comp at Carramar in fine fine weather yesterday.

ON COURSE:

·         Dom was not on course, he was on a wildflower hunting/camping adventure. I should have gone too.

·         Pig had 7 double bogeys on the front 9 – wow.

·         Wilbur parred the 17th which is tough to do. At least that’s what his scorecard said. Wilbur eventually had to give up the par and write it in Barrie’s column, where it belonged.

·         Left handed Lindsay knocked a beautiful NTP-B to 5m on the 4th hole.

·         Wilbur went round in 104 gross, 29 shots better than last week. A big improvement.

·         Barrie and Joe both took off their jumpers in the cart last week - things must have got heated. But it seems they may have claimed the wrong jumper at the end of the round. Baz looked rather secondhand yesterday, in a very dirty jumper, and Joe now has one with “Baz” written on it? Hope they sort it out soon.

PAIRS:

Pairs was a shellacking with Lindsay and Steve flogging Brad/Pete 10-5. Good holes won from both of the Boags Brothers, with Lindsay standing tall in the clutch moments. In particular a snaking 20 foot putt on the 10th.

DAILY COMP:

Sneaking into second place with 34 pts was myself ($20), and Lindsay won the day with a solid round of 35pts ($40). Well done Lindsay.

Till next time.

Pete
