Hi everyone,

A cracker winters day at Carramar saw 18 players turn out for the Stableford comp on Pigs trophy day.

ON COURSE:

·         Pig held the flags yesterday, and dropped a long drive on the 1st P4. He also put a NI3 on a P4, but who in the history of the Dags has ever accused Pig of being conventional? I can’t think of anyone?

·         On said long drive 1st P4 Dom belted one down the middle and wanted us to know “IT WENT 15m PAST OJ’s” (capitals mean he was shouting) to take the LD golf ball with his first shot of the day.

·         Andy hit a roo in the left lower ribcage on the P5 2nd, all other roos bolted, except he who was hit. He just stood there looking at Andy “come on, is that all you’ve got”. That roo was still fairway centre when the last group teed off on 2, and no it wasn’t dead. Brave.

·         After his tee shot on the P3 16th, Andy felt a pain in his left lower ribcage – that is so spooky.

·         Joe & Tony both fell victim to the bunker on the P3 16th. Joe was out in 2, Tony had 6 wild swings, before he wiped. Muzza and Andy not much better, resulting in 2 points for the combined group. Terrible!

·         Lindsay won 2 LD’s B grade - his game seems to be much improved with the coaching from his new pairs partner.

·         Dom (again) on the P4 10th was right side of green lining up to putt on. Thud, doof, donk, a ball had been blasted out of the P4 7th farside bunker, and fell out of the tree above, hitting Doms head shoulder then arm. He was shaken, and stirred, but otherwise maintained his decorum with the offender.

PAIRS:

One pairs match was played Quiet Achievers (Brad & Pete) V Blue Baggers (Dom & Gilligan) making their 2026 debut. Dom followed his LD on 1, with a cracking approach to put BB’s 1 up, then the pair of them won the 2nd to be up 2-0 after 2. Yours truly was also 20 after 2, but that was referring to total strokes, with W-Q-Q jugs, take your pick! BB’s turned 2 up after 9, but Brad came to life to have the game all square after 16. Dom made a solid par on the P4 17th to put them dormy, and they went on to win the last hole, and the match 8-6.

STABLEFORD COMP:

On 33 pts was Wilbur and Brad, with Brad snagging the 2nd place bottle of CC on countback.

And winning the day on 35 pts was Steve, in a run of from of late, which see’s his handicap heading in the right direction. Well done Steve, and a deserved bottle of Hogs 3 – can we have some?

MYSTERY 9:

The M9 was run for June and Steve, Custard, and Brad all forfeited ineligible, leaving last man standing Maury to pick up the Mug for June. Pls don’t hit me Maury.

Till next time,

Pete
