16 Dec

20 players fronted Carramar on a hot day, but thank god the south easterly kept blowing. Founding Father Charlie set up a very complex calculation to decide the winning foursome – too complex to go thru here (because I didn’t/don’t have a clue how it worked). And it was my trophy day.

ON COURSE:

·         JK was lining up a 3 wood off the deck, and miraculously banged it into the turf somehow. It grabbed, and travelled backwards hitting the cart BEHIND him. The “never before seen” shit keeps happening at the Dags!

·         20 became 19 when Rod succumbed to the heat after being crook all week. A check up late in the day had Rod resting at home and feeling better.

·         19 became 18 when JK too felt the pinch after 9 holes, and checked in to the clubhouse. I’m sure he will bounce back.

·         Both Rod and JK were pinged a jug for “leaving the course” – this is a tough school.

PAIRS:

Rod & Erin went up against Brad and Pete, and Erin was left on his own after 4 holes when Rod pulled out, with the match square. Erin then parred the Index #1 5th hole P4, with some magnificent shooting. He then parred the 6th P3 to take a 2 hole lead, he was going to fight if he were going to go down. Quiet Achievers searched for the panic button. In the end weight of numbers saw the game swing QA’s way, and it was all over 4&3 on the 15th hole. QA’s went on to win with a score of 7-4. A great effort from the ever improving Erin, he held his head high, and has managed to remove that bad slice from his game – how the hell do you do that?

FF’s COMP:

The comp was a close run thing with the group of Ged, OJ, Tampo and Tony winning out, and each bagging a bottle of wine. Well done fellas.

Till next time,

Pete
