O versus S
As stated, we need a team of 24 to give the Invercargill Golf Club a return match and win back a trophy they have on temporary loan.
​
This match will take place on FRIDAY 1st NOVEMBER with a tee off at 12:30 pm.
​
Currently we have 14 signed up so we need another 10 to make up the team.
​
Names to me ASAP please. Come on, you know you want to, and there will be no Friday skins that day for obvious reasons.
Summer !!
Wednesday proved that summer is almost here with nearly 20 degrees until the wind arrived and spoiled the party.
We had a full field of 32 players, with a couple of late comers in Tony Brown and Errol Duckworth. We sent two groups off 13th tee to speed up play and this worked well so may continue through the summer months.
The scoring was solid with the first six holes won in 31 points by team Mahmoud, TK, Warren Egen and Mike Henderson, more about them later.
The second six holes was split between two teams with a score of 48 points each, so the $155 was shared between team Mahmoud, TK, Warren and Mike H as well as team Bruce Carvell, Deano, Fairway Phil and The Nugget. Except that the money collector Les Howard overpaid group A by $40 and there was some contention when there was a reluctance from Mahmoud in Group A to part company with the dosh, which could have become the next in the infamous series of "gate" cases.
The third six holes was very straightforward with a victory in 48 points by Lloyd , Tony, " Generous" Les and Bob Griffiths.
The Blue Jacket was closely fought out with 3 players Vaughn Keenan, Warren Egen and Tony Attenborough all on 38 points. However Warren took the jacket on count back with 2 points on the 12th hole, congrats to Wazza as a first time winner this year with his last victory in November 23.
The Swingers trophy was won by Tony Brown with 4 birdies. This included a 2 on the third hole where he drove the green and slotted a 20 foot putt. Tony also drove the 17th green, however 3 putted there for a par.
Talking about multiple putts, Mike Henderson was reported as taking 4 putts on the 13th from a short distance, where he swatted a number of times from a short distance to have an outer. Surely not swordfighting or sabre rattling ?? His partner Mahmoud also took 3 putts from a similar distance. Apparently there was a bit of discussion after about “man hole cover” markers and the value of the new rule with the pin left in the hole. Needless to say they lost the haggle to TK and Wazza. Better luck next week Mike.
We sang a birthday song for Phil Ellis who has just turned 66 years, so congratulations Phil.
The raffle was won by Murray Edgar with number 14.
