HIGHLIGHTS of the WEEK
The hot weather hasn’t dissuaded players with another good field of 88 for our February Monthly Medal sponsored by John Madill Toyota.
|
The Keith Harkins group must be trying to set a record for the fastest round as they were back in the clubhouse in just over 3 hours! Or, were they just keen to get back to an air conditioned clubhouse and cold drink?
|
Many thanks to John Danger for the on-course drinks cart initiative. Based on sales it was a success. John’s health prevents him playing golf but he wants to stay involved and continue to enjoy the camaraderie of the Vets and, it gets him out of the house. A great contribution to our Wednesday competition.

|
Despite shooting less than his age, Ian (Lumpy) Lumsden had to weather a three way count back to take the A Grade top spot from Graham Laing and Kerry Davies with 65. Quite an achievement; we won’t disclose Ian’s age other than to say it’s much less than 100. Maybe there should be an award for such an achievement?
|
Terry McCulloch's recent eye operation must have been a success as Terry shot a great round of 59 to win B Grade from John Butler 60 and Derek Wood 64.
|
Andrew Aves carded an impressive 61 to take C Grade from Wayne Carty 68 and Rudy Agerbeek 69.
We had a three way tie for the Kevin Tonkin Best Gross between Ian Lumsden, Terry McCulloch and Kerry Davies each with 78.
|
Next week is a 4 Man Ambrose with some special rules to keep your mind as well as your golf challenged.
|
We will be using all 4 Tees, Blue, White, Red and Yellow. You will find some of these are not in their normal position but, Blue will always be further from the hole and Yellow will always be closer to the hole.
|
Each player in your team must hit off a different coloured Tee on each hole.
|
There is no limit to how many times a player hits off any colour e.g. Player A may hit off the Yellow on all 18 holes if this what your team desires.
|
There is a minimum of 4 Tee shots per player to be used.
|
|
HOST DAYS
|
We kick off our first home host day for 2020 next Monday hosting Pelican Waters . Continuing the positive trend, it looks like we will have a large field so register early.
