WEDNESDAY
It seems players were well prepared for the 5 club restriction for the 2 Man Ambrose sponsored by "The Ball Busters" (Joe Daniels, Don Clelland, Ron Ballantyne and Andrew Carson). Thanks to Joe and the other ball busters!!
The common comment after the game was ‘It makes you wonder why you need 14 clubs to play good golf?‘
|
It pays to read the whiteboard for instructions before you head out to play. Two teams in contention were disqualified because they didn't record the number of drives for each player.
|
The 'last group' scooped the pool. Bronco Price and Kerry Davies claimed the winners prize from Brett LeMoy and Don Esposito - all in the last group of four.
Richard Gibson and David Tink finished in 3rd Place with Tony Kershaw and Michael Loe in 4th Place

Unfortunately, due to disruptions in the supply chain caused by COVID-19 there won’t be Guinness and other Irish soft drinks for the Irish 4Ball Stableford next week. So, we will have to make do with a photo and an Irish joke. The Leprechauns (aka Jimmy Henderson's mob) will, however, be present and providing sponsorship.
|
Wear something green and orange.

An Irish 4 Ball is a team event designed to challenge your brain as well as your golf. Holes 1 - 4 the best score counts. Holes 5-9 the best two scores count. Holes 10-14 the three best scores count. Holes 15-18 all scores count.

An Irish priest is driving along a country road when a policeman pulls him over. He immediately smells alcohol on the priest’s breath and notices an empty wine bottle in the car. He says: Have you been drinking? Just water, says the priest. The cop replies: Then why do I smell wine? The priest looks at the bottle and says: Good Lord! He’s done it again!

WILDLIFE ON THE COURSE
We had the rather unusual sight of a very large kangaroo on the 14th fairway this week.
