McLeod game 18th September 2016

McLeod game 18^th September 2016

Hello folks, thanks to the 11 who took a chance on the elements, all of us had wet weather gear on standby as the forecast was for a dire day in the wet.

However it just goes to show you cannot trust the BOM and it’s henchmen/women, as they appear to know very little about predicting the future (they do a bang up job of telling you what you had already had at the end of the day of course) So we were all happy to walk around in very very light rain for the full 18.

A very close game again with many scores just one shy of another, which leaves many rueing the missed putt, wayward approach, bad chip or the poor drive etc, which executed correctly may have seen them take the win.

The upshot is that, mathematically it is still possible for one person to challenge the current league table leader, however it would the biggest wall to climb for that to be achieved.

So ensure you are all out there to see if the magic can happen or the form player all season goes on to claim the title.

Now for the results:

NTP on the 6^th – Paul Lockwood-Lee

NTP on the 12^th – Phil Dawson

Mens Long drive 9^th – Ian Smith

Ladies Long drive 9^th – Karen Greedy

1^st place on 36 points – David Geil

2^nd place on 36 points – Paul Lockwood-Lee  

3^rd place on 35 points – Paul Wellington

(Equal 3^rd but missing out on count-back, Ken Greedy)

Next game is at Redland Bay on the 16^th of October at 7.50am tee off.

Regards until then.

Pacific Harbour - BRIBIE ISLAND (SHIELD) AUG 21st 2016

A very good field of 17 players for our yearly special event – The shield game.

A tough but lovely course, gave everyone a chance to shine & fail in equal measure I think, and by playing the game as an Ambrose format, it would have kept many from blowing up & score blowing out.

The spread of points was only over a narrow band, except the winners who managed a great 67pts, but then we’ve come to expect this sort of thing from Phil and whomever he gets teamed up with. That’s four years in a row now, well done Phil & somebody you played with (I think it was Ian).

Sorry for the delay, I’ve been away, see you all soon hopefully.

Now for the results:

NTP on the 7^th – Ian Smith

NTP on the 13^th – Andrew Mather

Mens Long drive 3^rd – Andrew Mather

Ladies Long drive 3rd – Karen Greedy

1^st place on 67nett – Ian Smith & Phil Dawson

2^nd place on 71.25 – Ken Greedy & Paul Wellington  

3^rd place on 72.66 – Mike O’Neill, Judith Chapman & Paul L-L

Big thanks to everyone for taking the time & making the long journey to make the shield game as enjoyable as it was.

Next game is at McLeod on the 18^th of September at 7.00am tee off.

Hope to see many of you there.

Regards.
