Golf: 17 July at Nudgee Golf Club (south course)

Hello everyone

After the rain at Windaroo, I’m sure everyone is looking forward to a nice sunny day for the next round of the 2011 season...I know I am. This round is at Nudgee Golf Club (south course) on Sunday 17 July, arrival at 7.20am for tee-off at 7.38am. Another a late start, so hopefully not too chilly!

The address is 1207 Nudgee Road, Nudgee. The number of the pro shop is 3267 5885 (for cart bookings).

To get there follow the Gateway motorway north from the Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges (nee Gateway bridge). Approximately 9kms north of the Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges take the Nudgee exit (where the Shell Service Station is located). Approximately 100 metres after exiting you will reach a t-intersection, this is Nudgee Road. Turn right into Nudgee Road. This will lead you back over the Gateway Motorway (approximately 500 metres). Once you have crossed over the motorway, entry into Nudgee GC is approximately 100 metres on your right. If you are heading in from the north, take the Nudgee Road exit and veer left into Nudgee Road. The entrance to the golf course is approximately 50 metres on your right. From the city I estimate the drive time to be about 20 minutes (at that time of morning). Please email me (or call) as soon as possible if you are attending the game so I can organise numbers with Nudgee. Remember to check the club blog for news.

Yours,

Windaroo Game 12.06.2011

Here’s a surprise for everyone, it rained for this game, no wonder the poor golf courses around the sunshine state are having such bad time financially, but thanks to a few of our brave souls (10) who turned up to play even in these bad conditions this course had a little to put in the till.

Well done ladies & gents every little helps.

The course was in surprisingly good shape and playing in typical Windaroo fashion (pretty difficult)

Now to the game, due to the course and the wet conditions nobody set the house on fire, with scores staying below the average of recent times.

Commendable scores by Owen, Ian & Mark C (I think Owen was quite surprised to have taken top spot with his 32pts)

The new putting comp, although in need of a tweak or two, was generally received well, Mark C, blew all male competitors away mainly by landing all approach shots 2 or 3 inches off the green, knocking it toward the pin & one putting (I saw this way too often) next time with a dry course he wont be able to stop them short of the green, that’ll sort him out.

Thanks to all for turning up, see you at Nudgee Sth on the 17^th of July.

Here are the results:

1^st place on 32pts – Owen Wright

2^nd place on 31pts – Ian Smith

3^rd place on 30pts – Mark Coster

NTP on the 7^th – Ian Smith

NTP on the 11^th – not taken

MLD on the 13^th – Ian Smith

LLD– not taken

Mens putting prize – Mark Coster

Ladies putting prize – Janine Walker

Mcleod game – 8th May 2011

Just an infamous five turned up for the Mothers day game, you can tell where our priorities fall, on this very pleasant day.

There was the possibility of easy points to be had with such a small field, and everyone came home with very reasonable scores, helped in part by the McLeod course that was playing shorter than normal as the ball was rolling miles after landing.

We had to adjust the amount of points on offer due to the small field, which is something we will continue with in future events where only a few brave souls willing to suffer the wrath of their mothers turn up.

Congrat’s to Dan whose handicap will surely suffer as a result of this game.

Thanks to the ones who turned up, our ugly mugs can be seen on this very site after you’ve read the report.

Here are the results:

1st place on 43pts – Dan Williams
2nd place on 37pts – Owen Wright
3rd place on 37pts – Rodney Topor

NTP on the 6th – Ian Smith
NTP on the 16th – not won
MLD on the 9th – Dan Williams
LLD– N/A
