Well… summer has arrived with a vengeance!

A sweltering 26 degrees at tee off, climbing quickly to 32 with the baking sun and a howling Northerly drying the sweat off the brow before it even had the chance to come out! No doubt there will be a few lobsters out there tonight who forgot to slip, slop, slap, slide, shimmy and shake.  

 

In 1st place playing some seriously good golf – 61 off the beater – and by all accounts with one of the crew playing half the round putting with a 3 wood after some overly exuberant celebrations that resulted in a broken putter – Team RIZZA

 

In 2nd place, with a magnificent 10 birdies, 2 eagles and 0 bogeys for 58 off the stick (and with the help of some ‘outrageous’ handicap padding from Shayne) – Team KERSHAW

and in 3rd place,  65 off the stick with 8 birdies and only one blemish on the 8th – Team PANOVSKI 

A great turn out, with 100 members (and most sporting the Club shirts) including a good cohort of ‘weekday’ golfers in testing conditions that made the cold brews taste sooooo much better post round. There were many tales of near misses and great escapes, long drives and missed putts, of bladed chips and chip-ins and plenty of banter amongst the groups.

 

An honourable mention to Team PEARCE (M) who were 8 under through their 1st 11 holes, but stumbled (and tired) at the infamous 12th hole after all 4 quality golfers failed to get 1/2 way up the hill!
