Where did I park my Cart?
It was a long and dusty day on the course on Wednesday. Playing the ninth hole Les Hanigan had one of those moments. You know those times when it all just doesn’t fit together. Finishing the hole Les walked to the cart and sat there waiting for his partner to get in.
Les was a little surprised when a player from the nearby 5th tee hopped in.
Oops wrong cart!
His playing partners were apparently merciless.
The latest results
The greens were slow with plenty of new growth showing after the renovations and several players seemed to love the conditions. On Wednesday Italo Baraldi putted the lights out scoring a mammoth 46 points, our Gerringong visitor Paul Rein was an unlucky second with an outstanding 44, John Hol 41, Steve Rippon 40 and Greg Clough a nice 39 managed the lesser placings. Rippon playing off a 2 handicap managed a very tidy 65 off the stick showing his short game expertise. He chipped in 3 times during the round including one from over the back of 8, even JA was impressed.
Pam Middlebrook had a day to remember on Tuesday winning the A grade medal, gross and putting. She also won the overall prize of the day.
