News from the Course 18th December

Merry Christmas from the Club

All members and their families are extended the warmest of Christmas cheer and a hope that Santa brings you that special ‘Chrissie’ present!

The course has needed a good soaking and this week we got a few days of that much needed rain. Even better no competition games were affected!

Quite a few members are currently tasting the sweetness of those hams and turkeys that they won in recent rounds and several others are playing those Christmas rounds. You know, the ones that happen only once a year!

Greg Seymour and Greg Rodgers seem to have hit a purple patch of form both winning twice in the week and Phil Hahn has shown the benefit of several practise sessions with his 2nd place on Saturday losing out to old reliable, Phil Lewis.

Unfortunately some members have told me about their exploits on the last three holes where their good rounds have disappeared without a trace. This is often referred to as the ‘Jamberoo triangle’ syndrome. Brian O’Hare told me he was kicking himself after Wednesday where he missed a very short par putt on the last that took him from winning the comp to nowhere on a countback.

While talking about Brian I would like to heartily thank him for his efforts in updating our club web page with a fresh, new and modern look. Many of the old features will soon begin to re-appear so look forward to this.
