With the last two games being washed out and I mean washed out course closed access via boat, Derek who joined us yesterday, a past Captain of the Club who was giving us daily updates until the water started flowing over the top of his gumboots. Great to see you hope you can join us on the 8th for a game and lunch.
We were greeted by the ever helpful and smiling Pro for which nothing seems too much trouble however he did assign us the job of picking a cart and writing our names next to it on a sheet for some this seemed too hard, so the President completed the task with ease. as for the first group we won’t name names here, but they happily toddled off teed off and left there card on the table next to the carts which was promptly delivered by postman Ken thank you Ken.
We are keenly awaiting the return of our NTP & Ball Superintendent after his knee replacement.
As his replacement is currently struggling with his new found role & sporting a 1 in 3 or 33% record of remembering to bring them to the game, for those of you who noticed the updated nearest the pin markers courtesy of Kooindah Waters that is the reason why.
But thankfully Cam was wearing his shorts!!!
The course was in great order after the recent rain the greens a little slow like the later groups
We need to concentrate on our speed of play as most courses monitor it closely as does one member, we won’t mention your name as you delivered the card on the first!
There should have been no looking for lost balls yesterday and with carts with distance screens you should already know what club you are going to to hit. Hit your-shot jump in the cart holding your club replace and grab new club at next shot.
Seemed like everyone enjoy the format it is a team game where you encourage each other to play your best golf. There is no I in team but five in individual brilliance, I know you will count them Zac.
