29 May 2013
Beautiful day for golf. Swapping between full sun and overcast, with a slight breeze out of the Nor Nor West. Kevvy didn't need the jacket.
6 starters - Crathern by two, the Hanging Judge, Damien, Pring and a guest appearance by Kenny Freestone.
Golf didn't live up to the hype, with some very mediocre scores.
Winners
Front nine Kenny (18)
Back nine Paul (18)
Overall Kenny (31)
Very few pars, and a couple of scores that will never see the light of day!
New Handicap - Paul Crathern now 29.8 (30)

Wednesday Comp 23 May 2013
Cool day but played in shirtsleeves. Light south westerly breeze, with all sunshine.
5 starters - Crathern x 2, Hanging Judge, Burrett and Pring.
Overall winner, Burrett with 35 points, a metre off green on the uphill Par 5 fifteenth with a drive and a 5 wood. Luckily he believed us when we told him new starters had to buy the beers! Also birdied that hole.
Others not too flash, Cap'n Kev 30, Paul and Pring 28 and the Judge, 26.
Thursday game in place of Wednesday due to inclement weather forecast for the Wednesday. 6 cars all trying to find the non-existent park at the same time, so a bit hectic. Luckily Paul found 3 spots where we could scrape thru and not use the marked car parks. Scratches not too bad!

Wednesday Competition - 15 May 2013
Only 4 players - Hanging Judge, the two Cratherns and Pring.
Course in reasonable nick, as they'd recently held the Lord Mayor's Trophy event there. Bit soggy underfoot, and not a lot of run.
Rained like hell while taking the receipt back to the parked cars, then shirtsleeves and some sweat until the 16th green, when the heavens opened up again. Only lasted 5 minutes then nothing to the end.
Boyle/K Crathern vs Pring/P Crathern
Front nine - Pring/Paul C 3 up after winning 4 of the first 5 holes
Back nine - all squared away
Overall - Pring/Paul C took the money!!!!
Stableford points, Pring front nine, Boyle back nine and Boyle overall. Scores nothing much to write home (or to Vienna) about.
Mount Barker Sunday 11.00 am.

Wednesday competition - 8 May 2013
Only four starters, Crathern x 2, Hanging Judge and Damien. Toss of balls revealed Cratherns vs The Rest of The World
Great day weather wise & when Paul & the
Judge both parred the first they were away!
No idea where they went but apart
from Don's acceptable 17 on the front, golf was rarely seen in its full glory.
The Cratherns were paired against Damien & Don with a win on the 9th
giving the big Cs the front & a win on the 18th gave the Cs the back.
Boy you can be unlucky!
Don several pars but ultimately only 29pts. KC 29, Paul 25
& Damien 23. I'd like to say all played well but stats don't lie.
New Handicap - Paul Crathern now 29 (actual 28.7)
