Sunday Competition

16/03/14:  Patawalonga

Conditions at the Pat were cool for the 14 starters. Wind threatened to have an impact on the scores but it wasn't evident in the wash up. Course was in good nick & greens good pace but pitch repairers should be sighted before players are allowed to hit off.  Some greens looked like a hailstorm had passed through.

Bronte said Ross Higgins has played with us on 2 previous occasions and Bronte is a man to be believed.  I think Ross can be compared to a Bay Sheffield betting bolter. He'd gone unnoticed with returns of 26 & 27 points previously but jumped the field with a 4 point riddled 46 over the 18.  The other unlucky Crathern (P) was brave but ultimately left pondering with 43 big ones. Kenny Freestone did a 'Damien'& nursed his way home with a 'couldabeen' 38 along with Dave Hammond. On 37 was Murray Virgin followed by Eric Kelly 35, Nick 34, Noel 34, Bonzo 33, Cap'n Kev 32, Dave O 31 and Damien & Ross 30.
Nearest the pin was Ross T & long Drive was Ross H. An expensive ball day for the club but a good day for the lads.  Good to see Dave & Murray back and look forward to Ross's appointment with the handicapper.  Eric would be another prospective new member but apparently will be travelling most of the year.  Retirement - it's a challenge!


Next game Mt Compass (Fleurieu) 13 April 10am.
