Stroke Ambrose 4, 13 April 2013

Old Course, Wembley Golf Complex, 13 April 2013.
Stroke Ambrose 4
Prize Sponsor: Earle Scarff

The weather forecasts were not so encouraging for today, but luckily enough we got no rain. Tee off at 9:00am, great for those who had a good rest last night (I had not).

Six teams of four lined up this morning, in the quest for victory and glory, … except for the team “Three Blind Mice” which, due a to a defection, were … just in 3.
We also had 2 guests, not competing for today’s game: Ivan Patchett and Brian Farwell.
Ambrose 4 is a game faster than our usual Stableford, my team completed the first 9 holes in 2 hours, and the full 18 holes in 4 hours on the dot. Normally the Stableford takes about 5 hours. Nonetheless the course marshal (aka Bruce) has been chasing and hurrying us as if we were having a pic-nic?
Anyway, for a change it was nice playing the ball always from the fairway (well,…not exactly always…) and having plenty of pars and birdies.

Here are the scores.

Stroke Ambrose 4, Old Course

Lollies of the day go to:
Three Blind Mice:   
   Ross
   Lynne
   Dave
with a score of 66.3.
In fairness, this did not come as a surprise, as playing in 3 is a clear disadvantage, so great effort, despite the lollies!

5^th Place:

   Earle
   Greg
   Colin
   Ric
with a score of 60.5

4^th Place:

   Lorenzo
   Derek
   Tony
   Stephanie
with a score of 60.0

3^rd Place:

   Gary
   Vickie
   Allan
   Ian
with a score of 59.375 (how can one score 0.375 strokes, I don’t know, did the ball shatter in pieces???)

2^nd Place:

   Glen
   Debbie
   Shelley
   Richard
with a score of 58.875 (…same as above, more shattering of balls this morning)

And the winners of the Ambrose 4 today are:

   Paul
   Malcolm
   Brett
   Peter
with a score of 58.0

Well done!!!
