Match Play Quarter Finals & 4BBB Par

Tuart Course:  15 July 2017

PROTEST:  The Committee is meeting to determine whether players with dual citizenship are eligible to be SOS members.  Current members being investigated are Stephanie and Glen but there could be many more! 

Not too worried that the protest would be upheld.  These Aussies need the Kiwis to keep the economy going

Self confessed dual citizen - looking a bit more worried than Steffie!

If the protest is upheld, does this mean that Steffie and Glen need to return all of their trophies/cups/golden hole money etc?  Or, will the Committee follow the High Court which held that decisions/laws made by Parliament including ineligible members at the relevant time would stand.  This will not be an easy decision for the Committee.

Competition

Whose legs are these?  First to notify a Committee member with correct name wins a ball!

Escaping the Paparazzi!

Hi Glen, nice red short, but, like Tiger, shouldn’t it be worn on last day of match play comp? Glen ominously replied, this is the last day of the knockout!

Read on to see if Glen could be beaten twice by Stephanie in Match Play.

Wait, don’t take the picture yet, I want to get my top off!

Coach at it again – it is not a penalty before the game!



Fashion firsts continue at Wembley



Been missing my Saturday morning hug!

MATCH PLAY RESULTS

Stephanie Jeffares v Glen Pope:  Stephanie wins 2/1

Red shirt was the right call after all! Steffie now with only her jacket (not top) off. (Ignore the rabble at the back)

Lynne Malone v Gary Burgess:  Gary wins 4/2

Lynne needed to club Gary harder at the start!!

Shelley Yeo v Greg Bennett:  Greg wins 4/3

Always a difficult task to beat Greg in Match Play!

Paul Gardner v Peter Baird:  Peter 2/1

Played last Tuesday and reports firsthand from the players as follows:

Paul:  What a great day it was, apart from my result!  Completely out-played tho the downturn happened after a miracle lost ball on the 4th???!!!   Peter hardly missed a fairway, chipped well and putted far too well for my liking,,,, and the best bit we had an absolute ball chatting (even from 100m away!)

Peter:  Now that Paul has brought up the issue of losing his ball on the 4th I have to admit that, for Paul, it must have been an unnerving experience and an portent  of  things to come! My take was that it must have been an act of celestial intervention and I was clearly fated to win the match!

Whatever the case, while I was working my way up the left side of the 4th fairway, finally finding the green after 4 shots, Paul’s drive found the 2nd bunker on the right from which he hit a soaring iron that appeared to land a meter or two directly behind the flag. However, after checking that he had not eagled the hole, no amount of searching could locate his ball. Presumably, it was either deeply plugged or had hit the flag stick, a sprinkler head, or the cement curb to the flower bed directly behind the green and kept going . . . a long way!

Last word from Paul:  Well deserved win Peter, ''twas fun.

Lollies:  Earle and Ross -5 (Most unusual in a Par game to have only one minus score – bad luck boys!)

The Novelty Chronicles:  no results this week as my roving reporter, having come last, was too busy weeping after the game to pay any attention to the results!

However, course controller Bruce was heard to say before the game that he was very disappointed that there was no closest to the hole in 2 on a par 5 – there is always next week!

BIRDIES

Stephanie on the 7^th; Stan on the 9^th

NEXT WEEK (ie tomorrow):  Winter Cup 1 on the Old Course.  GA Handicaps remain the same for both rounds of Winter Cup;
