SOS GOLF - Old Course Par Comp - 29 February 2020

A slightly muggy day with good cloud cover greeted members for the scheduled Par Bisque competition. However, a late call from the Club Vice-Captain changed the format to Par  which, as I understand it, enabled members to participate in the IGA $50 weekly competition and for the club to receive gift cards from Wembley Golf.

A number of card scoring methods were attempted in the earlier holes with most players falling in to line by the 18th!

Ready to rumble ! !

Here are the first group ready to see if they can get down, or around, the dogs leg on the first hole!
The weather forecast was for possible showers in the morning however, the rain clouds in the background failed to precipitate!

At the end of the round this group produced
a 2nd, 4th, 6th & 19th placings

The par format took its toll on many otherwise consistent players with the inevitable number of  magnificent approach shots being destroyed by the short game inconsistencies!

How many putts did it take ! !


GOLDEN HOLE

Some nearside green shots were holed out and long putts were dropped, but the Golden Hole did not go off taking its total to around $125 or thereabouts.


Why did the ball decide to stop there !!
Bernie's  fine T shot on the 11th hole narrowly missed being bunkered and,
her 2nd shot was also cleanly hit and advanced nicely toward the green!

THE RESULTS

Keith Barrow won the competition and a $45 gift voucher on a count-back from Tony Gooch.
The results of the par competition, which included 7 birdies, were:
