Christmas Cup

 

A splendid day for a game of golf 
 




or doing some last minute Christmas shopping




The early 7:24 am start was painful for some (we all know who) causing a shemozzle and shuffling a couple of members around. Thanks for your patience Don & Andrea

Oh Shelley, what did you think when putting Steph into group 2? 






                                                        BEFORE THE GAME


Birgit, Derek & Frances in festive attires



Paul B. not looking bad either

and Frances just having fun


some wise words 



Shelley, Birgit & Karl - Karl's wife couldn't decide 
which shirt to buy, so she tailored 1 out of 2
- Shelley's festive shirt is still sitting at home.
OK, bring it on next year!

good to see Michael/Mick back on the course



Boris & Greg

Gary pink-ish

what a cute couple, Paul B still smiling
before hitting his first ball






                                                            ON THE COURSE


Paul B marked his ball " HO HO HO" he will never do that again.

Paul B's first drive,
the ladies tee didn't fit onto the photo, too far away


Instead of driving it 200 m down the fairway, it flew straight up and landed 1 m in front of the green teebox. Paul later admitted it was a trick shot only performed to entertain his audience.

Thanks Paul, it worked a treat, the rest of the group had a couple of giggles, also known as "Schadenfreude" and relaxed for their own drives.



Paul's 2nd drive

Andrea had a great first 9, but ran in a couple of troubles, but never fails to laugh about herself. 
                                                                    True golf spirit

Andrea pole dancing at hole # 12, yep she double bogeyd that one.
luckily she has 2 shots there

and just kicking it out on #14


bunker precision work
done by Paul B. and Birgit





Citations on the course:

Mark Wilson was heard swearing "yet another f#$%ing par" 
and was granted 5 bogeys on the back nine. Yes there is a golf god.

Lynne about Mark Smith: "I have never seen someone playing not good and staying so calm". That's the golf spirit....one week a champ next week the lollies.

Karl to Birgit: " I wanna get better without practicing" Won't happen!



"Don't drink and drive" Gardi's drive on the 9th
after popping a can of beer. Was it his first?






            
Hole #18: Karl placed his 2nd shot around 60 m from the pin, pitched it on and right into the hole. What a birdie!! Champ Karl!

Karl @ hole 18 



There were other dramas, but let's share that later.


                                                                THE RESULTS


Novelties:

LDM1              Keith beaten by Gardi
NTP2                Andrea the one and only
LDW5              Stiff knees beaten by Andrea
NTPI210           Keith the other one and only
NTB14              a lot of contesters, France, Stiff, Gary, but Gardi got closest 


The more important results:

  • Karl won with a fantastic score of 41, 26 pts on the back 9!!
  • Runner-up Captain Gerry not bad either, his secret is to practice at Wanneroo and watches lots of golf you-tube videos.
  • Mark Wilson beaten by Gerry on countback by 2 points, his secret is his virtual golf range at home.








                                                        THE GOLDEN HOLE


Here the hero of the minute, Karl with Andrea helping to measure and confirm the win. 






but a couple of minutes later power woman Lynne put her ball a meter from the pin. 

Lynne was in a fierce battle with Mark to winning the lollies and after checking the distance she told him: "I will use my 6 rescue perfect for 126 m...and how right she was.
Well done Lynne. 

could have been a hole in 1


    







no hard feelings,
Karl, there are more golden holes to win


Only 46 bugs, but the Golden Hole is not
about the money, but the honor.




Thanks Hunter, we all will take the advise on board.
No lollies next week


                                                                        HOLE 19

                                                The Raffle featured by Vicky & France




It started ok with a test

looked ok for the real world stuff

then unraveled

That drink must have been spiked
or those women had too much sun 
NOPE!  they are just happy & having fun.




Anyway, Gardi won the raffle


                                                                        LATERON

Nuria couldn't play as she needed yet another haircut -
