SPRING CUP - ROUND 2

 Perfect conditions greeted the players for the second round of The Spring Cup and this year marked its 44th year



After a confusing start where Shelly's patience was yet again put to the test as a result of two late withdrawals and requests to change the pairings (see below) play eventually commenced on time.

Quantum physics is easier to understand than our tee time sheet

After a complete reshuffle of the field two of the fancied favorites for the Cup, Andrea and Keith, ended up in the same four ball thereby creating a match play like scenario.

Peter forgot to print off his score card prior to teeing off so he had to improvise by using an A4 size card in his clipboard.


Sadly Peter also had a shocking day with his putter, 5 putting one hole. However, it was not all bad as he's driving from the tee was superb.


Peter would have been well pleased with a result like this

Some hooning was also reported and the Hoon's were caught red handed by one of our on course commentators who shall remain nameless.


SPOTS OF BOVVER

There were many talked about after the round but only one captured on film, and that was Keith on the lucky 13th.


THE RESULTS


THE WINNER OF THE SPRING CUP

Derek Longhurst with a brilliant display of consistency with 71 in the first round followed by  72 again today took out the Cup for a third time to be the most prolific winner of the converted trophy.


 Well done Derek

For those wondering who this is, he was also captured hooning in an earlier photo.

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO PUGGY

Glen was hit by a car while out cycling on Monday and raced off to emergency for treatment. As you can see from the photo following he has sustained quite some damage to his left leg. 

\
We all wish you well Glen and hope for a speedy recovery.


I'll leave you with this thought
