It was hard too know what was the preferred topic of conversation in the Clubhouse on Saturday - golf or fashion?
The dynamic duo of Brian Nixey & Alan Scott had dressed in matching outfits for the Pairs Stableford Competition. There was some debate over the exact nature of the colour of their identical shirts some supporting "hot pink" others "fuchsia", whatever, it was impossible to miss them especially when they were joined by Stu Kemp who was wearing one the same! My shirt and that of Murray Smith "paled" into insignificance by comparison.
The clash with their playing partner Dodge Healy in his "orange" outfit was understandably graphic and probably entailed Keith Love, the fourth member, wearing sunglasses for the whole round to avoid being dazzled. The best comment of the day came from Mr JD who suggested "They had dressed themselves from the $2 shop". As usual Steve Savill was quick to pass comment until it was pointed "avocado" green shirt actually matched that of Mr JD and was something "going on" which kept him quiet for all of 5 minutes!!
On the golf front the first round of matchplay for the Godby Trophy was scheduled with some interesting results coming to the fore. Low handicappers Nic Fry and Paul Dunn had opening round victories in spite of giving away numerous shots as did the youngest member in the field Mitchell Vincent. While Tony Park may have been the 32nd qualifier he is not to be underestimated in matchplay and Gerard Osborn was always in for a hard tussle which proved to be the case as the match went to the 20th before Tony emerged as the winner. Glenn Bongartz and Rod Hayes also engaged in a titanic struggle with the 3rd being halved in two's and an extra hole needed before Glenn advanced to the second round. Good luck to the 16 who move on.
Steve Hicks & Steve Ellis proved a fearsome combination in the pairs amassing 75 points to claim first place from Keith Love & Dodge Healy in second on 74 by countback from Mark Dunn & Simon Yorke with Tom Maling and Yoshi Tamaki a point further back but one ahead of the Glass brothers Warren and Jim.
The two's pool climbed to $240 with 10 winners receiving $24 each, the jackpot now stands at $305 after there were no claimants. The nett eagles pool continues to grow as well with hole 10 being drawn by Matthew Needs but with no winners - it now registers $130. Nearest the pins were worth $35 and were paid to Jim Paulsen (no.3) and Bruce Todd (n0.11). Nearest to the pin on 18 for two sponsored by Linden Leaves was collected by Brad Clark.
