Some things are better left unsaid!! In recent times we have generally been on the receiving end of losses in this inter club competition with Clearwater and Saturday turned out to be no different!!
A group of nearly 50 made the journey but were distinctly lacking when it came time to hand out the prizes. In the Women's section there were 6 possibilities but we failed to feature. In the Men's section we did at least get on the board thanks to Guy Hargreaves who was runner up but the other 11 placings all went Clearwater's way.
Needless to say we were well and truly dealt to for the Trophy where the average of top 75% of Clearwater players was 2 stablefords ahead of us. Unfortunately we have been hampered by playing away on the last four occasions so we look forward to getting them on our home track soon!! It was also interesting to note that a large number of their Woodward cup players were in the field and scored particularly well.
There was however one redeeming factor for the Christchurch contingent namely Ant Doyle who shot a great 64 from the white tees - 7 birdies, 1 eagle and only 1 bogey - playing off a +2 handicap recording 42 points. Be it ever my shame I was unable to back him up and we lost the bragging rights in the "Captain's Match". That said much to my chagrin I believe I was out maneuvered on the tee when Barry Johnson stipulated the match to be on second ball counts where the hole is halved with the first ball - methinks he has seen me putt before!!
