Belying the predicted weather patterns Saturday turned out to be an ideal day for golf and this reflected in the scoring. A special thanks to President Ken Fergus who ''marshalled" all day and ensured an appropriate pace of play was maintained.
Competition of the Day was for the Watson Cup (four-ball par) and for the first time the winners receive a monetary payout which I have included in brackets. In first place were Clifford Chan & Lawerence Wong ($50 each) on a score of plus ten - very well done!!! Plus 9 was a popular amongst the also rans with places decided by countback; in second were Grant & Gerard Osborn ($20 each) in third were Frank Garthwaite & Keith Love ($10 each) from Raymond Liong & Shaun Xiong and Glenn Keen & Brian Nixey in that order (all the glory but no money). On a separate note congratulations to Grant Osborn who broke 80 for the first time!
The two's pool accumulated $230 with 16 winners each getting $14.40. The two's jackpot was not struck and now stands at $275. Closest to the pins on 3 & 11 were worth $40 and collected by Andrew Fergus and David Isaac neither of whom managed to secure the subsequent putt thereby missing out on the two's! Keith Love was nearest to the pin on 18 for two and received the Linden Leaves prize. In a day when jackpots carried forward nett eagles advanced to $225.
Our Simon Cup team secured a close win over Harewood 4.5 to 3.5, for those who want more detail Ant will be posting a full report shortly. The Team next takes the track against Waitikiri on the 4 September at Shirley. With only three rounds to go the team is looking for a strong finish and this will be helped by the fact two of the matches are home fixtures.
