Golfers come out all guns blazing
The hidden holes were elsewhere and there was a plethora of two clubs, Tony Moore having two.
Golf at Scottburgh GC last Saturday was not so much of the infamous Chicago massacre but shooting at the flagstick with golf balls and golf clubs being the weapons of choice.
The ladies, dressed in their red and white finery, played for the Lady Presidents trophy, whilst the men, suitably garbed, played a betterball Stableford.
The two scores were then added together to decide the overall winners.
Lauren Davey came out all guns/clubs blazing as she scored a remarkable 43 points to subdue the rest of the ladies.
Dolores McAuliffe gave her best with a 38 point total with Debbie du Toit scoring 34 to take third place.
The men’s scores were not announced but the 39 scored by John Mills and Thys Swart added to Lauren’s 43 was good enough to give them first place.
Pathma Moodley chose Tony Power and Brian Richards as partners and were only just beaten into second by one point with 81.
Dolores’s 38 helped husband Hilton and Willie Creaney into third place also with 81, losing the count out.
The hidden holes were elsewhere and there was a plethora of two clubs, Tony Moore having two.
The captain also had a good day in the collection of fines which included wrong dress code, holding hands down the fairway, and wearing sister Kelly’s shorts, no names mentioned here but mine’s a Low Flyer.
The Jones family of Mandy, Gary and brother Clive paid their respects to the Stone.
Snacks were provided by Lady President Mary Eckley and went down well with cold beers and cocktails for the ladies.
The previous Wednesday saw us back to betterball Stableford but no change in the winner’s circle as favourites Tony Power and Hans Beuthe scored ‘Diana Dors’ 44 to win by one from John Mills and Thys Swart on 43.
Tony also found the hidden holes but strangely there were no 2- clubs recorded.
Roly Tickle and Geoff Thommasen were paraded up front to receive the Stone.
On a sad note, members mourned the recent death of Alan Eriksen’s wife, Pam.
Condolences go out to Alan and his family from the committee and members.
Flyer’s footnote: When a player standing up to a ball armed with only a club, undergoes a shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, curling of the toes, clenched teeth, muscle spasms and paralysis, he is then finally ready to drive off the first tee.
