Barossa Valley golf – Tuesday December 15th

5 Burra girls played at the Barossa Valley golf club on Tuesday. All had a fun day, however the heat & humidity puffed them out & the scores were not good enough to make it in prize winners in the field of 46 players.

Peggy Gebhardt was the best of the bunch with 32 pts & had a ‘straight’ hitting day, coming home with 2 prizes for the Nearest to the Pins on holes 6 & 15.

Next week is the final round this year & there will be a special competition before we head out for Christmas lunch.

Five players took part in today’s 9 hole mulligan event and only 2 points separated first & last. Russell “Gus The Good GuY” Wenzel won with 18 points while Dick Secomb collected the Mars Bar with 16.

Warnings of damaging winds could not stop six intrepid golfers from returning to competition on Saturday after a suspension due to covid-19.

Andy Phillips was the only player that could cope with the wild conditions returning a handicap equalling score of square in a par round. I will not waste space mentioning the other scores here. Fans will be pleased, however, to note that colourful local identity Philip “Tommo” Thomson has returned to competition. Tommo collected the Mars Bar.
