Jennison Cup Semi Finalists Decided

The quarter finals of the Jennison Cup, handicap match play, were decided on Saturday providing some closely fought matches. Mark “Mouldy” Millward defeated the long hitting Christopher “Critta” Waters 1 up. Critta scored 2 eagles in the first 3 hols but Mouldy showed exceptional patience and got on with his own game while Critta crashed to earth. Peter Weiss beat Big Trevor Maxted 3 & 1 while Dick Cleland needed 19 holes to defeat a much impoved Eddie “The Flying Dutchman” Van Keulen. The other semi final was played earlier with Philip “Tommo” Thomson successful over Andy Phillips.

Players not involved in matches played a Par round. Despite near perfect conditions the scores were so poor it is your correspondent’s view that the only prize that should have been handed out was the Mars Bar. Colourful local identity, Philip “Tommo” Thomson beat David “Robbie” Robinson on a count back both returning dismal scores of -3. Michael “Tickers” Tickner, on the other hand, really earned the Mars Bar with a score of -10.

Full results:

  • -3 Philip Thomson, David Robinson
  • -4 Bob Perry
  • -5 Kobi Wenzel
  • -6 Richard Matz, Richard Secomb
  • -7 Pat Hallion
  • -8 Russell Wenzel
  • -10 Michael Tickner (Mars Bar)

Dave Robbie in Rare Form

David “Robbie” Robinson took out Saturday’s stableford with a stunning score of 46 points. Some sympathy must be felt for runner up, Andy Spackman, who scored an impressive 44 points. Robbie has been threatening to post a score for some time and must have finally got his tee shots to go where he wanted them to. There was a big gap to third placed Mark “Mouldy” Millward and there were a number of scores under 30. A count back was required to decide the Mars Bar which went to Brett Wallis from Eddie “The Flying Dutchman” Van Keulen. Thier scores were so low we have decided not to share them with you.

Results:

  • 46 – David Robinson
  • 44 – Andrew Spackman
  • 38 – Mark Millward
  • 37 – Russell Wenzel
  • 35 – Richard Secomb
  • 34 – Trevor Maxted, Michael Tickner, Kobi Wenzel
  • 33 – Philip Thomson
  • 32 – Andrew Phillips
  • 30 – Pat Hallion
  • 29 – Peter Weiss
  • 28 – Richard Matz
  • 26 – Richard Cleland
  • 25 – David Webster
  • 21 – Edward Van Keulen, Brett Wallis

Kobi Wenzel Wins Tuesday Golf

Taking advantage of school holidays to get in some extra golf, Kobi Wenzel posted 41 stableford points to win Tuesday’s competition. A three way tie for second on 38 points required a count back to separate Michael “Tickers” Tickner from David Robbie” Robinson & Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel. Scores were above average with 7 of the 11 players scoring 36 or better. The other 4 scores were not so good.

Results:

  • 41 – Kobi Wenzel
  • 38 – Michael Tickner, David Robinson, Russell Wenzel
  • 37 – Chris Waters
  • 36 – Richard Cleland, Andrew Phillips
  • 31 – Pat Hallion
  • 30 – Philip Thomson
  • 28 – David Webster
  • 26 – Klaus Heymann (Mars Bar)

Players Struggle in Perfect Conditions

Six players competed in today’s stableford but the scores were less than impressive. The winner was Andy Phillips with 34 points. Runner up was Dick Cleland with 32 on a count back from Chris “Critta” Waters.

The big disappointment was colourful local identity Phillip “Tommo” Thomson, who turned in the lead with 17 points, but he faded on the back 9 adding just 11 more points.

Results:

  • 34 – Andrew Phillips
  • 32 – Richard Cleland, Chris Waters
  • 28 – Philip Thomson, Russell Wenzel
  • 24 – Pat Hallion
Andy Phillips lets one rip..

Gus The Good Guy Wins 1st Event of 2020, But Scores Are Unimpressive

Russell “Gus The Good Guy’ Wenzel won the first competition of 2020, a par round, with a score of 1 up, one worse than his handicap. There was a three way tie for second between Bill “Noddy” McMahon, Andy Phillips & Michael “Tickers” Tickner all square, with Tickers getting the ball on a count back. Pat Hallion ironically won both the birdie ball and the Mars Bar with -5. The world handicapping system is due to be implemented on January 30 at which time these scores would be downgraded by 2 strokes.

Results:

  • +1 – Russell Wenzel
  • 0 – Bill McMahon, Andy Phillips, Michael Tickner
  • -1 – Andrew Spackman, Peter Weiss (one to watch)
  • -3 – Richard Matz, Philip Thomson
  • -5 – Pat Hallion
Peter Weiss, the big improver

Tommo Triumphant

Thomo not happy after big defeat
Tommo Triumphant

Colourful local identity Philip “Tommo” Thomson showed magnificent composure to win today’s stableford event by 2 strokes. Tommo scored 40 points with an even 20/20 split.

Runner up was Andy Spackman on 38 points while Dick Cleland and Big Trev Maxted both finished on 37.

A count back was required between Richard Secomb & Richard “Pickles” Matz to decide the Mars Bar.
