A surprisingly small field of four turned out for 9 holes of mulligans despite a beautiful Autumn morning. Even more surprising was that, with exception of Dick Secomb, the scores were extremely poor. Dick scored 20 stableford points to win by 4. Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel & Andy Phillips tied with 16 points with Gus receiving the benefit of the count back system. Dick Cleland took the Mars Bar with 15 points which can be directly attributed to 5 putts on the 13th.
David “Jack” Webster struck top form to sweep aside Andy Spackman in their Jennison Handicap Matchplay Cup semi final 6 & 4. Jack will now meet the all conquering Kobi Wenzel next Saturday in the final. Andy was a bit stiff to meet Jack at the top of his game.
Michael “Tickers” Tickner showed calm nerves as he carded 39 stableford points in windy conditions. Dick Secomb was travelling like a winner with 2 holes to go but his game fell apart under pressure & he had to be satisfied with 2nd place with 38 points.
Bob Taylor’s day started badly & got progressively worse & he collected the Mars Bar with 24 points.
Full results:
Bob Taylor scored 21 stableford points to win today’s mulligan competition. Dick Cleland, whose form is much improved finished 2nd just one point shy on 20. Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel scored 17 while Dick Secomb scored 16. Andy Phillips took the Mars Bar with 15 points.
Seven players faced off on Tuesday with all scoring reasonably well. Pat Hallion & Chris “Critta” Waters both scored 32 points only to find themselves contesting the Mars Bar. One of them would have received the Mars Bar on a count back but your correspondent was not there so we do not know & we do not care.
