Pickles Stars in Saturday Par Event

Players not good enough to make the Jennison Cup final played a par competition payed a par event on Saturday. Richard “Pickles” Matz put together a fine score of 3 up to win comfortably. Runner up and only other player to beat his handicap was the fast improving Michael Shepley with 1 up. Watch this player closely in the club championships as the only thing that could prevent him from winning C grade is if he is promoted to B grade before the cut off.

Jack Wester blasts a Scorching42

A small field of 6 played on Tuesday as many, no doubt, were exhausted from their efforts in the Heritage Classic. The Heritage Classic field were lucky that Jack spent the public holiday selling motor spirit to those that could afford it rather than playing golf.

The Jennison Handicap Matchplay Cup semi-finals were decided on Saturday. Peter Weiss continues to power his way through opponents to become the bookmakers favourite for the final. Peter defeated Richard “Pickles” Matz 3&2 in a fine display of power golf. In the other semi-final Dick Cleland continued to outwit his opponents beating Big Trev Maxted 4&2. Dick continued to show the guile built up over countless years on golf courses.

The players bundled out of the Jennison Cup previously played a stroke round, no doubt due to lobbying by the lower handicap players. This was won by Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel with a net 71, one stroke ahead of Pat Hallion. Kael Harkness took the Mars Bar.

Philip “Tommo” Thomson won Tuesday’s stableford with an outstanding score of 37. Tommo was points 2 clear of Big Trevor Maxted. Tommo has been in excellent form since his shock loss in the first round of the Jennison Cup. Tommo was an unlucky second on the previous Saturday with 38 points, one shy of Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel. Perhaps Tommo is more comfortable in the less personal atmosphere of normal competition than then one on one cut and thruust of match play.
