Mark “Mouldy” Millward dominated men’s Saturday competition this week. On Saturday Mark scored +1 in a par competition to win comfortably from Dick Cleland and colourful local identity Phillip “Tommo” Thompson who were both on -2. Tommo choked over the last 6 holes allowing Dick to come 2nd on a count back.

At the other end of the field a count back was required to determine the Mars Bar with Trevor Maxted & James Tiver tied on -8. Trevor was found to be the recipient but as he had left before the presentations James got to enjoy the confectionery.

David “Robbie” Robinson continued a recent run of good form to win Saturday’s par event with a score of -1, in cold windy weather. Runner up was Dick Cleland on a count back from Mark “Mouldy” Millward, both on -2. Kobi Wenzel took the Mars Bar while the handicapper rewarded Robbie by reducing his handicap to a well earned 10.

Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel became only the second player in history to ace the deceptively difficult 11th hole at Burra on Saturday. While no stranger to holes-in-one most of Gus’s previous successes have occurred on the short par 8th, a hole some consider better suited to a par 3 course.

Gus played a perfectly measured shot with a hybrid that landed short of the green and released to run all of the way into the hole.

Congratulations on a fine shot that highlighted an otherwise uneventful round of golf.

The semi finals of the Bogisch Handicap Matchplay Cup were played in perfect weather.

Results were:

• David “Jack” Webster defeated Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel 4 & 3
• Kobi Wenzel defeated Boh Wall 3 & 2.

Those not playing matches contested a par bisque competition. This novel version of the par competition enables players to use their handicap strokes however they please introducing an element of strategy and intelligence into the mix. This enabled Dick Cleland, despite a very disappointing game of golf, manipulate his handicaap with such skill that he was a narrow winner beating Trevor Maxted on a count back. At the other end of the spectrum Philip “Tommo” Thomson, despite a reasonable game of golf, took the Mars Bar.
