MEMBERS poured into the carpark at Emerald Golf Club because all golfers like to play when the conditions are good and their umbrellas are ballast.
It was a stableford event on the menu, and when all the cards arrived back at the tuck shop, carried by golfers in various states of disrepair, it was discovered that two players amassed 38 points.
The bean counters of a usually benevolent class managed to separate the two, with Philip Crossley (21) holding sway over Steve Town (12).
Town won the bikkies in A Grade and Crossley emptied the tray in B Grade.
Town was nearest the pin on the 4th, Peter Glasscock the 7th, Ken Hill the 12th, Peter Clowes the 13th and Ben Balfour pocketed the pro pin lolly on the 18th.
A good roll-up of ladies fought out the stableford event, but in the end, none could match the steady performance of Brodie Reynolds who played winner’s golf when it was needed.
A couple of games were played in the match play club championship with Ken Hill beating Peter Glasscock 3/2 and Ian Scott triumphant over Graham White 1 up.
Wednesday’s Overly Fatheaded Golf (OFG) was a stableford event that made Gerran Wright (30) smile; the annoying smile of a winner when he came in first with 43 points.
Jeffrey Marsh (25) was next with 42, Moss Fuller (25) with 40, Sepp Krummenacher (21) on 38 and Ben Balfour (21) and Graham White (18) both with 37.
Next Saturday was to be the first round of the three-round club championship, but trying to get the AFL grand final shifted was not successful.
Next week will be a stableford event and the club championship will start the following week.
There were objections from the supporters of some AFL teams as they thought the season had ended a few weeks ago.
