How many of us would like to hit 18 greens in regulation time and then take two putts per green for one round?
Rory McIlroy did just that in the final round of the Open, but it wasn’t good enough as Cameron Smith played a fantastic round to win his first major. A record for Rory, but no silverware.
Ol’ Spoekie was back on Wednesday as he teamed up with visitor Chris Steynsvaart to win a Stableford Betterball with 42 points, whatever Spoeks is more money in the captain’s fund.
The second was another visitor, John Webster, playing with Mick Marriot and scoring 39 points. Third of 37, Denis Brown and Wayne Simpson with visitor Chris getting the only 2-club. Umdoni’s Mike Eley and Geoff Thommasen dipped into their retirement pot to pay for the polishing of the stone.
The ladies had their annual general meeting on Saturday and Mandy Jones, who is also treasurer, took over as captain.
Hayley Gilliver is vice and serving on the committee are Esme Hadley, Linda Hall, Alex Morris and Delores McAuliffe. Congratulations ladies and happy new year.
The men contested their monthly P&G Construction betterball with Wayne Simpson moving up in the credits starting Wednesday with Brian Richards to win the whiskey for their total of 43 points.
Second on 41 were Kevin Ramkisson and former junior Reuben Kisten returning for a short vacation and third were captain Bob Hall and John Mills with 39.
Ian Walker and Wayne Simpson were closest to bowling, but neither could bowl at a 2-club and The Stone went the way of a few visitors in Dion and Janko Barnard
Wednesday is an individual Stableford just to prepare us for the Club Championships next weekend.
The draw will take place on Thursday morning, so this is your last chance to enter your name.
Pamphlet footnote: Have you noticed how hard it is to lose an old golf ball – they’re like bad pennies, they keep coming back.
