May 2011 - Kangaroo Valley Golf Club
We are fortunate to have such a helpful person in Sam welcome us with his smile when we enter the Pro Shop each Saturday morning to register for our round of golf each Saturday morning.
Thanks Sam, we really appreciate all the effort you put in to making our day enjoyable.
The March Medal Round was a really close competition was won comfortably with a nett round of 65 by a visitor, Ross Tomes, playing off a handicap of 31.
John Seyffer, with a nett 71, was second but won the Medal (only a member can win the medal), and was pressed by the next six players as only three strokes separated them.
Ron Bower was second with a nett 72 beating Ray Michelsons into third on a countback.
The going was tough for 2 April Stapleford competition and John Seyffer was again in the winner’s circle with 36 points.
Ray Michelsons once more was in the minor placings, finishing second with 32 points by beating Norris Ingrisch on a countback. Saturday 09 April was a Par competition and the first extremely heavy fog, for the year, made the round very challenging.
Not only was there a heavy atmosphere reducing the distance the ball travelled through the air, but the wet fairways prevented it from advancing far once it landed.
The changing speed of the greens became another difficulty once the fog began to lift and the greens dried out.
Nobody was able to play to their handicap and Ron Bower won with a score -1 beating Geoff Marsh, on a countback with John Innes finishing third on a countback beating John Seyffer into fourth spot.
Until next time Seventy Plus
