Such A Glorious Day For Golf
With the forecast of sunshine, light winds and a temperature expected to reach 20 degrees, it was the perfect May day for golf. Although with some of the scores witnessed, mine included, a shout of Mayday would have been appropriate. Did you know last Sunday was Star Wars celebration day .... May the 4th be with you.
We had a neat field of 28 golfers which made for an even and fun competition. In the sixes two teams prevailed. Fairway Phil, Bolty, Bruce of the red rag variety and David of the Peart variety had no trouble taking out the first six with 30 points. David started par, par, par on holes 10 through 12 to give the team a flying start then Bolty birdied Tipperary to keep the hot streak going. Easy peasy from there.
Mahmoud, Vaughn, Senaka and John Marsh helped themselves to the next 2 sets with 42 and 44 points respectively.
Hamish shouted for a March birthday and we all sang a song to help celebrate that. Thank you Hamish.
John Marsh added to the day's riches winning the raffle.
This birthday photo was clearly taken before the weekly sixes were awarded as our team's donation to the winners is still on the table !
Talking Of Winners ........
Have no idea why but I copped some flak for my choice of golfing attire this week. It was the last day of summer for goodness sake.
Anyway, what we should recognise and indeed need to recognise is a fine round of golf yesterday by that man Murray Edgar. History shows Murray last won the Blue Jacket early last year so it's high time he was on the podium. Playing off a 4 handicap and scoring 40 points means Murray knocked it round in par 71 yesterday. Apparently the putter was running hot.
We asked Murray which award held more prestige, his photo on the wall for his club championship victory, or the Blue Jacket. " Ask me a hard one " said Murray.
Included in his round of 71 were 3 birdies so it's a night in Balclutha wearing the Blue Jacket.
Still got a few hats for sale, especially if anyone wants a pink one. Go on, you know you want to.
Another wonderful Wednesday out on the beautiful golf course that is Balmacewen.
