PSC golf from the Billabong Golf Bar
Wednesday, Sept. 17, Green Valley – Stableford
Its not often you can see a golfer shoot gross 72 and 73 unless they are pros, but that has happened at the Billabong over the last week, with Paul Greenaway shooting 73 off his 8 handicap at Silky Oak starting with 3 birdies in a row, then Roger Ison shot 72 off his 11 handicap at Green Valley on Wednesday, a great effort lads.
With seven groups playing today, of course Roger’s 47 points would take the top spot and he brought all the players a beer in celebration. John Player marked his card and was heard to say this is boring writing down pars all the time, but he did manage to have a hick up when he double hit his ball and finished up with a double bogie on one of the holes. It makes you realize just how great his round really was.
Bob and Owen at Burapha.
The course is in great condition but I am still getting the grumble about how the course is laid out. I think all players would like the management to put the course back to the configuration of what it used to be regardless of the extra couple of minutes it takes that to play.
There were some good scores today with Neil Harvey taking 5th place on a count back over Bob Philp with 36 points, coming in 4th was Nitchawan Khiaophuang (Sa) with 38 points being beaten by Jonathon Pratt, also 38 points taking 3rd. Second place went to Bill Marsden with a great 40 points, and taking top spot as previously mentioned in the report was Roger Ison with 47 points. Thanks from all the golfers for the drink mate.
There were two 2s coming from J.J. Harney and Jonathon Pratt.
If you are looking for a game give Bob a call on 0822043411 or call into the bar and put your name on the sheet and enjoy a cold beer.
Friday, Sept. 19, Burapha A and B – Stableford
It was a small field full of quality today rather than quantity, playing Burapha A and B off the whites. The course is in grand condition with the greens being lightening fast, and the way the staff welcome you with a big smile is always a pleasure to be there.
It was a fast round of golf – only 3 and ¾ hours and we were in the showers. It just seemed to flow even though the course had a lot of players on it.
The scores were quite good, in saying that Capt Bob playing with a new driver which didn’t miss a fairway won the day with 38 points and he managed to get the only two of the day. Owen Walkley, one of his playing partners, got the second spot with 36 points and the scores went down hill from there.
It was extremely hot but no rain threatened us so all in all a great day out.
