St Leonards Golf
10 October，Carnarvon
Course time: 4 hours & 20 minutes
Another beautiful day on the lovely Carnarvon
course, which is swiftly becoming one of our favourites. We have only
been playing there for a few years but it is good value, well designed
and challenging. If I lived 15 minutes nearer, I'd join.
Weather was perfect. Let's hope it continues.
After a fairly high scoring game at Mona Vale, the winning score at
Carnarvon was (on recount) a solid 36 from Andy Dessaix. Well done,
Andy. Quite a creditable result overall, with eight players scoring in
the 30s.
Three match plays were resolved with Tony D, Andy D and Yours Truly
going through to the next round. All matches were very close so well
done, all!
It was pleasing to see Russell experiencing the trials which normally
plague just us mere mortals. He was miffed at having lost two balls in
the trees — so, so common for most of us! He, of course, waltzed out
with five balls in prizes so the universal norms were restored.
No big dramas on the course but the post-game was eventful when I tried
to clear the table and ended up spilling a full schooner on it, some of
the precious fluid splashing onto the trousers of the
always sartorially-clad Grahame.
Fortunately, it was post-presentation so we terminated the meeting and
retired to our vehicles. Sorry, Grahame!
Our next game has been re-scheduled for 23 October at North Ryde. I have
had ten players (eleven, including me) indicate
an interest in playing, so we forge ahead. I will send an invitation as
normal, but these players that have signalled
their intention to play need not reply unless
that changes: Mr Handicapper, Russell, Mike, John, Albert, Chris F,
Grahame, Steve M, Tony W and Andy.
Anyone else, please Reply All to the invitation email as usual.
Stay safe and see you at North Ryde.
Next game: Round 20 | 23 October | North Ryde
(previously set down for 16 October, now 23rd
)
