Marina Hills 25th April 2017

Hi to All around the Globe,

Today we played a stableford event with 28 players turning up to play, we were missing a few Aussie’s with Anzac Day ceremony but still a great turn out for this time of year.

The winner of A Grade today had a great round Steve Arnold had slipped out to a handicap of 14 and when I gave him his card before he teed off I asked him what was going on to which he replied I been having a few problem but I think I got it worked out, at the end of his round with a score of 75 off the stick and 47 yes 47 stableford point Steve Arnold wins only by 8 shots of Ben Ros with 39pts.

It B grade Sam Kielley won with 42 pts and his mate Doc Von Dippie got runner up with 41 pts, this is Doc’s last game as to is heading home so safe travel Doc see you again soon.

Marina Hills 18th April 2017

Hi to All around the Globe,

Today we played a stableford aggregate with 26 players turning up to play, after a little recent rain some golfer were lucky and found some tuffs of grass on the fairway. The greens aren’t so great at the moment they are pretty uneven but I guess we all have to putt under the same conditions.

The scores were much closer today with the winner scoring 74 points and three teams all on 73 so the runner up Terry Chapman & Keith Sparks won on a count back from Anthony & John Cummins and also Peter Green and Nick Marshall.

Hi to all around the Globe,

We had 30 players today battle in out in the hot conditions in a stableford event. The fairways are dusty and dry the greens are very bumpy but its all about the social golf with your mates that’s why we do it.

In A grade Terry Kerim had a win with 38 pts and I was runner up with 36pts on a count back from Steve Arnold.

In the B grade Mike Evart had 43pts great score in these conditions runner up Sam Kielley  40 on a count back from Keith Sparks.

Marina Hills – 4th April 2017

Hi to All around the Globe,

Well it’s April all ready the year is going fast and soon we will be getting ready to head to Thailand, the nomination form will be available on our website and also our Facebook page after the 7th April so plenty of time to get yourself organised if your interested in attending the Thai Trip.

Today 32 players turn up to take part in the April Monthly Medal, the water pump at the course has been fixed and they are putting some water on the course by it still looks like the Sahara desert.  The greens are average but that’s part of the challenge and it’s the same for all of us.

Only 6 players out of 32 played par or better.

In A grade John Cummins with 72 was the runner up, complaining to me that I couldn’t even let a poor pensioner the liberty of winning, hence I won with 71 nett one shot ahead of Royal Johnny.

In the B Grade Eric Brown had 68 nett to win ahead of Steve Tye on 69 nett.
