Marina Hills – 30th May 2017
Hi to all around the Globe,
Today being the fifth Tuesday in the month we held a fun day which was 3 clubs and a putter. We had 20 players turn up to test their ability with just 3 clubs and a putter and there were some pretty good scores considering.
In A Grade Steve Arnold and Warwick Sharpe tied on 34 stable points, Steve was the winner on a countback. In the B Grade Harry Nieuwland scored 38 points to win ahead of Joe Giovence on 33 on a countback from Nev Chandler Cross and Mike Powell.

Hi to all around the Globe,
Today we had 31 players take part in our Stroke Vs Par match, the course is still not looking the best but there are some little sprouts of grass appearing. The greens were very slow today they havent been cut for about a week and a challenging to say the least.
Great game by the B Grades Eric Jackson and John Sourk both scoring +8 today. Peter Toperoso in A Grade +4 with the runners up Allen Lewis and Ken Bosward +3 we had to countback 11 holes to declare the winner of the runner up.

Marina Hills – 2nd May 2017
Hi to all around the Globe,
Well it’s May already and the year is flying by our first Tuesday of the Month so of course it’s our Monthly Medal Stroke/Count putts. The course is showing just a little sign of some green in certain areas, we have been getting afternoon thunderstorms almost each day but unfortunately all the rain not landing on the course, Im sure in just a couple of months we will be complaining because it’s too wet and muddy.
A couple of the greens have been sand in an attempt to try to level them out they are still quite bumpy and even.
Some good rounds today Ben Williams had a 75 off the stick, Steve Lockhard was awarded spit the dummy for throwing his club and walking off after 8 holes, we will miss you Steve safe travel back to Australia.
