Marina Hills – 30th January 2018
Hi to all around the Globe,
Today we had 26 players take part in a 3 player ambrose competition, the course is still holding up and in good condition with some extra roll, it interesting when we play this game that many players feel that if the lower handicaps join up in a team they will automatically win, this is far from the truth, its about how you play on the day as a team. The last couple of times we have played an ambrose teams with high handicaps have won.

Marina Hills – 9th January 2018
Hi to all around the Globe,
Today we took part in a stableford event, with a good turn out of 28 players, the fairways on the course are starting to get hard and producing some extra roll. The greens are ok and holding up at the moment during our dry season.
After the game today the players will be heading to a new presentation bar called Robbies Bar which is located beside Moons bar, this bar has replaced Moons bar this year it has more room inside for everyone.
I know royal Johnny has been feeling that well of late but it hasn’t affected his golf taking out the A Grade best stableford score of 41 points on a count back from Ben Ros, well done Cummo. In the B Grade Paul Fisher scored 43 points to win on a count back from Steve Turner, well done Paul.
PLEASE NOTE: – If you want to take part in the pool comp held at presentation you must put your name down before 3pm so you can be included in the comp.

Marina Hills – 3rd January 2018
Hi to all around the Globe,
Happy New year to all of our members, I trust that you enjoyed your New Years with your families and friends.
Our first game for 2018 was the Monthly Medal for January, we had 22 players turn up for the first game not a great number for a monthly medal game maybe a few sore heads after New Year. The course was ok some of the fairways are in need of mowing the greens were ok not much rain of late so the extra run is helping.
So they are some changes commencing this year with A Grade and B Grade to level out the players in both divisions A grade is now from 0 – 22 and B Grade 23 – 36. So you wouldn’t believe it Freddy Cannova with his high handicap wanted to stay in B Grade, so the winner of A Grade Freddy on a count back from Walter Smith and Warwick Sharpe with 71 nett. The B Grade winner John Sourk 64 nett, well down John. Freddy you wouldn’t have had a chance in B Grade, well done on your first monthly medal win for 2 years I think 2018 mght be your year again.
