Round 2: Sunday, 28th September, 2025
Bayviews - 8.00 am tee off
Format – 4 ball ambrose singles
Round 2 of the season and the first team event of the season had to be postponed due to late call off and no fill in available. We shall endeavour to try round 3.
Back to Bayviews it was. Fine weather was forecast, but an early shower was to greet us on arrival at Rosebud, but it was soon to pass by tee time.
A few of the members were thrown by the late switch of format now that the safety net of a team event was withdrawn. Others felt the shackles of being handcuffed to numpties would allow for some exquisite golfing expression.
This was not the case for one of our highly ranked club golfers, Stork. But for some late mail the big man was set to head to Lang Lang, a mere 85kms to where he was supposed to be.
Rattled he was, carding a poor 9 points for the front 9. Although he dug deep on the return, a total of 25 points for the day could on mean one thing, NAGA.
The MGC history pages would also show that stopping at headquarters on his way home to receive his awards, is something Stork was not willing to participate in.
In the winner’s circle was last year’s player of the year Clayton. Strolled round the course with consummate ease to lodge a scorecard of 40 points (with 2 outs) beating Joe in a countback.
Clayton was later to declare he’d set a handicap target of 30 by seasons end.
Nearest the pins on the day were as follows; hole 3 – Girdy, hole 6 – Barra, hole 11 – Barra, hole 15 – Tich and hole 17 – Joe.
Secret six was won by Clayton with 15 points.
Handicap adjustments as follows; Clayton 39 to 37, red 12 to 13, Hubba 22 to 23 and Stork 11 to 12.
A fine spread laid out from the event management team with chicken curry and rhubarb and apple crumble to follow hmmmm
