After all the excitement and rigors of the Sardine Run, it was back to basics at Scottburgh Golf Club last Wednesday. Predictably there was a depleted field, some getting over the aches and strains of three days of Sardine Run golf.
TM Moodley managed to play to his handicap with 36 points and Brian Richards was three behind on 33 for second place. No-one found the hidden holes and the two club pool was boosted for Saturday’s game as no one rolled one in.
DisChem was the sponsor for the monthly medal which was played last Saturday. The Gilliver boys, Pete and son Jason, took a cue from mom Hayley’s success in the Sardine Run by cleaning up in the A division. Jason shot 68 gross from a plus three handicap with dad Pete taking the nett with 72. In the B division it was almost a re-run of the Championships. John Mills took the gross with 82 and adversary Heera Mahabeer the nett with 75. Anton Visage claimed the C division with 34 points and Christo Steynvaart was one adrift with 33. For his 69 nett, John Mills was declared medalist for June.
The hidden holes are becoming as rare as hen’s teeth, but there was a surfeit of two clubs. Jason Gilliver got two, John Mills and Doc Mahabeer got one each and F van Brakel holed his second shot on the par four first hole!
This Wednesday (28th) it’s an individual Stableford to get us in tune and ready for Saturday’s Umthunzi hotel sponsored day.
Flyer’s footnote: Golf was named by drunken Scots listening to barking dogs. The game is played by millions of men usually on Saturday whose wives think that they’re out there having fun.
