3rd December 2016 - The Ridge Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 05:45am

Chickens & Prawns were on the menu for lunch after golf.and we had 29 starters for the event.

The flies were horrible and the course was a little dry but the greens offset the effects of the heat by being a little longer than usual. The rest of the course was in good condition as we expect but also the bunkers were full of foot holes again as we have grown to expect from The Ridge.

The Guzzler Cup winner was Mark Santer. Congratulations to Mark.

12th November 2016 - Calderrwood Valley Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 6:30am

16 players were not afraid of getting their panties wet and traveled to Calderwood to play golf.

The weather looked pretty horrible when we awoke this morning and it rained all the way down to Calderwood but by tee off time at 6:30am there was only a light drizzle that did not even warrant getting out my umbrella.

It continued to drizzle for the first two holes after which the drizzle stopped and within 40 minutes the humidity started to rise as the clouds parted to reveal a warm blue sky. The temperature increased as did the flies.

5th November 2016 - The Ridge Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 5:50am

It was 22 degrees at 4:45am when I left home and when we readied ourselves to tee off the flies were everywhere but after we teed off the light breeze seemed to get rid of the flies. After 9 holes the strong winds that had been forecast arrived and made the golf challenging for some of the 29 players that had started the round. The course was in very good condition.

22 October 2016 - Boomerang Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 6:00am

Wow! What a Day. Some players literally hit their balls out of sight!

14 players hit off on a morning that was very wet and threatening in Sydney with lightning and thunder causing all but the hardiest of our golfers to pull out because they didn't want to get their panties wet.

We had our umbrellas out for about 2 minutes but it was certainly cool and the fog was present for the first 15 holes which made it difficult to see more than 25 metres in front of you. Players had to call "Clear" when they left the green to avoid the following group hitting up dangerously. Luckily there were no injuries and everyone had a good day. The only problem was that I honestly though that we would turn around and come home after we made the obligatory appearance at the course and I didn't buy any ice for the beer. We had the BBQ at the end of the game with the presentation but there was no cold beer. Sorry guys!

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Mick Connor who announced that he was stoked as he had not won in two years.

8th October 2016 - The Ridge Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 6:20am

The forecast of rain early in the day threatened but nothing eventuated. It was 19 degrees at 5:30am and if it were not for breeze that was quite strong it times it could have been a very hot day for golf.

The course was in good condition but as is usual for the us the bunkers were littered with footprints from the previous day's golfers and the greens were badly pitted from unrepaired divots. You would think that for $49 per game the course management would at least prepare the course better as a service to its paying customers.

22 players teed off but unfortunately Scott Whyte suffered an injury to his shoulder or back in the first few holes and he was forced to 'retire injured'.

The Guzzlers Cup winner was Chris Lee

Joe Taylor achieved an Eagle on the 18th hole for which he received 3 golf balls.

28 Players teed off on a cool but dry morning. Pars of the course were still a bit wet underfoot but the greens were lightning fast taking most players by surprise.

1 group off 13th Hole (par 3)
1 group off 12th Hole  (Par 4)

The Challenge was played off the White tees and the competition was a Matchplay teams event where 2 players from the Hackers were matched against 2 players from the Miranda Golf Club. The team (2 players) that had the best 2 Ball Best Ball Stableford score for a hole 'won that hole'. After 18 holes the team (2) that had won the most holes won the day for that group of 4 players.

After 18 Holes Miranda Golf Club has won 6 Holes and The Hackers had won 6 Holes with 2 holes tied so for the first time since the competition started in 1997 there was a DRAW. Congratulations to all of those played in this fiercely contested event. All games were played with good sportsmanship and good humour.

A great day was had by all despite the cold start (4 degrees). It took at least 7 holes for the players to start shedding their jumpers or wind breakers but some came back on again after we finished. It was quite warm in the sun after the game but very cool in the shade.
