7/12/2024 - The Ridge Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 5:50am

We woke up to thunder, lightning and pretty heavy rain and had a lot of doubt that we would be playing but turned up at the golf course as you do and stood around debating whether we would get a game of golf. In the end only one person pulled out and 30 hardy players stood on the first tee.

By the time the first group teed off the rain had dissipated, and the skies had started to clear with no more thunder and lightning.

Umbrellas were not even required. The rain gear was put away as it was too humid to wear it.

Some bunkers were out of play and there was a 300mm preferred lie on the fairways only.

The greens were in very good condition but slow for putting due to the moisture from the recent rain.

The fairways were also a bit moist but not slushy with very few puddles of water on the course. There was reasonable run on the fairways.for the ball.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Denis Daniels

1st Place:                                            Denis Daniels (41 points) on a count back from Peter Bull

30/11/2024 - Woodville Golf Course - 6:10am

For 36 hours prior to tee-off rain poured down over this and many other courses. The rain will have been a welcome change for many of the green-keepers across Sydney due to the extreme heat over the past 7 days.

13 players from Miranda Golf Club teed off on an overcast morning but it did not rain on the course until after we finished our round of golf.

It was however very humid during our round of golf.

The fairways had a very good grass cover and the greens were in good condition albeit challenging as most putts were short of the pin. Water pooled slightly in a few low points on the course and it was a little wet underfoot but the golfers generally enjoyed the conditions and the course. 

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Darren Welsh

Jeff Saunders attended the presentation after the game to show off the scar from his knee replacement surgery. It has been 6 weeks since his surgery but he may not be back at golf for another 2-3 weeks. I am sure that Susan will be very happy for him to play golf on Saturdays again.

14/09/2024 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - Multiplier 6x6x6 - Individual Stableford - 7:00am

30 players from Miranda Golf Club off on a cool morning (7-8 degrees) that quickly warmed up to 25 degrees by mid-morning.

The fairways had a very good grass cover and they had been well mowed producing a reasonable amount of 'run' and the rough was a bit long but in good condition.

The greens were in good condition with a thick mat of grass making putting challenging.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Steve Baker (42 points).

1st Place Team:           Mick Connor, Steve Baker, Joe Taylor, John Dunn (309 points)

2nd Place Team:         Luke Keuenhoff, Adrian Adelerhof, Danny Yu, Geoff Hall (271 points)

The 2-Ball Ambrose competition was played in good spirits with each team having to select 6 drives from each team member..

The 3-Ball Ambrose teams played under Las Vegas Ambrose rules:

Each player hits off the tee, the best shot is selected and all other players pick up their ball and place it within one handspan of the best ball. Only the 2 players that did not have the best shot play a 2nd shot.  If the best 2nd shot is not on the green, the best 2nd shot is selected and all other players pick up their ball and place it within one handspan of the best ball. Only the 2 players that did not have the best 2nd shot play a 3rd shot. This sequence continues until a best shot lands on the green at which point all 3 players can putt.
