2 May 2015 - Woolooware - Stableford - Round 3 Matchplay Championships - 6:14am

It rained very heavily once again during the week and most of the course was under water on Wednesday necessitating the course being closed.

26 players teed off amid threatening rain but by the end of the first hole the first group played 18 holes without being uninterrupted by rain. The day was predominantly free of rain and some players in the latter groups got a bit wet on the last 2 holes and even got a bit sun burnt.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Chris Lee who also won the Guzzlers Guzzler by bettering the scores of the other weekly winners over the past 6 months.

1st Place:   Chris Lee (37)
2nd Place: Matt Whibley (36) on a count back from Frank Fuller

25 April 2015 - Kareela - Stableford - 6.30am

Matchplay was deferred to the following week due to the 100 Year Anniversary of Anzac Day and the associated celebrations in which some of our members will participate.

21 players teed off on a warm sunny morning on a course that was wet underfoot (especially the back nine holes) which was understandable in light of the recent deluge resulting from the storms that have hammered Sydney over the past week.

The Guzzlers Cup winner was Graham Clarke. Graham Clarke also won the 6 monthly competition known as the Guzzler's Guzzler for which he will receive a trophy at the presentation held at the end of the year. Graham was a clear winner with 155 points ahead of Tim Tillbrook and Chris Lee who tied for 2nd place with 124 points.

1st Place:   Graham Clarke (40)
2nd Place: Ben Everson (39)
3rd Place: Ian Tillbrook (38) on a count back from Chris Lee & Garry Daniels
Pink Ball: Grant Thompson (26)

There is an allegation that Ben Everson signed a card that had been scored incorrectly so The Handicapper & Captain may have to consider whether this misdemeanour is sufficient for him to be disqualified and ineligible for 2nd Prize. He may also receive a Pink Ball for being disqualified.

Ball Prizes:
2nd Hole (NTP): Sam Yu
8th Hole (NTP): Tim Pooley
17th Hole (NTP)): Rob Guidi
7th Hole (D&P): Sam Yu
