Mae Jo: Tuesday 1 October 2013

               We were blessed by an overcast sky with a few sprinkles of rain and a light breeze – perfectly comfortable weather for golf. Twenty-two members and an up-coming member (Graham Adams) joined the monthly Best Ball net tournament. Today was Kim Anderson’s first day as a legal member, and he came in with a bang.


Stuart, Kim, Ted

            Our members showed their golf and team skills with 9 of the 11 teams shooting under par (net). We had a tie for third place between Christian & Roger and Stuart Duncan & Kim; on the countback, it was Kim’s bogey on number 18 that brought them in to take third place at 66 net. Taking second place was the team of Ted Taylor & Tony Guardino with a 64 net -- well done. First place, with a great score of 62 net, went to the team of John Dalton and Steve Bjorge (who just retired the day before!). Welcome Steve – a great start to your retirement!
          For some unknown reasons, the final foursome came in about an hour after everyone else finished. This resulted in some good comaraderie and a few beers more than usual while we awaited the arrival of the winners. 
         Thanks to everyone for joining in the competition and helping to make it a socially enjoyable experience!
