On a day that started out threatening, then mizzling and finally fine but windy 51 Players (43 men and 8 ladies) tackled the 4BBB stableford format at Gordonvale yesterday. The fairways were full of running, the greens recently renovated and all players eager to not let their partners down. It is great to see the greens with a good coverage of grass: they have come a long way in 12 months. Thanks to Mick and Josh in the clubhouse for attending to our need today.
The highlight of the day was a magnificent hole- in-one by relative newbie Chris Ireland. Yesterday the par 3 5th was playing at 107m and a well placed 9 iron from Chris found the bottom of the cup. After only three years of playing golf this is his second ace and President Pete is not jealous- much! Well done.
Our very generous sponsors today was the Reef Hotel Casino. Where luxury meets excitement and you can dine, stay be entertained or have a little flutter. But remember chances are you are about to lose.
We don't play 4BBBs very often and the one earlier in the year was washed out. There are many vets who have taken up the game recently and perhaps have not played and scored these competitions. So, for future reference see below for what a 4BBB card should look like. Or of course you can just use the MiScore App which does this painlessly.
