⛳ Captain vs President Day – Better Late Than Never! ⛳
Sorry for the delay in posting the results from this one, but what a day it was! If you missed it, you missed one of the standout days of the year. The weather was absolutely perfect for this time of year, the course was in sensational condition, and the scoring... well... some of it completely blew my mind. (I'm looking at you, Justin Poole! 👀) To top it all off, we even witnessed a hole in one from one of our favourite members.
The annual battle saw Captain Desmond Brunt's team of hacks take on President Daniel Engel's team of hacks in the ultimate bragging rights contest. Despite Captain Des boasting three of the day's best individual performers, the rest of his troops clearly forgot to turn up, with the President's Team claiming a convincing victory 1205 to 1169! Congratulations to President Daniel Engel and his merry band of hackers. 🏆
Our Player of the Day and A Grade winner was Blake Julin, who made 40 Stableford points look like a casual Sunday stroll around the course. Outstanding golf, Blake! A Grade runner-up was Warren Frost with an excellent 38 points.
Now for the result that nearly had me checking whether someone had hacked the scoring system... B Grade was won by none other than Justin "Plugga" Poole with a superb 38 Stableford points! Surely there must have been a typo? 🤣 Those sneaky Sunday on-course lessons must finally be paying off. Plugga only just held on after a countback from Greg Cake, who was desperately unlucky to miss out.
As if that wasn't enough excitement, Gary Downs stepped onto the second tee and produced the ultimate "drop the mic" moment, firing an incredible hole-in-one! 👏⛳ A fantastic achievement Gary, and one that will be talked about around the clubhouse for a long time to come. Congratulations!
Thanks to everyone who played and made it such a memorable day.
Now... if you want even more drama, make sure you book in for this Saturday's competition. Something tells me you won't want to be hearing about it after the fact. Don't let a serious case of FOMO set in... we'll see you on the tee! 😉⛳
