Saturday 17-May-2025 at Hillview:

17 players attempted to play golf on Saturday at Hillview teeing off the hardest combination with Heritage Nine first up. And it didn’t take long for Heritage to bare its teeth  with five eighths and a half hitting their tee shot left towards the corner post of the out of bounds perimeter fence!  Not a lot of options with the ball sitting in soft sand, trees in front of you, chain wire fence to the left of you ( except Tamps & Linds ) just got to hope you can get back on the  fairway and get down for a bogey on the easiest rated hole your going to play all day

Dominic only scored 25 points!

Humour wasn’t far off with Simple Minds v Joye’s. Tampo on the second tee plays his shot and heading left. Silence followed by twanggggggg he’s hit the power tower and the comments were “ there goes High Wycombe no power for the rest of the week “   “ All flights cancelled the flight tower have lost power “    And we couldn’t find his ball, probably vaporised!

Did you hear Dom only had 25 points!

A couple of pairs matches SM’s v Joye’s with the score not reflecting the match. SM’s four down after seven holes and then we were able to claw our way back to be one down after eleven. Still one down after sixteen and then Joseph played a sensational 3rd shot off the sand to within 18 inches of the hole. Taps in for a par with two shots on the hole game over. Joye’s win 7/4

The other match Boags Bros v ANZAC’s was coming down to the wire with Boags one up on the last. Steve is sitting two, one hundred meters out and just needs to hit the green and two putt for the win. Aussie has other ideas. He hits a draw, controlled snap hook or just a plain hook out over the water on 18 and onto the green for four, two putts for a bogey, wins the hole after Steve imploded and walked off with a seven! After shaking hands and exchanging  pleasantries 

Have I mentioned Dominic only scored 25 points!

I reckon it would be interesting to see everyone’s front nine stableford scores compared to the back nine. Once again a quick front and slower back but an enjoyable walk. Maybe not for Dom who only had 25 points!

Winner initially OJ and now Muzza 34 points. Runner up initially Muzza and now OJ 34 points. Fintan ( and by the way I’m not on his list ) unlucky to beat on a count back also 34 points 3rd.

Now do the trophies need to be swapped? If I was in Muzza’s shoes I’d be asking for my bottle of Jacks! Then how does Dom      ( who only scored 25 points ) get his fifty bucks back off OJ?
