There is a group of three who more often than not play together, Martin Patch, Mike Tottenham and Tony Browne, โthe three amigos.โ
Over this past week, all three have stepped up for one win each.
Tony Browne completed the โtrilogyโ in style today with a score of 40 points, and we managed to get him into the Green Jacket.
It wasnโt all Tony as Thierry Petrement, in his last game before flying out for a visit to his home country of France, had his best score for some time. 39 points got him second spot.
We tagged George Mueller โthe bridesmaidโ. What is one down from there? A maid-in- waiting?
Another fine, consistent, effort took George into third place with 37 points.
For the second consecutive game, Dave Arataki put two nines together and recorded a score of 36 points for the fourth spot.
Another one of โthe amigosโ, Martin Patch, won a three way countback on 33 points to grab the final place.

The fairways on the two nines played are in very good condition, with plenty of run. However, for the second course in a week, the greens here, which are usually spotless, are looking pretty sad.
The โCโ course more so, with many bare and darkening patches appearing. However, they did play truly, somehow.
We teed off twenty minutes early and our lead group made good time until about hole six, when coming up behind the dreaded, slow moving six ball, and then it was waiting every shot.
At the second nine, they were still there so, after our caddies complained a lot to the Marshal, it was suggested that we run ahead a few holes and come back later. En route to the fourth hole on โAโ, we passed another two six balls. Looks like high season!
Unfortunately, our next couple of groups werenโt so lucky and two players, not happy about the situation, quit the game.
Finally, our condolences go out to the family and friends of one of Linkโs popular and respected players, ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ง, who sadly, passed away this week. R.I.P Peter.
