Low Scores… Jim Reilly’s Green Jacket

Two buses with eight passengers in each. That sounds simple enough!

There is one golf bag sitting in front of the Bar, and no golfers left inside.. So starts the search, count heads in the buses, count bags loaded, ask who forgot their bag..nothing!

Getting late, let’s go, but wait, who is this running from the back of the building? Yes, there he is.. oh my, sometimes it’s like herding…??

We can never find enough words in describing how good Treasure Hill is, but today was a little let down. All golf courses are going through the big maintenance programs during low season and today we found work on the greens and some of the tee boxes while the rough was a little harsher than usual.

The greens caught out most as, being used to quite quick greens here, they were slow, very slow, patchy and sanded. Judging by the abnormally low scores, we think that was the cause. Not the entire cause because some were just having a bad hair day.

“A” flight was a race in two, both scoring 34 points, but it was Jim Reilly who had the better back nine to win the countback from Wayne Peppernell and get to don the Green Jacket.

Third spot went to the now departed Colin Smith. ( no, not dearly departed, he will be back in November)

“B” flight saw even lower scores with 32 points being the best. That score belonged to first time visitor from Western Australia, Tony Traianon.

Then came a two-way tie for second and third with Len Jones taking the countback from Mike Tottenham. Jim Ferris also had 31 points but lost all the countbacks.

Jim didn’t miss out though as he took Best Front Nine ( non winners) with 19 points.

Nasa Shah took out Best Back Nine ( non winners) with 18 points.

Near pins: Michael Sanzone (2), Wayne Peppernell (6), Iain Jones (13), Peter Henshaw (17)

Winner …”A” flight………Jim Reilly (15)…………………..34 pts c/back

2^nd Place…………………….Wayne Peppernell (15)……….34 pts

3^rd Place…………………….Colin Smith (13)…………………30 pts

Winner…”B” flight………Tony Traianon (24)…………….32 pts

2^nd Place…………………….Len Jones (30)…………………..31 pts c/back

3^rd Place…………………….Mike Tottenham (20)………….31 pts c/back

We have come to learn that the “silly hat” can be given for any silly reason. Colin Smith must have had his mind on upcoming flight to Wales as he started marking a card of someone not in his group, which also had no name on it. But Colin scored it anyway. ”Silly”

Masa Takano played his first game this trip, and seems like he needs a game or two to warm up.

He won the “wig” on countback from another 3 players with 24 points.

Don’t mark too harshly on course condition. This work now will give us the usual immaculate course in just a few weeks, ready for high season.
