Format: 2 ball, best ball (6 drives each)
Annual trip to the splendid Cape Schanck, although they had construction works going on, which closed the 9th hole and replaced with a temporary, it still rates as one of the best.
First pair’s event of the season, and couple of scratchings would see big Nick filling in for Mitch to partner Koala and the welcome sight of Stevie Gray for his first hit out of the season.
6 drives each was the vote and had a few captains worried before the tee-off. However, this wasn’t an issue for the two Billys, Barra and Macster, but more like the overall performance required to avoid the twirly hats just wasn’t there, with a net score of 72.5.
At the top end it was the brothers MacAvoy, Deeks and Shug, who would prove too good on the day, winning on a countback over Christophe and Alan with a net score of 59 to don the tweed.
In Shug’s absence for presentations Deeks was more than happy to scoop a double dose of prizes out the coffers.
Nearest the pins for the day went to Christophe (3rd), Red (4th), Deeks (7th), Nick (14th), Snappy Tom (16th).
The winning team of Deeks and Shug would both be cut 1 shot each with Deeks going from 15 to 14 and Shugs 25 to 24. The bottom four all went out a shot, Barra 19 to 20, Billy Mac equaling the club record out to 40, previously held by Billy Mac, Andy Mac 24 to 25 and Clayton 33 to 34.
Thanks to Deeks, Billy Mac and Tich for managing the day.
