Sunday, 24th April, 2011
Format : Stableford
Easter Sunday had the Society converge on the pictuesque Cape Schanck. With only 2 outings of the season left, the attention had become focused on the ‘NAGA of the Year’. The organisers had dutifully kept the members up to speed midweek with the current status of who the main contenders were, this did little more than put a few on edge leading into the day’s event. So much so that on the night of Saturday, 23rd April, 2011 the Macster stayed home, wait there’s more. On Sunday, 24th April, 2011 the Macster took a turn of driving to the golf. These events and dates were marked down in all the members calendars, rarer than haleys comet.
Sportsbets leading contender to take out all the Easter eggs was Joe, who had just came of the Asian PGA tour and had played no fewer than 37 rounds of golf in the week leading up to Sunday.
.It was also noted that Joe had brought some ‘Russian water’ to steady the nerves during the round……….
This tactic seemed to work a treat, as long as it was just far enough out of the back swing, things would work out just fine. And just fine they did with our leading cossack coming home with a fine score of 39 points.
Joe - 39 points
It was prizes galore for Joe, who was given the ‘Grey Goose’ bottle cooler, the ‘Grey Goose’ drink bottle, t-shirts, stubby holders, hats and of course, a sleeve of the MGC pro-v1 golf balls, quality.
With the focus still on ‘NAGA of the Year’. Bob was first in the clubhouse with a miserable 19 points and facing back to back trophies, things weren’t looking good for him as he wallowed in self pity until Clayton carded a mere 17 points. But it would be Baby Koala who would play a stinker with 16 points and keep this tail-end title race open to last round.
Baby Koala - 16 points
Nearest the pins for the day went to Hughesy x 2, (3rd, 6th), Clayton (4th), Christophe (7th) and Shug (14th) all received hats, stubby holders and a couple of MGC pro-v1 golf balls.
Special mention to Billy Mac who fell in the water whilst trying to retrieve one of the slashed up Top Flite balls he found when he inadvertently stumbled across the driving range whilst looking for his ‘no limits’ ball………classic Macster.
The handicappers were next to officiate and Joe was cut 3 shots to 13, but the focus was on whether any of the tail enders would get a wee slide to help them on the last day……………no chance
