Wednesday The 19th March 2008: Bangpra ( Stableford) Hello Bangpra, long time so see, or that was the mood of the golfers as we set off for Bangpra, as for me it was looking forward to renewing acquaintance with my 'Bangpra Rainbow Ice Cream' when I finished and sat in the Restaurant.
So off we went to the Course and a quick book in and then off we went. I always remember this as one of the premium courses around, however on this day I left with split feelings. Stood on the first tee and looking down the fairway it looked magnificent, but as we went around it was noticeable that there was too much rock hard ground.
The greens also were a bit of a quandary as we got the 'Bye Bye Ball' from the caddies but the greens were not consistent. So hot weather, dry conditions and variable greens, lead to dried out and drained golfers in the showers. Mind most, believe it or not, really enjoyed their rounds. Strange people Golfers.
Back at Bert's it was found that the scores were not good and for the first time this Year, Steve had not won. Of course we were all very sad for him and he promised to rectify this slip up as soon as possible.
In the A Flight, 0 to 13, the winner was Perry McNeely with 36 points ahead of John Vincent in second with 35 points. In third with 33 points was Doug Maiko and in fourth was Pat Hanafin with 32 points.
In the B Flight the winner was Carole Kubicki with 34 points ahead of Laurie Garrat in second with 33 points with Dick Warberg in third with 32 points and Mick O'Meara in fourth with 30 points ahead of Pat Morrissey on countback.
Best part of the day?, I got my Rainbow Ice Cream, and it was really good. T.T.F.N.
