BURAPHA
Monday 21st April 2008

After the recent spate of holidays, it was nice to get back to the normal green fee rate, even though there are four more to come in May, including two Mondays, the fifth and nineteenth.

37 Outbackers played off the Blue Tees of the C & D course, which proved to play long and difficult. However, the golf was not only about the best score in the division but also it was a triple rollover twos day, with an estimated 6K in the pot. One golfer, who would probably prefer not to be mentioned, had a two but decided not to pay the additional premium required to enter the rollover.

Capt' Bob said, " look at this card, no name or handicap!" Then Terry, his marker told him, "that's your card Bob". "Didn't you fill it in for me," Bob replied,"what kind of marker are you?" Back to the golf, Bernie had a steady round to take the Div A crown and Norm put in yet another good days work to take Div C honours. However, it was the girls in Div B that stole the day, May with 38 pts beating Don Pavlovic on countback, from regular outbacker Neil, with a fine 37pts and Pimusa in 4th on 36. Why the girls? you may ask, yes, you've guessed it, there were only 2 two's today and they both came from the lovely Pimusa, who promptly rang the bell for all to enjoy her jackpot win. Well played you girls!

A total of 37 golfers played today divided into 3 divisions

PHOENIX
Tuesday 22nd April

Not many Outbackers braved the early 8am. start at this beautifully presented Phoenix course. Lakes and Ocean were the nines of the day, and the players that turned up were treated to a comfortable 4 hour walk round in a very tolerable temperature. It just goes to show you can beat the system - PLAY EARLY! There is no doubt, this is the best time of the day to play! This is a regular Outback Golf Bar slot for the next six weeks, get up and give it a try.

Barry Chadbourn had a slow start, scratching the first two holes, before a local beer put him into a different gear as he played the other sixteen holes in level twos, to win the day with 32 points. The remaining golfers claimed they had lost their cards as they preferred not to declare their scores, albeit that John Spiller was second and Nick Falconer, who missed the first two holes, was third. See if you can get up next time Nick!.

KHAO KHEOW
Wednesday 23rd April

B & C nines today on this great Pete Dye course and sadly most of the Outbackers couldn't beat it! Has the handicapper at long last caught up with everybody? The weather was generally overcast like most of the golf, but May Larose was the bright spot of the day with her 38 points off handicap 17 (soon to be 16). Well played May!

EMERALD
Friday 25th April

A comfortable 35 minutes from the Outback Golf Bar in their kangaroo logo'd air conditioned minibus, is the wonderful Emerald course. No one there today, except for the Beaver Bar. The Outbackers teed off on time but generally the course was the winner with only Don & David playing to handicap or better. This may be a short course but that doesn't make it easy. The weather behaved itself until later in the day, when there were some serious storms not only around the course, but also all the way back up the highway.
