Post Round 2 Review: St. Andrew's
Nerves were a plenty on the first tee during round 2 of the GMGA season, as 29 players took to the field with one late withdrawal from Anthony Bishop who couldn't handle the heat.
The days highlights began with Irish O’Dea staying put in his golf cart after hitting 2 tee balls into dead elephant's territory on the first tee! Rick Tapper didn’t do much better after topping 2 balls off the tee to wipe the first hole and finishing with $50 worth of fines! Terrence Thean and Brian Kenny had a day to remember in what can only be described as poo-golf, with 14 points & 15 points respectively. WahWahWeeWah!
New GMGA recruit Daniel Popovic shot a lazy 1 over the card to finish with 32 points and took home some red wine and golf balls for winning longest drive & 2nd shot NTP. Patty Sherlock also took out NTP on the Par-3, 11th hole, almost holing out after rolling it off the backbord to 3 feet!
Michael Stapleton had a measley 25 points and decided to take his anger out on the rules committee, but with tough conditions and low scores, the day belonged to Tom ‘Rock’ Caven, who shot 34 points with 4 wipes! Congratulations Tom... although I’m sure you will be stripped of your win before the year's end, when the committee realise you were wearing your swimsuit underneath (see left). #Cheat #FineHim
But the day belonged to newcomer Jacob Bevanda who held his nerve in a thrilling playoff after shooting 44 points! Jacob holed a fantastic 15 footer to secure the blue jacket, and the win saw his handicap wound-in from 21 to 15! Congratulations Jacob! #WindHimIn
With a month in between rounds, we have just enough time for the vein in Stapo’s neck to calm down and we look forward to Round 3 of GMGA, which will take place at 13th Beach on Saturday November 23rd!
