Division 4 Pennants: The second round took place under sunny skies at a beautifully presented Gosnells course. Patrick continued his good form and despite being 2-down early fought back with solid “fairways and greens” golf to win 2/1. Yours truly was again next off at 6. After a short outing the previous week and such immaculate greens, I was determined to see significantly more of the golf course, eventually triumphing with a long 2 putt on the 18th for a 1-up victory. We had a guest appearance from Hall-Of-Famer Brian Peake at No. 5. He also had the crowd on the edge of their seats, with the match going down 18 and finishing all square. His opponent made a great birdie at the last to square the match after witnessing quote “Some of the greatest putting I’ve ever seen.” Next off was Norm Burd. Norm was determined to keep the excitement levels up, also sending his match down the last. He stayed away from the water, well away from it in fact, missing the green to the left and unfortunately losing a high-standard match 1-down. Craig Hocking, who had been placed on suicide watch after his unfortunate loss last week, was promoted up the order in what proved to be an inspired piece of captaincy. Craig smashed his opponent 6/5, and got into the club house at 3-under par for his 13 holes. Great golf! Luke Findlater was in the No. 2 position. His exceptional ball striking continued for a second straight week, resulting in a comfortable 3/2 victory despite his report that he 3-putted every second green. Guru Goss (still our spiritual leader), played at No. 1. He got to the turn playing beautiful golf, registering 1-under par for the front 9. The only problem was, he found himself 3-down! He fought back to get to 1-down, before eventually going down 2/1 once the tie was in the bag. Well played guys in what we hope will be an important away victory. Next week away again @ Hartfield.
