Club Captains Report
On Saturday the 14th July we had a Joll Cup Spare Day.
We had a Stableford Competition plus count your total putts in the round.
Saturday was the pick of the weekend weather-wise, a nice winters day with lots of sunshine and no wind to speak of. We had a good turnout of golfers for the stableford competition to make the most of that weather.
The course, and especially the greens, are looking in a fantastic condition at the moment and it is a pleasure to play on them.

The winner of the Putting competition was the “King of the Twos” Ivor Sarten with 25 putts in total.
There were three twos on Saturday. Shane Weir 3rd, Nathan Loppy 11th, Steven Voyle 3rd (Two balls each on the board).
Raffle Results: S.Voyle, Robert, Carl Beal, Jeff Jane, Pauline, Brian Mullins, Colin Upson, Kevin Mancer.
This Saturday the 21st July we have the Joll Cup Finals.
Bruce Taylor v Robert Middleton.
The Rest will have a Russian Stableford Competition (Teams of two with Stableford points combined).
The Joll Cup Flights Final was played on Saturday 14th July and was won by Robbie Busing v Jeff Jane, 1up on the eighteenth.

Thank You.

Le Dejeuner Catering Wednesday Club.
What a great day in paradise, playing golf at the Manukorihi golf course that looked amazing. This was the third round of stroke play, with Robert Middleton having a great day with a 65 nett, Trevor Hughes and Tony Bromfield both 68, Robbie Busing, John Vanders and Pete Wills with a 70 nett. The best putters of the day were Pete Wills and Nathan Russ with 26 putts (Editor’s note: I understand the prize went to Nathan after Wills was disqualified for spilling the President’s beer). Robbie and Nathan both had twos, no-one picked up the jackpot, now at $136.00. Leading the stroke play after three rounds is Robert Middleton on 201 from Peter Loppy on 208.
Le Dejeuner Raffle winners, Don Bowers, Tony Bromfield, Austin Wood and Trevor Hughes.
See you all next week for the fourth round of stroke play.
Cheers

PRO – TIP
LEFT ARM CONTROL is a common term used in teaching & likened to using a compass. Putting the pin of the compass into the paper & scribing an arc with the pencil you will make a perfect arc all the time. The pin represents your head & the pencil your LEFT ARM. (RIGHT ARM for Lefties). Keeping the head steady & your LEFT ARM STRAIGHT & FIRM gives you much more control over the club & therefore the ball. The same applies to your PUTTING. Keeping the LEFT ARM & WRIST FIRM is an absolute must to be a sound Putter. You must try not to change the position of the LEFT ARM & WRIST from start to finish!
Good Luck & Good Golfing
Professional John Garner.
