Vets Pennants
The first game of the Vets Pennants was played at Te Ngutu on Monday 17 Sept. in fine but windy conditions. The greens were very fast, making it tough for our guys.
Manukorihi (Yellow) played Inglewood (Black). Due to player unavailability Trevor had to take on two Inglewood players on his own, for which I am truly grateful. Geoff Peters & Peter Loppy had a loss, as did Trevor unsurprisingly. John Davey & Phil Wilson had a half.
Manukorihi (Black) played Urenui. Kevin & John Rayner had a win as did David Butler and Greg Fowler. David had stepped in for one player who was unavailable, which I do appreciate. John van der Leeden and Jim Newlove had a loss.
Well done to all players, with my grateful thanks.
Balls went to Phil Wilson, Trevor Hughes, John Rayner and David Butler .
Next Round at Inglewood on 29th October where Yellow play Fitzroy and Black play Westown (White).

PRO – TIP
Reflections From The Academy / Driving Range.
One of the most effective, yet totally under-used game improvers, a full length mirror or window !! Mirrors show you exactly how you are swinging as opposed to how you think you swing !! The feedback is immediate & factual. Posture, grip, alignment, take-away, your shoulder turn to the top of the backswing, all easily & clearly portrayed. You can even “slow mo” your down-swing !! Trying to copy the Basics of the Golf Swing is the sole reason we study magazines & monitor the Best Players on T.V. Mirrors make the game much easier & can help to improve your game !!
Good Luck & Good Golfing
