The Day

Again the early birds were out for breakfast and a few warm up balls before tee off.  With numbers down from normal due to the Star Deli tournament, 33 tee setters arrived and the Imperial team looked after us all extremely well, even getting us off on time.  Ignore the table below, we have seen Pridsada before, but we welcomed Sarawut for the first time and, as you can see in prizes below, he made a grand entrance to Tee Set.  Welcome back to Tim Frear after 13 weeks and Joe after 8 weeks gallivanting around the US.

The Play

The Monthly Medal and second round of the second Tee Set Eclectic produced some outstanding golf.  Santi Miller had 4 birdies on her way to a 81 (net 67) and 42 stableford points to earn the Monthly Medal for September and a place on the shield.  Her round could have been better had it not been for 2 doubles and a double par 8.

With regular winner Simon away, Barbora rose to the challenge of shooting under 80, with a 78 (net 69) to take Low Gross and Fernando El Guapo El Supremo also brought his A game also with a net 69 to take out Low Net A grade.

Pieter and Chris shared the Low Net B Grade – smiling here as you would after a pair of 69s.

Celebrating his birthday week (!), Pastis Pascal played out of his proverbial to win Low Net C Grade with a 68, have the first par over 30 (alas only one prize allowed unless long drive or NTP).  With a number of pars which became net eagles, Pascal was heard to say that he was eclectically kicking ass today.

Most Improved was shared by Mel and Sarawut – the 100k allowed them to fund their fines.  Again Mark showed us how with the flat stick, mastering the fast but true Imperial greens with 25 putts, with only 11 on one nine – who could blame Brenda for lining up for this shot.

Murcho found a new use for a 100k note with first birdie on the 3rd and Jaroslav joined the Singing President to take the money for First Sandy Par on the 1st hole as played.

As usual on a monthly medal round, we had prizes for longest drive – won by James Ross with a 272 yard drive right down the middle – yes multiple witnesses!  Chris Smith managed to sneak inside others with Nearest to the Pin 4 feet 3 inches…as usual very happy about his win.

Now for the booby prizes, featuring newcomer and extremely good sport Sarawut, as well as traditional cross dresser Mel, joined today by Rod for the skirt photo.  Sarawut’s 54 putts to win Monster Putter must be close to a record and had him running for a disguise.  With the Treasurer away, and not wanting to punish anyone further, we decided not to “award” Most Strokes today, so that John, Pascal, Rod and Sarawut could enjoy an extra beer or frozen margarita and watch the sun set over the 18th hole.

Lots more photos of a great day out here.
