WINNERS: K.LITTLE & P.DAVIS( NOT PICTURED) [11.75] 61.25PTS

It’s the last round of the year and for some, it will be a welcome respite from golf, whilst for others, it will be a spring-board to a new year of improved golf with better equipment (if Santa comes to the party), new and simpler golf […]

GUZZLERS CUP CHAMPION & OUTRIGHT WINNER: JOY MESURIA [15] 37PTS C/B

2-DEC-2018: SINGLE STABLEFORD-MUFTI DAY

OUTRIGHT WINNER: KEN LITTLE [16] 42PTS

Isn’t it strange, you start writing about rare and quirky golf decisions two weeks ago, like completing a swing when a clubhead falls off in either the back-swing (not counted) or down-swing (counted as one-shot) and sure enough, a very similar situation occurred in the recent Australian PGA […]

25-NOV-2018: CABRAMATTA-2BBB

WINNERS: JOY MESURIA & NOEL CONNOLLY 47PTS

Its been several years since we played on the Kikuyu and Couch fairways and Penncross (Bentgrass) greens of Cabramatta golf course, and as usual, they appeared in excellent condition.

21-OCT-2018: Bankstown GC- Matchplay Final + Stableford

2018 SINGLE MATCHPLAY CHAMPION: RYAN CASSIN

After the wash out in the Lawson Cup at Penrith last week, its been three weeks of no golf to report on (with a wry smile on the scribe’s face).

The thunderstorms that hit Sydney on Friday evening must have frightened a few players away today because […]

30-SEP-2018: 2BBB STABLEFORD

WINNERS:JOHN VARRICA & PHIL KILAZOGLOU 47PTS C/B

It’s the last day in September and tomorrow is a public holiday, making the weekend extra long.

How many people know why we have a long weekend on the first Monday in October each year (well, for the ACT, NSW and SA anyway)?

Is it to […]

23-SEP-2018: Camden GC-Single Stableford

OUTRIGHT WINNER: CLAUDE POLETTI [22] 44PTS C/B

Its been 16 months since Revesby last played here and it was good to see 26 players roll up on the social golf-friendly course to play a single stableford event at 6:45am.

The relatively short course (around 5,900 metres) allows the social golfer to go for broke […]

Its been three weeks of no golf, so 28 eager golfers showed up today in another attempt to conquer the benign Bankstown golf course, not realising their delusion and poor memory of past misdeeds.
