And hopefully the Old Timers will be playing many more in the future! :up:

PS: Has anybody heard from Juan lately? He seems to have gone AWOL!

Hi Guys,

just played my second round at Gregoire with Tarheel and it turned out to be another terrific tussle. Tarheel got an amazing early eagle, which gave him the early lead. I fought back to even things up and then hit a shocker of a drive on nine to give him a comfortable lead. I managed somewhat of a comeback, but left three putts looking into the hole, while he putted beautifully. In the end, there was very little in it, but on this occasions, Tarheel took the honours with a great round, seven shots better than his first round.

The down side of his great round is that it cost him another shot on his handicap. Not every cloud has a silver lining! ;)

Well played Brad!

Cheers

Brad

Final round on Steve's Golden Gate Heights. A very challenging course.

Hi Guys,

Rd 2 at Prospect Pass is now completed, with Juan submitting a very steady par round.

Juan, you are driving the ball brilliantly, just need to get those approach shots a bit closer and you will be lowering your score at a great rate of knots.

Here are the results for Rd 2.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

just watched Galen's final round at Golden Gate Heights. After a slow start he ran off a string of five birdies and then proceeded to grab five more on the back nine. Altogether a very solid round, given the slow start.

Cheers

Brad

Hi Guys,

just watched Randy's Rd 4 against Galen's round and what a close contest it was. Randy got a jump on Galen with a few early birdies, but brought him back into the game with his bogey on Hole 7, compared to Galen's birdie on the same hole. Galen then took the lead with several birdies, as Randy had a quiet period through the middle of the back nine. At the end however, Randy scored a couple of late birdies that Galen couldn't match, bring the scores close again. Unfortunately, Hole 7 proved to be the only difference, with the other 17 holes squared.

Well played lads. I enjoyed watching it.

Just waiting on Juan's two rounds at Golden Gate Heights and we will have our final results.

Cheers

Brad

No worries Juan.

Sometimes real life gets in the way of the enjoyment of playing JN6. Please don't feel pressured to complete your rounds.

Cheers

Brad

PS: I was just having a look at the city in which you live. What a beautiful part of the world! :up:
