MARRIOT REWARDS STUART WITH 2nd 2008 MAJOR

Clearly all the planets must have been in alignment, and those who had religious beliefs prayed to their God the night before. It can be the only explanation for the magnificent weather we experienced over the weekend, of what is considered to be the highlight of the ACGA annual playing calendar.

 

“And with the parting of the clouds, the earth’s eternal heater did shine its ambient rays on the righteous, the not so righteous and even our Captain”. Welcome to the Marriot Tudor Park.

 

As is customary with the Marriot chain, the facilities were first class both on and off course. The food was good, the fitness centre was first class and after dinner both the card and domino schools where in full swing.

Congratulations go to all members who attended for conducting themselves to the highest standards without having to be reminded that they were representing both themselves and the Association.

 

OK to business. The course was not considered “difficult” given its wide open spaces and very few out of bounds. However, the course still required accurate driving and ball placement to ensure the benefits that the course had to offer were taken advantage of. At the end of the first days play there were no complaints about the condition or standard of the course. Top 4 at the end of 18 holes were as follows:

 

Stuart Austrie – 40 points

Randy Plowright – 39 Points

Sedwick Gordon – 38 points

Jacqui Harbour – 36 points

 

A fantastic score by Stuart who continues to demonstrate a rich vein of form. Special mention must go to Jacqui Harbour for making a top 4 finish for the first time. Clearly she was not attending just to make up the numbers and I for one am pleased with her passion and commitment both to her golf, her gender and the Association. A mention must also go to Cora Edwards who finished with 33 points after the first day. There is more than enough evidence around to provide notice that these girls are looking for a podium finish.

 

There were a large number of golfers on 33 points or more all of whom were in with a shout of the title.

 

Day 2 started at 7.54 for the leading group and again the round was played out in warm, glorious sunshine. Stuart Austrie carried on where he left off. Some would say he did enough to win whilst keeping his eye on the title. I say he played the pants off all of us and won it the first day and only had to play in his comfort zone the following day. Final scores were:

 

Steve Garner – 41 points

Chris Thomas – 37 points

Keith Murray – 37 points

Cassius Brown – 36 points

 

With a score of 35 points Stuart held off the field but  a special mention must go to Steve Garner who tore the course up with a stunning 41 points.

 

Well done Stuart for another great performance and a lesson to us all that a visit the Handicap Doctor should not be an excuse for poor future performance.
