Notes about the match:

An eventful day to say the least. The course was set up well, many visitors commented how good the greens were and also of the overall condition of the course which is a tribute to our Superintendent and his team.

On a very hot and sticky day both teams battled out a 4 all draw, with our best chance of a win evaporating when undefeated Bert Brink lost on the 18th. A return to form for John Allen was noted, as was the first win for Chris Palmer. Mr Reliable, Ted Roberts also was successful in a tight finish. The team manager also had a battle on his hands but took the lead after a sandy at the 14th for Par and was never headed after that.

I would like to thank those members of the team who helped out with the BBQ and spotting on the third. Well done guys. A big thank you to Graham Chee for his help on the day.  My thanks must go to all the Team for their dedication and commitment throughout the series. I hope to see you all next year.

On reflection perhaps our biggest disappointment was the match against Everglades at Wyong where we went down 4.5 to 3.5. Everglades then went on to be undefeated and win the Division. Together with runners up Toukley they will enter into the Knockout phase in mid April against the Winners and Runners up of all the other Divisions. 

The Super Senior website is available for all to visit at www.superseniorpennant.com where the draw for the Finals will be posted after 11th April. The competition is open to male golfers aged 65 and over with entries closing on 31st October 2016 for the 2017 Pennant. The entry form will be in the Pro Shop.

Summary: This completes the Divisional Rounds. Gosford #2 has finished tied with Shelly Beach for 4th place.
