Links Golf Report — Eastern Star (Public Holiday Edition)

A deceptively breezy day at Eastern Star, with the tricky winds and slippery greens turning every hole into a 3-putt adventure. Playing off the white markers didn’t help either, as the entire field learned the true meaning of “grind it out.”

But someone had to rise above the chaos…

Greenjacket Winner:

The freshly returned Michael Rinner ( — 32 points

Clearly enjoyed his holiday more than the rest of us.

Second (countback):

An actual golfer Peter Hargreaves (2) — 30 points

Still wondering why he hangs out with us.

Third:

The other Peter — Peter Shaw (16) — 30 points

Not to be confused with the Peter who can play.

Fourth:

Grant Pride ( — 29 points

Solid day considering the putter was on annual leave.

Hole 3 — Peter Shaw

Pure 5-iron to 2 feet… easy birdie, made it look accidental.

Hole 12 — Joe Oyaski

Smooth 7-iron to 5 feet for the world’s most casual tap-in par.
