Mountain Shadow turned on the charm today — cheap, cheerful, and with a layout so good even the greens slowed down to admire it. They weren’t as slick as usual, but that didn’t stop one bloke from absolutely bullying the course.
Green Jacket:
Hugh Phillips (17) — a monster 42 points and now donating two handicap shots back to the universe. The course didn’t stand a chance.
Runner-Up:
Dave Hayes (16) with 33 points — solid, steady, sensible golf. Someone had to be the adult.
Third:
The returning Mal Newstead (22) — 31 points and proving he still remembers which end of the club to hold.
Fourth:
Dave Elliott (22) 30 points on a countback from the always-travelled, never-rested Pete Shaw (16), also 30 points.
Near Pins:
Hole 5 – Jim Muccino
Hole 15 – Soren “Pin Hunter” Hansen
Next up:
Wednesday @ Crystal Bay (1250)
Tee 1000 • Bus 0830
Kitchen open early for those needing a pre-round life reboot.
