BJS Insurance TOP GUN Update 14 Sept 2016

September 14, 2016Comments Off on BJS Insurance TOP GUN Update 14 Sept 2016Latest News

September Update.

1-Happy Story.

The Top Gun Top 19 is hotting up.  The Mixed round Tuesday, although in constant light rain proved no barrier to some mighty fine golf with two players, Norm Hughes and Andrew Smith each recording 39 points, and another 6 players hitting better than the present Top 19 qualifying score of 34 with a count back score for the back nine of 17.

Three of the Top 19 are ladies and unfortunately their round today was cancelled due to more rain. I do know that Karen Bear and Rebecca Thomas are playing great golf and won’t rest after being squeezed out of the Top 19.

It’s great to see Craig Hams from Top Gun sponsor BJS Insurance back on the Course after his trek .  He’ll be pleased to see some of the undergrowth has been cleared whilst he has been away.

2- Sad story.

But alas, great scores such as a recent 43, and  38 points crafted by perenial Club sponsors, Paul Luck (of Inverlock Garden Supplies) and Kevin Scott (of South Gippsland Boarding Kennels & Cattery) have not cemented them a place in the final because they hadn’t entered the Top Gun competition before hitting that sweet round.  Don’t let that happen to you.

Qualifying continues until Saturday 29th October with the Shootout on Sunday 6th of November 2016.  It matters not, if you play every week at the Club or only come down to the Course once in a blue moon, don’t go away after that sweet round thinking, “if only I had entered into the Top Gun”.

See the Pro Shop staff next time you’re down to include your name in Top Gun and pay the $10 entry.
