Handicap Pennants Dominate Round 2
Sunday, 3rd Jul 2022
The second round for our Handicap Pennants Team saw the boys travel further afield to the fairways of Foxton Golf Course to take on 'old rivals' Hawkestone. With an interchange in the team this round, Richard Ellery taking place of Kalvin Field a re-shuffle of order was required.
Team consisted of:
Stu Duncan
Colin Williams
Graham Marshall
Glenn Jongen
Nigel Belsham
Richard Ellery
Fuelled with a fine breakfast en route, the boys arrived at Foxton with the later tee time and promptly found seats to watch the other teams warm up, concerned any pre match practice could cause injury or worse... the yips. The team took their start on the 10th tee, the short par 3, which struck fear into many of the team but off they went. Pressure was applied early by Captain Stu and Colin, combining well with shots being given to the pair which they took advantage of early on and never looked back. All 3 points, early doors.
Graham and Glenn took to the tee next, albeit starting slowly the dynamic duo soon gained the upper hand on their opponents with some impressive putting from Glenn and the pair held control through some tight holes to see out another full 3 point victory.
Nigel with Richard on debut for the 2022 season played as a beautiful combination, in what was a demolition of thier opponents, grasping the remaining 3 points for their own and a clean sweep for MGC.
A 9-0 Victory for MGC, leading the competiton heading into Round 3 at Levin
