MGC Handicap Pennants Trifecta
Sunday, 17th Jul 2022
A re-formatted Handicap Pennants Team took to the road early yesterday, grabbing breakfast en route to arrive at the chilly Levin Golf Club primed and ready for the task at hand.
After quickly surveying the course and noting all the dry landing areas, this week's team stepped up to the Tee with targets on their backs from opponents Tawhero.
Game 1 saw Captain Stu this week alongside the experienced Troy Calkin who stepped in as our number 1. TC used his vast matchplay pedigree to gain leverage over his opponent and Captain Stu soon mirrored this to get across the gain line for 2 wins in the singles however a disappointing half in the 4ball.
Game 2 we had a junior debutant in the Handicap Pennants Team with Liam Bremner joining the fold to pair with the Big Dog Colin Williams and the two of them combined excellently to claim all 3 points for MGC.
Game 3 saw the BJW boys back in action, Nigel Belsham and Glenn Jongen quickly putting a lead on their opponents with fine forms of golf. Glenn's opponent dug in deep though, clawing back at a chance for a point, but lady luck fell into Glenn's corner on the 17th to see that off and to gain another 3 points for Marton.
