It was only a smart field today. The 3 putt club had their annaul trip away down south. Which took alot of regulars away.

Some of you may of noticed my handicap going from 4, 8.5, 10.2, 12.5, 16.2 and now 20.2. There is a problem with my handicap since the transition to the new system. GA is aware of the problem and its been happening randomly around Australia. Each time they go to amend it to the correct handicap. It just compounds the issue with the way they calculate the handicaps, Its not a simple fix apprently. Fingers crossed their techs can get it sorted sooner and later. But if you do need me for an ambrose off 20.2 let me know 😉

2025 MEN’S FOURSOME CHAMPIONSHIP

We made it! Men’s golf finished our 2025 honour board calendar this weekend with the foursome’s championship being played. Although it was a small field of only 64 players and 32 teams. The course was beautifully prepared by Brendon and his team and it’s a full credit to their commitment throughout the year. The course has never been better, and all members of Club Banora appreciate all your hard work, with that being said, it was a day filled with drama, someone getting a 13 on the 1^st hole, Water, Out of bounds, 3 putts, 4 putts, 5 putts, lost balls, saying sorry, reaching for another new ball and asking how many holes left kind of day. It was great to see some new names in the winner’s circle.  Thank you to everyone who stayed back till the presentation.

A big thank you to Ken Culpitt, without your spreadsheets, today would have been a lot harder as everything had to calculated and manually entered into the computer. Shout out to Michael Kemp for helping me at the end of the day collecting the cards. Big thank you to Paul Quinlin for helping at the end of the day with finalising the results.
