Molong Golf
Sport
by the Ghost Walker Sunday of the long weekend saw twelve players at the Royal Molong Golf Course for what else but a twelve hole ambrose event. The frost was still on the ground in the shaded areas but the open fairways were clear of frost so we could see where our white golf ball went. Of course in some cases we weren’t on the fairway so we were looking for a white ball on white ground. Balley and I were slow to get going and it took about five holes for us to get into the groove. Well Balley came good but I struggled for the whole twelve holes. Balley stated he might turn up early next week and play five holes to warm up before anyone else gets there. Yeah, we all believe him. My golf swing is a bit like ironing a shirt. I get one side smoothed out, turn it over and there’s a big wrinkle on the other side. Then I iron that one out, turn it over and there’s yet another wrinkle and so on. It turned out that Stubba won again. This time he was partnered by Rob who comes from Victoria and is staying at the showground caravan park. Rob plays off a low handicap of six and this was his first time playing sand greens. Stubba reckons Rob won it by himself and Stubba was just along for the ride. Apparently Ged didn’t like his golf ball. He put it in the dam on the eleventh hole but was able to retrieve it. Next shot he put it back into the dam again. Just as well he had Bell to carry him. Bro also had trouble but his problem was with the branch in front of the eighth tee. He hit the branch and the ball went back over his head and onto the seventh green from where he had just come from. This is why these ambrose events are so much fun when someone goes into the dam or hits the branch and you have your golf partner to hopefully make a good shot. The partner sometimes stuffs up their shot as well so it’s laughs and a bit of stirring all round. Six players plus Bell driving the golf cart had a hit on Monday morning playing a nine hole ambrose event. Stubba again teamed up with the best player, Quinney, and probably had the best score. Balley didn’t have a warmup but played pretty well. His partner again let him down. Golf again on Sunday, 8.30am for 9am. Anyone and everyone is more than welcome to join us.
