Hurstville v Bardwell Valley 2 ½ – 2 ½
The Mixed Pennants team kicked off their season last Sunday at Randwick Golf Course. The format has changed this year and instead of home and away matches, each round is played at a neutral venue. On a sunny Sunday afternoon Randwick golf course is one of the best places to be and there was no sign of the forecast thunderstorms.
The No.2 group of Janette and Rowan were the first to phone in (and Instagram) their result with a strong 6/5 win. This result was closely followed by Janet and Branco who had a comfortable 2/1 win. Vicki and Matt couldn’t make the most of their early lead and recorded a 2/1 loss. Judy and Kyle also lost their hard-fought match 2/1.
At two matches a piece, it all came down to the No. 3 pairing of Nick and Pam. The match was square as they teed off on the 18th par 3. Bardwell Valley had a makable putt to win the hole … win the match … take the overall win. Nope, not today. Pam and Nick came away with a halved match, producing an overall result of 2 ½ – 2 ½.
Judy Smith & Kyle Bell | 2/1 Loss |
Janette Lisle & Rowan Hooper | 6/5 Win |
Pam Northey & Nick Decean | Half |
Vicki Hoare & Matt Kumjew | 2/1 Loss |
Janet Allam & Branko Kulevski | 2/1 Win |
The other two teams, Ryde Paramatta and Wakehurst, also halved their match so all teams remain locked together with one point. Next week the team travels to Ryde Paramatta Golf Course where we will play Randwick
