Eastwood
We finally made it to Eastwood
After a few false starts and cancellations, we hit off at Eastwood. Despite a few inches of rain on Sunday, the course was in remarkably good condition. Greens were slow and bunkers water-filled but fairways excellent.
There were few people around, so we hit off as a three and a two but joined up on the 2nd hole and played the first nine as a five. Chris and Phil scored 3 pointers on the par 3 second hole, followed by Rad’s par on the 3rd. Rick hit a long drive on the 3rd, but it landed in the Baptist church next door. Long drive by Rick down the 5th and courtesy of their generous handicaps, both Rick and Peter scored 3 pointers on this hole. Editor’s note: It seems to me that the temporary Secretary is a touch judgmental. There may need to be some further Secretary training! Once again Rick’s long drive set him up for another 3-pointer on the hardest hole the 7th.
On the 8th hole Rad hit his chip to less than a metre and holed the putt for par. Phil also had par on this hole after a good drive to the edge of the green. Rad, Peter and Rick scored 3 pointers on the 9th hole with good long putts.
We split up after the 9th hole into two groups. Rick hit a monster drive down 10 but his next shot was not so good. Chris was the only one of the two groups to score 2 points on this hole. The 11th hole was a very long par 4 and only Peter could get 3 points here. 12A was a shortish par 3 up the hill. Rick hit a nice chip over the bunker and scored par. Rad also scored 3 points courtesy again of his nice handicap.
12B was a shortish par 4 up the hill. Chris, Peter and Phil scored 3 pointers on this one. Rick was just off the green for 2 and walked away with a 7.
Rick hit two massive shots down the 13th (par 5) to be just short of the green. He narrowly missed his birdie putt but still settled for 5/3.
Chris was the only one to score 3 points on the 14th with a good second shot.
Chris was at it again with a 4/3 on the 17th and then played very well for a 5/3 on the 18th.
Thanks to Peter for his assistance with green fees!
