FLAT OUT LIKE

October 2003

WELCOME to CASTLE HILL PLATE DAY MkV. The day, over the years, is when abnormally high scores seem to be the norm.  in 2000, Michael Harrison fired a round 3 under the card and won the day with 45 points off 6 handicap - the best round by a Lizard since founder Leon List fired the starters gun on Day 1 in 1946.

TODAY President Glenn CAstle is Donor, Caterer and Baggage Man - having brought the prizes, food, drinks and ice, he will arrive early enough to set up the furniture in The Shed and, at the conclusion of play, conduct the meeting.  What a devilishly clever possum - what would we do without him; or better still - what are we going to do in the future to ensure this unLizard like situation does not recur.


WARNER DAY, with 20 members and 4 visitors, produced the following results:

LIZARDS 1st Manfred Wagner 43 points off 21 handicap
LIZARDS 2nd Hartmut Schwarz 42 points off 31 handicap

MICHAEL HARRISON pocketed a bottle of Galway Pipe for his effort in the scratch score event.

JIM SMALL scored a bottle of Teachers in the raffle.

MICHAEL MORAN'S application for membership found it's way into the President's grasp and, with due process, was approved.  Michael was welcomed and issued with the usual Lizard hardware.  Congratulations Michael, we wish you a long and fruitful association with The Lizards.

CAPT/HANDICAPPER Manfred Wagner, second the previous month, stayed on the roll and, playing off his lowest handicap to date, posted his first win since May 02.  Well played Manfred.

HART SCHWARZ fronted up to the place window for the first time since Oct 01.

MICHAEL MORAN made the most of his last day as a visitor breaking the tape with a neat 36 pointer - one shot ahead of Jake Small.


FINES, some were:

Garry Bird & Stretch    assembling the brand new BBQ with the hot plate upside down

Brian Ellis                     failing to bring the wheels for his buggy

Hart Schwarz              signing his card before hitting off on the 1st tee

Manfred                      stating: "If I had not taken 2 shots off myself I would have had a real good score"

Garry Bird                   club abuse on the 8th, after wiping the hole whilst in possession of the custard ball.

Wal Hill                       for playing only one hole - the 18th, and scoring 4 a 3.
