Round 3 of the Metropolitan Major Pennant took place last Sunday against Pymble Golf Club. After 2 losses to St Michael’s the boys were keen to notch up our first win. The recent form of Pymble gave us confidence that we could get the job done but we were forced to settle with a 3.5 to 3.5 tie.
Slotting in at number 7 this week Chris Lawler held strong against a fast-finishing opposition. He got up and down from the back of 18 to tie the first match. The first of our 3 wins was from an in-form Alex Platts. He backed up his away win last week with a 2 and 1 victory making it 2 from 2. In our 2nd win Dale Hughes bounced back from last weeks loss with a dominant performance taking a 6 and 5 victory. With the team down 3.5 to 2.5 it came down to Josh Gadd in the final match. On the 18th hole both players blocked their drive right into trouble. Josh played and outstanding recovering shot to put the pressure on his opponent. The pressure proved too strong, and Josh was able to win the match to claim the tie for the team.
Thank you once again to all that came out to cheer the team on. Your support is invaluable.
Our next match will be the return leg against Pymble Golf Club this Sunday 20th February at Pymble. The first match will tee off at 7am.
