President's Cup

Last month John Thompson and myself played golf in an APS (Association of Public Schools) former students golf day at the magnificent Royal Melbourne Golf Course. It was a competion between 11 schools with a team of no less than 15 to qualify. John and I rowed together in the 1967 Third Eight at Geelong College. Thats how we have become good friends especially on the golf course.  Playing with us was Andrew Peters also a member of our golf club. The Presidents cup was in the clubhouse for about 1 hour so as that we could take a close look at it and the official photographer for the day took John & myself standing adjacent to the cup which we were not permitted to touch. John and I have also purchased  tickets to attend this most prestigious event next month.

200 Yard Gong Shot!
Put a gong in the middle of a lake, then give some pro golfers a challenge to hit it. See what happens!!

 

 
What a Shot!
Here is an interesting shot from Phil Mickelson to try out next time your on the practice fairway.

 

 
That's Gold!

What happens on Pennant Trip, stays on Pennant Trip!!

But some times, it has to be shown. Names & faces have been removed to avoid legal action from Cape Schank.

Safety First

Ever been afraid of being hit by a golf cart out of control?
What about a putter being flung after missing a short putt.
