ROUND
SIX 12 Mar 2005 - CLAREMONT CONTROVERSY!
While teeing off on the picturesque par three 15th, Ray was reminded that
the Massey is usually won / lost over the last four holes - but a snug,
confident grin convinced us all that nothing was going to take this one
away in his inauguaral Massey season.... or was it! |Full

(Westy,

Three
of the top four courses in Tassie. Couldn't get on Claremont Sunday,
which may work out better anyway, as we can have the MPU dinner
Saturday night, and rest and recover Sunday. Tthere is a fair chance the Elwick
meeting will be held on Sunday anyway. If not, a trip around the
wineries and oysters farms sound good, or what about a quiet flutter
at Wrest Point......... (Mark
West may also be organizing a chartered
fishing trip if any interest! Ed.)
There's a good chance I
will be able to get the some or all of the green fees and post game
drinks sponsored, which could release some kitty money for
a nice presentation dinner - maybe in the casino's revolving restaurant,
or Mure's at Constitution dock etc.
My mate has also
organised a whip around the Hobart office to pay for quick pants down
in Struttie's garden shed with Tassie's own Princess Mary Donaldson.......
Whatever we do, we'll
have lots of fun, that's a moral.

Grif
(Great job
boys.... your getting me excited Jimmy....can't wait to see
"Princess Mary" with something else in her mouth rather
than that silver spoon!!! Ed.)

ROUND
FOUR 12 Feb 2005 - THE BEAN STRIKES BACK
The grand old
lady of the Massey hit back today and has truly stood the test of time,
as the south westerly winds made golf very difficult on an otherwise
sunny afternoon. But one man came out to play after a solid session
warming up in the Flinders Pub .... |Full

1st Tee Lakes Course Yarrawonga 2003 / 2004

Course Stats |
Track Lover:
Gooey has nine placings (4 wins) from 17 starts including 3 wins
in his previous 5 hit outs at the venue and will probably keep
the best ever nett of 53 scored here in 90/91. Add to this
already impressive record - the fact that he has 4 scores in the
top 10 at the track and 0 in the worst ten. Not far behind is
Quinny who also boasts 4 wins at one of his favourite tracks.
Worst on Track:
Most starters have recorded at least a placing here. However,
Scoot, Fusspot & Jimmy are still yet to record a victory on
this tight little beaut.
History Suggests:
At least half the field usually betters par and recent outings
here using the Par scoring system has shown that +5 or better
may be required for victory.
The Roughie:
Glenn looks like he is coming into a bit form for the second
half of the year. After being floated from Echuca to Patto last
month he showed enough to suggest that he is ready to strike and
is better in the weights as well with 20.
The Verdict:
Henry shot a course record off the stick here last season (75)
and four years ago also set a record of +8 in the Par format
which is still unbeaten. Has a 1st & a second from only two
starts this time in and will take some beating. Will need to
reproduce this form off a seven handicap to win.

ROUND
THREE 21 Jan 2005 - JOHNNIE WALKER CLASSIC
A full
compliment came out to play on this warm & sunny Friday afternoon to
test their skills at the fully revamped Patto River. Glenn was even
dropped off on the way home from Echuca as there was more than just
Massey points at stake, for this is the Johnnie Walker Classic -
and it is even moving into new sponsorship. The added challenge of this
prestigious team event, now in it's third year produces the sought of
desperation never quite seen before on the playing fields of the
Massey..... |Full

Murph
1st Tee Lakes Course Yarrawonga 2003 / 2004
|View
Course Stats |
Track Lover:
Murph has never been unplaced at the venue with 6 placings from
six outings including equal Massey course record of 83 strokes
in 02-03. Traf is also the home of Schimma who impressed during
his Massey debut last month. If he comes out on top here
the Handicapper may well have his balls on the line!!
Worst on Track:
No problems finding this stat. Kenny has trialed here on 9
occasions and yes.... he is 0 from 9 for a place. When you also
throw in the 5 lasts on course, together with his most recent
outing this preparation - then it is a cert that you will get
better value trying to find the winner!
History Suggests:
Looking over the more recent seasons shows that you will
probably get the points with a par round. I'm tipping 2 under
will be safe with only the one or two recording sub par rounds.
The Roughie:
Fair Dinkum! If Scoot gets a new putter he will be a real chance
to record his maiden round victory. Gooey, Fusspot and Henry all
ran on well and have strong place claims.
The Verdict:
Hard to go past Murph who has a three shot advantage on his real
handicap and the track form. A limited preparation this campaign
casts some doubt.

ROUND
ONE 17 Oct 2004 - JIMMY "TEES OFF" AND WINS
"EEEASING UP"
Jimmy's first tee
shot in the 20th Massey was an absolute cracker and he never looked back
from there, carding a magnificent 22 points on the longer front nine.
Then it appeared as though he threw out an anchor big enough to pull up
the Queen Mary ... |Full

STABLEFORD |
"The
Bean" - it's time to strike!
1st Tee Murray Course Yarrawonga 2003 / 2004
|View
Course Stats |
Track Lover:
Stabled here at Carrington Park it is no surprise to see that
Westy has three wins, three seconds and a third from thirteen
previous starts. This includes a best ever net of 54 when off
32.4 way back in his debut season of 87-88 and the Massey course
record 78 off the stick in 97-98. Don't discard Jimmy either
with 8 placings from 12 starts.
Worst on Track:
It has to be Glenn with only two placings from fourteen visits
and four lasts is not very flattering. Who can forget his nett
103 off 32.0 in the inaugural Massey round of 1985. Still last
after Kenny had 27 shots from the greenside bunker on the 17th
to rattle home with a net 102!!!
History Suggests:
Never had a stableford round here before, however the last two
"Par" games have seen just over half the field
finishing in the positive! Does this suggest that 36 points will
only finish in the middle of the pack?
The Roughie:
Has the Handicapper given the new kid on the block enough?...
word around the traps is he is putting in a bit of a pre-season.
Go Schimma!
The Verdict:
It's the Bean for mine! Pipped at the post here last year and equal
third before that. Track form shows seven placings from eleven
outings and lightly weighted... it's time to strike!

| RAY
"SCHIMMA" WISEMAN - The Golfer, The Man, The Myth, The Legend....
14 Sept 2004 |
It
gives me great pleasure to announce that with the support of an
overwhelming majority of Massey voters, Ray Wiseman has accepted
terms to be the latest addition to the Massey brethren. He brings
with him a wealth of social golf tour experience, extensive
knowledge of exotic punting and an unrivalled ability to devour the
odd "Truckies Special" or two in a single session at the
Kalkallo. This is the same man who when not feeling very well on a
weekend in Yarrawonga a few years back.. visited a doctor who
informed him he'd suffered a "mild" heart attack and
advised him to check straight into the Hospital for further
observation... "Schimma" casually took this advice and
calmly scoffed down a couple of bacon & egg sandwiches for an
extra fix of cholesterol from a
local eatery before setting off to the hospital.... An outstanding
effort in the true tradition of Massey folklore! (John Daly, eat
your heart out... boom boom!)
When I visited him in his little outpost office in the maintenance
yard at South East Water recently, he had already printed out
several important pages from the Massey Web Site and has already
added value by promising a hefty discount from the green fees at
Traf.... very impressive indeed!!
Ray now has our flight itinerary and was last seen madly surfing the
VirginBlue site to secure his tickets to Tassie on the same flights
as the rest of us. His current handicap is 10.4 and believes
he will be off 11 by the time the Massey season begins next month.
He has already skillfully negotiated a starting Massey handicap of 9
subject to the approval of the Massey steering committee at it's
next sitting at the Baxter Tavern on the Friday night
prior to the first round.
"It is with great excitement that I accept your generous
offer." Ray said. "Since that infamous Massey
weekend many years ago in Yarrawonga, that I shared with Brothers
Bean and McCabe, I have always had delusions of being a Beaver and
Massey man. For it to finally happen on your 20th anniversary is
even more special. The only reservation I have is that the itinerary
does not include any Murray River golf courses, hence no Kalkallo!
How can I be expected to perform as a finely tuned golfer, without
sharing the Truckies Special with Brother Bean and the customary 10
pots to wash it
down!!!
"P.S. Virgin Blue bookings finalized...."
Ray fills the sudden vacancy left by Gian and it is at this time
that we thank Gian for his contribution over a number of years, in
which he unfortunately, through his work and other family
commitments, could not attend as often as he would have liked. |
