Actually, he gets to keep that one. Especially made for the 2004 Champs wooden spooner.
... and thanks to all my playing partners for being so understanding and patient
I never recovered after playing with you in the first round. :P
Thanks to my playing partners Jarro, Choppa, Blakey, Vegas and Eag's for the day.

Andy Lo's Report
The day is so enjoyable and I have experienced another (difficult) course I never played. I Love It.
I thought I have bought my A game to the course but I was wrong, screwed up my 1st tee shot in the 1st 18 (lucky noone is watching) and my driver is generally not working for me. Time to time I will have a good shot when everything is connected but it's quire rare.
1st 18
Playing with Ozmacloed, Jono and MTB. As I said I screwed my tee shot badly after seeing MTB, Jono hit their gigantic drive (I was so supprised how well an aging body and outdated, fairway wood size Callaway driver works) I belt one up and top the ball 50 meters to the left!! But Scotty gave me (endless) encourgment so I start picking up the game bit by bit.
The 1st course is quite hard and I only hitted 2 drives that it playable... during the 18 I ask Macca is it the hard course or easy course and he told me I was playing the easy one... OMG!!!
Highlight of first 18
The only one I did well is at 11 after a short break, hit a drive good enough but landed right hand side rough, then excuted my favourite Maxfli shot and (with luck) faded onto the green. (Then withnese Jono hit his skip water shot!! WOW ) and I pared the hole. Yeah.
2nd 18
Playing with Nudgee, DougK and Tez. I think we are the shotgun group. On the 1st par 5 I just realised it's a crazy dog left to right and I was shocked Tez, and Doug hit their tee shot good, Nudgee hit a OK shot and then it's my turn... ohoh.... intentionally teeing the ball a bit higher in case I duff it in front of all OZG fellas then I pull the darn ball to the left!! LOL then a 8 iron to back to the fairway, a pure 3 iron hit that hit the freaking branch, and a pure 6 iron shot to the green beautifully... played boggy. I thought my game is coming back but HAHA.... not really.
After another few hit I lost my good feel and I start screwing everything up again. But thankfully to DougK he gave me endless tips and quick lessons to save the rest of the day. I hit more pure shot then I should.
Highlight of 2nd 18
Bad one 1st... scored 12 and 10 on a par 3 in the middle and the finally hole... thanks to the kindness of Nudgee thu (or else it will be 24 and 20). I trapped in bunker and I hit ENDLESS bunker shot without having the ball escape from the trap. Especially the last hole even I was hitting it out it rolls to another bunker and I just realised that no matter when I hit I am surrounded by bunkers!!!!!!!!!! At the end I ask Tez and DougK very loudly (but not rude) who the f*** designed the course
Now the Good one!! Nearest To Pin award
With all the frustration I had I really finding a way to connect everything together. But seeing DougK hit a well hit onto the green, Tez hit a very good shot just short of the green, Nudgee UNLEASHED a pure hit and landed so close to the pin (and we all cheering)... I was so nervous.
So I told myself, "yeah, what the hell "... had I few practise swing, find the feeling and smack the ball with 7 iron... it goes high, landed pretty soft on the green but I can't hit where I hit exactly.
So then Tez and Nudgee drive off to go for a drink and me a DougK go to the green and he kindly offered me a swing lesson. And after everybody is back we just realise the ball is the closest to the PIN and Tez said this is the hole we play the NTP WOW!
Nudgee kindly helped me to pin the card to the ground and I keep trying to implement what DougK taught me in the rest of the round.
When I finished 17 we meet MTB's team and MTB told me jarro just token the award from me! I thought "good on him, I don't deserve it anyway for how bad I play"
When the game is finish I go to jarro and congrat him for that and he told me he hitted it close but not as close as I did so I should still be in the award....
The moment when AndyP announced my name I was REALLY REALLY very HAPPY!! The 1st real award in my golf career
Conclusion:
I enjoyed the day so much and thanks to
Scotty's endless encourgment
DougK's tips, lesson, especially the time (like 30 mins at least) he spent on me taught me how to hit bunker shot.
AndyP and MTB to organising the event.
EVERYBODY else that I played and not played with.

I was a great NTP. Couldn't have been more than 18 inches.
Sorry A-Lo but we were surprised to see it was your name over some of the low markers

Nah, it couldn't have been more than 2 or 3 inches at most.
While we're at it did you see Vegas' monster drive on the 18th. At least 340 meters, probably closer to 360 meters....HUGE

18th on the River Course is a 486m Par 5.
260m drive left you with around 230m is correct .

Not sure, couldn't be buggered looking for a sprinkler head.... If you say so! It looked a long way away, but remotely possible. Also, I noticed there was a few people sitting next to the green, so figured I'd give them a bit of a thrill... If only....

From the few times I played there, the River course struck me as a ballstriker's course. ie. it rewards precise tee shots and well placed 2nd shots. Because of the slope of the greens, and yes, some of them are 2 and even 3 steppes, if you are in the wrong part of the green, you are praying to ONLY 3 putt it.
jarro's right, it is a little gem of a course that comes up and bites you bigtime, if you're not hitting the pill well.
This coming from a 22 handicapper, that refused to pick up his sticks for 2 months after playing there...

MacLeod 93-92
Vegas 84-83
The other 15 players shot on average 10.8 worse in the afternoon.
Biggest improver was Nudgee, picking up 6 shots 92-86.
Biggest slide was brooky17, shooting 35 shots worse 83-118.
The only player to break 80 all day was gazgolf1 with a fine 78 in the morning.
The average gross score for the morning round was 89.7. Afternoon round average was 97.6.
