Men’s Interclub 2019 – The Team to Beat
The Interclub team travelled to NSW Golf Club to take on last year’s finalist Killara.
Blue skies and almost still conditions greeted us – something none of us have ever encountered at NSW before!
The team pulled out another fantastic performance to come away with a tightly fought victory 5/3, which secures us first place in our division and a spot in the sectional final.
Matt Seamons and Peter Schleibs got the team away to yet another strong start with commanding victories. Roger Nakaad was down early and fought back hard to take his opponent to the 17th, just missing a remarkable comeback.
Sean Porter led all day and closed his opponent out strongly, showing his matchplay experience. Kyle Dignam led all day, and whilst falling just short, showed some great form.
Our top pairing of Luke Mason and Tim Frazer both showed cool heads and solid ball striking to provide the final two points the team needed for the win. They are a formidable team.
Next week, the team plays NSW at home, teeing off at 8am. While our team is through, NSW are desperately trying to avoid the wooden spoon and will be highly motivated. All home teams so far have had great support and it would be fantastic to see some supporters there – you will see some great golf!
Individual Results:
Tim Frazer – 3/1 Up
Luke Mason – 2 Up
Sean Porter – 4/2 Up
Kyle Dignam – 1 Down
Roger Nakaad – 2/1 Down
James Coates – 4/2 Down
Peter Schleibs – 4/2 Up
Matt Seamons – 2 Up

Tell us about yourself:
Golf has played a major role in my life for the past 10 years. It has taught me many values and embedded traits that make me who I am today. I am able to take the patience, determination and perseverance which I’ve learnt over the years and apply them in other aspects of life.
I recently began working in disability support. It has been a life transforming experience to be able to care for those who need it. Not only is it rewarding to see growth and progress of those who I’ve worked with, it has also had a profound impact on how I see and understand myself. I plan to continue down the path of self understanding and personal development while keeping golf fixed as the main priority. I look forward to improving my game and playing to my fullest potential in the near future.

Joke of the Month (well, a monthly joke, quality not assured)!
Drowning your sorrows
After a particularly poor round, a golfer spotted a lake as he walked despondently up the 18th.
He looked at his caddie and said, “I’ve played so badly all day, I think I’m going to drown myself in that lake.”
The caddie, quick as a flash, replied, “I’m not sure you could keep your head down that long.”
