Championship Results

Well, I tried but failed! I bombed out in the quarter finals against Matt Thomas, 2/1. Unfortunately I had him beaten early, but then some small errors crept into my game and the rolls were reversed. Between us, we had a very good match. We traded pars and birdies throughout the round, but we also had our fair share of bogies.

Matt went on to play-off in the final against Phil Pears. Pears was the eventual winner by 3/1. This is the second year in a row he has won the championships.

In B and C grade. The B grade final was between Glen Duncan and Mitchell Britton-Thomas. Glen Duncan won 2up. C grade was fought out between David Mosely and Doug Burge, Mosely winning that one.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Golfing weekend

Golf, just another four letter word! It’s the pursuit of perfection but, perfection is unattainable. The sooner one comes to this realization, the more enjoyment you’ll get out of it.

These past couple of weeks has been taken up with qualifying for my golf club championships. I didn’t do very well last year but, this year was much better. I was leading after the first week but, finished up qualifying 3rd. This week we have the quarters, semis and the final. I don’t know how far I’ll get, or if I’ll win the championships, but at least I have a chance.

The 8 qualifiers are: The top half of the draw-
Phil Pears v Duncan MacFarlane
Phil Exton v Matt Millwood
The bottom half of the draw-
Justin Ryan v Duane Morgan
Colin Butterworth v Matt Thomas

It will be a busy weekend for whoever makes it to the final. The quarter finals are on the Saturday and the semi finals and final are on the Sunday. With a bit of luck I might win a third championship.

Speaking of golf….

The new Drummond Golf store is having their grand opening this Saturday 18th. They have been open for several weeks now and, from all accounts, are doing well. The owner/manager is a friend of mine, Michael Jordan. He has spent a few years working for Drummond on the mainland and now he has his own store. A real case of local boy makes good!

Another good friend of mine is one of the sales people in the store, Corey deBruyn.

If you get the chance you should stop in and checkout their fantastic store. As far as I know, Brett Ogle is meant to be there for the opening, so you should stop in and say hello. They are situated at Unit 19, Cambridge Park, 66 Kennedy Drive, Cambridge Tasmania. (Just off the Tasman Highway)

Photo Book

In the past few weeks I've put together a book containing my favourite images from September 2005 to January 2008. I called it "Photography Anthology".

All the images in the book can be found on my web site: Colblue Photography

I split the book into 4 sections, Scapes, Sports, Other and Night. Scapes, has landscapes, seascapes, sunsets, rivers and waterfalls. Sports, has a selection of Golf, Go Karts and motor sports. Other, has just about everything else in it. Night, well that has what it says. :) In total it has 102 pages of photos from my home state of Tasmania.

By Colin Butterworth


I hope to see a printed copy in the next couple of weeks. They will make good presents for my family and friends!
