Congratulations Chris Sfiligoj!!
Congratulations to Chris Sfiligoj who becomes the 13th Sunday Leave Pass player to join the 100-round club. Chris Joined Sunday Leave Pass in May 2007 with a score of 117 at Centenary Park. His first hole on the par 5 was an 11 and since then he has racked up another 32 Career “Newell’s” score of 10 or more.) Chris has reported a total 10385 strokes. Although he is a solid putter averaging less than 36 putts per round Chris found his match at Morack golf Course in July 2015 when he had a career worst round with the flatstick using it a soul destroying 44 times. Unfortunately, the day didn’t pan out too well for him and he also posted a career worst score of 125 strokes. Interestingly the Morack round in July 15 was still not one of his 5 Beer Wench titles. Statistically it seems Bayviews is least favourite golf course. He has won 2 Beer wench titles at Bayviews and averages over 40 putts per visit on those tricky Rosebud greens.
Chris has proved he can putt effectively when it counts, he went 18 holes at Morack for a career best 27 putts and he is quite adept at holing putts for birdies when the opportunities arise. Of his 191 pars from 100 rounds, Chris has made 79 of those on the short par 3 holes. This is a significant percentage especially compared to his Par 5 yield which only attributes 25 pars, although admittedly he did chip in for an Eagle on the Par 5 tenth hole at Gardiners Run last year. Disregarding his eagle from the other 1799 holes Chris has gone under par 20 times, 5x birdies on the Par 3 holes, 4x on the Par 5’s and the other 11 times it was on the two shot holes. Chris has managed to out muscle the big hitters a couple of times; he won the Longest Drive at Warburton in 2008 and again at Dorset in 2009. When it comes to hitting the ball close to the Pin, Chris has taken home prize balls on 15 separate occasions. Ringwood golf course has netted the best return for NTP wins with 3 separate titles although he has never been able to repeat the shot as he has never claimed multiple NTP on the same hole.
Chris won the golf trip at Murray Downs in 2012 and his best year with the club was 2008 when he took home both the Champion of Champions jacket and the Skins Champion trophy. Chris is most famous for hitting 5 balls in a row into the dam on the 12th hole at Devils Bend and getting his golf cart stuck on the walking bridge at Commercial Golf Club during the Albury golf trip.
