It was a golf ball that had, more often than not, strayed outside of Burswood Park Golf Course’s beautiful fairways The players were on hand to team up with Fremantle sponsors for the annual Players and Sponsors Golf Day and the groups did their best to get the little white ball in the hole in what was a fun-filled event. Nick Lower was one Freo player having a tough time keeping his ball on the fairways. He did play a lovely shot out of a bunker, although it seems nobody from the Lux Events team (pictured right) told him that you’re not allowed to have a practice swing in a sand-trap! And Hayden Ballantyne quickly found out just how punishing the greens on the course can be when his gentle putt rolled past the cup and just kept on going. Luckily, ‘Ballaz’ is not quite as feisty on the golf course as he is on a footy field. Nat Fyfe said he relished the opportunity to get out on the fairways, despite admitting he wasn’t much of a golfer. “I don’t really have the temperament for it,” he said. “Byron Schammer and Luke McPharlin are probably the two golfers that get out a fair bit. “Kepler Bradley’s pretty keen on his golf, too.” GRA23436 Fremantle Dockers Football Club fremantlefc.com.au September 2011 5 Your health is all that matters.
