Pauline Davis had a net 72 to win the ladies’ monthly medal and the day’s A-grade event.
A-grade runner-up was John Radeski 74 and B-grade runner-up Simon Tilders 70.
The C-grade winner was Norm Purtill 73 from runner-up Bob Landy 74, and D-grade winner Ann Bull 72 from runner-up Tom Edwards 73.
Last Thursday there were two grades for the stableford event.
A-grade winner was Russell Begg 35 from runner-up Kerran Letham 34, and B-grade Kathy Simpson 39 from runner-up Toby Rae 34.
In Wednesday’s stableford event there were three grades, with all winners and runners-up scoring 38 points.
A-grade winner was Gary Davies on countback to Vicki Brunker; B-grade Kirk Thompson on countback to Peter O’Brien, and C-grade Tom Edwards on countback to Jayden Pitts.
There are many volunteers who have played a vital role over more than a decade to ensure the club remains on a sustainable footing.
One of these valuable helpers is Alan Higgins, who has helped in various capacities and in more recent times keeps the golf carts in pristine condition.
His efforts have guaranteed that whenever a member or visitor hires a cart, it leaves the pro shop looking spick and span.
The time has come for Alan to retire from this role, and the club extends its appreciation for the contribution he has made.
Now, we need someone else to take charge of keeping the carts clean. If you can help out, please talk to Kathy Simpson.
Coming up, we have the 2024 Life Members’ Summer Classic on the weekend of January 27 and 28.
This year it will have a changed format, with two person team ambrose and fourball stroke. Entry forms are available online or at the club.
Tomorrow’s event is stableford, for the coveted Borella Cup and Rita Barnes Goblet. Tuesday is 9-hole stableford, Wednesday and Thursday are medley stableford and next Saturday is versus par.
Also, those competing in the Summer Sixers competition are reminded that play resumes from Sunday after the Christmas break.
Congratulations to two of our lady golfers who were celebrating last week after each scored a hole-in-one.
Jenny Adamson and Lyn O’Brien were both able to score an ‘ace’ on the fifth hole.
To clarify other reports, Lyn’s was during the stableford competition on Thursday and is therefore recognised, while Jenny’s was during a 12-hole event.
Congratulations to both golfers.
If you are planning a night out, why not make it a Friday at the golf club where meals are available and there is a chance to win meat trays or club vouchers.
Raffle tickets are on sale from 6pm with draws from 7pm.
