Don`t forget no golf next Monday. (Australia Day)
The one and only Garry Dowding, The Club Champion for the past 3 years running, Foursomes Champion, Mixed foursomes Champion, +2 Marker and a good bloke and great mate and golf teacher, although it hasn’t helped me recently but I’m sure everyone knows Garry or has at least heard Garry on the course or seen him out on the practice range.
In the many years I’ve known Garry and played golf with Garry, I’ve never seen a more confident and consistent player. If you ever see a spare spot in a tee slot with Garry’s name, make sure you join and see Garry play. Garry makes the golf of golf look so easy and most of the time its always a fun round when your in Garry’s group.
Garry Dowding will be competing in the NSW Amateur Championship in Sydney next week. The field size for the Championship will be 264 players (132 men, 132 women). Within this Championship, Garry will contest the NSW Medal. The NSW Medal is played over two courses. It is two rounds of 18-holes stroke play for the men’s field, played over two days. The field is divided between the two venues for the first day’s play with players changing venues for their second round. The winner of the 36 holes stroke play section of the Championship is the winner of the NSW Medal. The leading 32 players from the NSW Medal will advance to the 3rd & 4th Rounds. Within that event the NSW CHAMPION of CHAMPIONS will be decided, which is all the Club Champions from each nominated club.
