🏌️ Saturday Stableford Wrap-Up

This Saturday’s competition wasn’t just about great scores and friendly rivalry—it was also another fantastic free golf day for all members, proudly supported by Men’s Golf. Following on from the successful free day held on Wednesday 17 June, it was great to see so many members taking advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a game, catch up with friends and be part of the club atmosphere.

The positive feedback from both days has been tremendous, and we’re pleased to announce that another free members’ day is planned for July. This time we’re looking to make it even bigger and better with a Shotgun Start Ambrose Medley Event, giving everyone a chance to team up, have some fun and enjoy a relaxed day on the course. We will be taking advantage of the generous support Twin Towns provides us with each year, which is the grant they give each member at the club each year. A big thank you to Twin Towns and also all the members who support the raffles and who also play in all our competitions. This Club is amazing with a tight knit member base. Thank you all.

And it doesn’t stop there—pizzas and drinks will be on us! 🍕🍻

Final details and dates are still being locked in, so keep an eye on the club blog and noticeboards as we get closer to the event. If the recent free days are anything to go by, this will be one you won’t want to miss.

A big thank you to everyone who has supported these member initiatives, and we look forward to seeing another great turnout in July!

⚔️ Match Play Corner – The Clash of the Century

Forget the major championships, the real sporting drama unfolded in the Match Play arena where two epic battles went right down to the wire.

In the first blockbuster, Jarrod Brown and Jim Storey traded blows all day in what spectators are already calling “The Clash of the Century.” Neither player could shake the other, with the match remaining on a knife edge until the final hole. When the dust settled, Jarrod stood tall, pinching the last hole to claim a thrilling 1-up victory and book his place in the next stage.

Not to be outdone, Ryan Modini and Jimmy Woods produced an equally dramatic showdown. With momentum swinging harder than a rusty gate in a cyclone, the match also came down to the 18th. Ryan held his nerve when it mattered most, winning the last hole and sealing a hard-fought 1-up triumph.

There were only two tickets available to the next round and only two players could claim them. Congratulations to Jarrod Brown and Ryan Modini for proudly carrying the A Grade flag into the next stage. The pressure now shifts to the remaining challengers who will be hoping these two leave some glory for everyone else! Things are about to get interesting, with the semifinals soon approaching.

Just another reminder: The Men’s Pennant teams are meeting this Tuesday at Club Banora at 5:30pm – Please advise your team captain if you are unable to attend. We are also seeking at least 2 more reserves to fill in for any late minute player cancellations. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people and play at different courses for free. If this sounds like something you wish to be a part of, please email golfcommittee@twintowns.com.au

Have a great weekend and let that sun shine!
