84 starters for our mid-week medal day. Sadly only 81 finishers, bit of a slow day out there. This makes it tough for all, Wayne Muir in particular, who does all the entering for the day, he doesn’t get to go home until all that is done on top ofpresentations and raffles. So come on gents keep the play up to speed, there are a loft of bad effects for slow play which are not appreciated. If stroke play is not your thing, have a rest day at home not on the course.

The day’s results were –

Div 1 

      Winner was David Von Itzstein with a 68 nett from Jared Brown on a 71 nett.

Div 2

Winner was Cem Okan on a count back from Keith Cooper both with 68 nett and Owen McCallum finished a close third also on 68. Tough school that Div 2.

Run down went to 73 nett.

Pin Shots

2^nd – Dave (well-oiled machine from Div 2) Harrod and House

7^th – Kyle Harrison and John Edwards

12^th – Greg Morrison and Cem Okan

16^th – Patrick Hayes and Dave Harrod (2 pin shots, probably worth a red). 

Pro pin went to Cem Okan for $72. Nice day out Cem.

The raffles went to – Wayne (Mr Raffles) Muir x 1, Dave Harrod (definitely Red o’clock) x 1 and John Mason x 2.

Saturday is Monthly medal (stroke), see opening comments above.

Fairway – An unfamiliar tract of closely mowed grass running from tee to green. Your ball is normally found to the left or right of it.

Hit it hard and hope you find it.

Two person Ambrose, 108 starters. As Millsy would say, “That’s what I’m talking about”. Good weather, great turn out and a good day out on the course. All good.

The big event, which was our invitation day for the 40-year anniversary was well supported by our own members and some eight visitors.

Winners were Dave Killion and Captain Tink (probably had some local knowledge) with a nett 60.5.

Runners up were Nathan Simpson and Liam Henzel with a nett 63.

Run down went to a very generous 67. 

I wonder if any of the above had a putt from behind the hole on the 9^th. Terrifying.

Pin shots 

2^nd – Brian (Dusty) Springfield and Ed Brierley

7^th – Pat (Mr Sec/ Mr Captain) Tregellas and Daniel Lawler

12^th – Stuart (starting to make a habit of these) Smart and Michael Davies

16^th – Jimmy (number 3) Wood and Kerrod Kirkham

Pro pin of a very nice $100 went to Stuart Smart

Raffles – # 93

Trevor Neil x 1 and Number 3 (see above) x 7 onya Jimmy.

Have you checked out the Memorabilia Room yet? A nice little journey down memory lane. It will be open all comp days until the end of the month.

It takes longer to learn good golf than it does brain surgery. 

On the other hand, you don’t get to ride around on a cart, drink beer, eat and yahoo while performing brain surgery.

Hit it hard and hope you find it.

Well we finally got to play our Thursday Golf after missing 3 weeks in a row!! It was great to finally get out there. The course was looking good still a few very boggy areas , just have to keep on the fairways🤣🤣🤣.

This Thursday is our Anniversary Invitation Day , it is a shotgun start 7.30 for 8.00 am . There will be tea and coffee outside when you arrive . Could one person from each team collect the $20 from their players and pay Barry if possible. Your $20 fee includes golf, ProPin and lunch. Recheck the draw as there have been a few changes to allow for walking players to start closer to the club.
