The skies were blue, clouds were white and it blew a gale from the north west today for our Jarrod Lyle Fund raiser . The ladies were turned out in yellow brightening up the course and playing some great golf today. Plenty of run on the course and fast running greens suited quite a lot of our members with some of the best scores we’ve seen this year.

Our ladies raised $200 for the Jarrod Lyle Foundation, thanks so much for your generosity. Peggy Williams was the winner of the “ lolly bottle count “ with 83 being the correct number. Happy lolly eating Peggy !!

We welcomed back two members today, Thelma Roffy and back from England, Katherine Colsell who had a magic round scoring 44 points.

Runner up was Denise F Culpitt with a great 42 points. Well done ladies.

Rundown went to the following players : Lisa Smith 41 pts, Diane Hughes 40 pts, Alison Blair 40 pts, Christine Waghorn 37 pts, Mary Swanson 37 pts, Peggy Williams 37 pts, Maren Cooper 36 pts, Helen Evans 36 pts.

NTP – 7th Div 1 Alison Blair, Div 2 Kathryn Colsell.

Pro Pin Winner – Liz Edwards $ 23.

Was a great day for golf, hope everyone enjoyed the run ( and the wind assistance).
Next week our Gold Medal Playoff for winners of medals during the year, good luck to everyone, playing a stroke round .

The rest of the field will play a single stableford.

Have a good week, Pauline R.

💛 DO IT FOR JAROD LYLE – 4 PERSON AMBROSE MEDLEY 💛

Saturday, 19th September | 8:00am Shotgun Start

Get the yellow shirts out, find something bright and cheerful, and prepare your best “that was definitely the shot we were taking” excuse — it’s time for our Do It For Jarrod Lyle 4 Person Ambrose Medley! ⛳😂

This is a FREE DAY FOR MEMBERS ONLY, with an 8:00am shotgun start, plenty of prizes up for grabs and, most importantly, a chance for us all to get behind a fantastic cause.

After the golf, we’ll be enjoying pizzas from Galileo’s Pizza 🍕 and some light refreshments — because nothing helps you forget the four-footer you missed quite like beer & pizza!

💛 LET’S BREAK OUR FUNDRAISING RECORD!

This year, we’d love to smash our previous fundraising record for Jarod Lyle’s charity.

All proceeds from the raffle will be donated, and the more money we raise, the better — because our club also goes into the draw for the chance to WIN A GOLF CART! 🏌️‍♂️🚗

We’d also love everyone to throw in a gold coin donation before the commencement of play. The golf is free, there are loads of prizes to be won, so digging around in the car console for a gold coin shouldn’t hurt too much! 😂

So grab your team, wear yellow or something bright and cheery, bring a few dollars for the raffle and come along for a brilliant day of golf, laughs, pizza and fundraising.

Let’s fill the course, have some fun and see if Club Banora can set a new fundraising record this year.

💛 DO IT FOR JARROD 💛

This event opens this Friday for bookings. Walkers are able to book in prior to this Friday. Please see staff behind the bar for a tee time. Full groups of walkers will be given preference to the holes closer to the island house.

SATURDAY AMBROSE — PRIZE REPORT

A Great Weekend of Ambrose

What a way to finish off the weekend! After the championship, it was great to see everyone getting stuck into a good game of Ambrose, with plenty of laughs, some quality golf and, naturally, a few moments that were probably best not included on the scorecard.

Congratulations to all our winners and thanks to everyone who got out there and enjoyed the day. There were some very nicely placed pins and some seriously tough tee box locations, which certainly added a little extra spice to proceedings.

A big welcome back to Brendon Willoughby, who has rejoined as a playing member. Great to see you back, Brendon!

Winners — Overall

The winning team of Peter Lindeblad, Patrick Ganet, Mitch Taylor and Gary Tozer, all playing off a handicap of 6.0 (6.25), took the honours with an excellent 54.75. Congratulations to the team on a fantastic result and the $50 voucher each.

The runners-up were Brian Springfield, Tony Blair, Katrina Springfield and Wayne Woodford, all off 7.0 (7.63), finishing with 55.37 and picking up $35 vouchers each. A great effort and not far behind the winners.

Kemp Creek — One Man, One Creek, One Very Nervous Pair of FootJoys

A special shoutout to Michael Kemp, who successfully navigated Kemp Creek without actually falling in. It was a close one, though.

It certainly helps when you don’t hit the side fence.

Unfortunately, the local wildlife weren’t quite as impressed with Michael’s approach as we were last week. Their home took a bit of a battering, and the FootJoys and socks apparently decided they were perfectly happy taking on the landscaping department as well.

Thankfully, Michael survived, the creek remained where it belonged, and the wildlife will hopefully have forgiven us by next weekend.

A Bit of Ricochet Trouble

In other news, a big shoutout to Bill Mann, who managed to take a knock to the eyebrow courtesy of a ricochet from a teammate’s shot.

I hope all is well, Bill, and that you didn’t require too many stitches! That’s certainly one way to make sure your teammate remembers to yell “FORE!” — although preferably a little earlier next time.

Pro Pin

Stephen Robinson — $86 Pro Shop Voucher

Raffle Winners

Darren Hubery — $125 Voucher
Bill Mann — $25 Voucher

Thanks again to everyone who played, helped out and contributed to another enjoyable day at the club. Plenty of good golf, plenty of questionable decisions and, thankfully, no one permanently claimed ownership of Kemp Creek.

One Final Note

If you don’t like the daily rules displayed on the A-frame, please don’t take it upon yourself to write over the signage.

To the member who did this: if you don’t like the rules, don’t play — or, better yet, be an adult and actually come and talk to me about it. My door is always open to hear your complaints, and if you want to be Captain then be my guest.

That’s the end of it.
