Goodluck Garry Dowding

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.

Garry will be heading down to Sydney this week to play a few practice rounds at the below courses in preparation for the NSW Championship.

27th January – Round 1 at Oatlands Golf Club – Sydney

28th January – Round 2 at Strathfield Golf Club. – Sydney

It’s my honor as Men’s Captain of Club Banora to announce we will be sponsoring Garry to represent Club Banora at this event. We have covered his entry fee’s and a box of ProV1’s with “GD” on them.

Good Luck GD and we all wish you the very best and the whole Club is behind you. In your own words Garry, “Positive thoughts bring’s positive outcomes”

⛳ Saturday Highlights

Another great day on the course delivered strong scoring, close finishes. Well done to everyone who featured across the divisions, ball rundown, and special events.

It was a mixed day for everyone I feel, some had no issues and broke their handicap with ease, while others struggled to get 30 points of more. People shanking the ball, throw in a few air swings and a lot of birdies. Today we had 21 Birdies in today’s field which is a record and goes to show how well the course is playing. Full Credit to Brendon and the boys for doing excellent job out there. Hopefully the plastic owl on the 18th will keep away the birds from eating the greens.

We had another successful competition day with Ryan Modini correctly filling out his score, way to go Ryan !
