After a welcome break in the weather, players returned to the course and produced some impressive scoring across both divisions. Conditions were ideal for scoring, with several competitors taking full advantage and plenty of players featuring in the ball rundown.
Ryan Modini (HC 5) claimed Division 1 honours with an excellent 36 points, edging out Cem Okan (HC 13) on a countback after both players finished on the same score. Ryan’s consistent play throughout the round proved enough to secure the winner’s voucher, while Cem’s strong performance earned the runner-up prize.
Division 2 belonged to Vince Robshaw (HC 30), who produced the score of the day with a fantastic 43 points. Wayne Muir (HC 23) also enjoyed a terrific outing, finishing runner-up with 41 points. Both players were well clear of the field after outstanding performances.

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!

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.

What a difference a few weeks make! After plenty of wet weather and careful course management, it was fantastic to finally have carts back on the course. Members certainly appreciated being able to get around a little easier, and just as importantly, the roped-off areas throughout the course proved their worth by helping minimise damage to vulnerable sections of turf. Thank you to everyone who kept on the fairways and paths.
A big thank you goes to our hardworking greenkeeping team for their efforts over recent weeks. The course continues to recover beautifully, and the protection measures put in place have made a noticeable difference. Everyone’s patience and cooperation have helped keep the course in great shape for all to enjoy.
Sometimes golf rewards skill, preparation and teamwork. Other times it appears that every planet in the solar system aligns perfectly, the golfing gods smile from above, and a group of very special individuals somehow manages to produce a score nobody else can catch or imagine!
This week that honour belonged to Shane Vanderlight, Paul Quinlin, Patrick Tregellas and Darren Hubery, who combined brilliantly to post a winning score of 52.37 off a handicap of 6.0 (6.63). Whether it was careful planning, outstanding golf, or simply an extraordinary amount of good fortune remains under investigation, but the victory is theirs all the same. Congratulations on taking home the winners’ vouchers! The score could have been better if we actually encouraged each other but that’s a story for another time.
Ryan Modini, Alexander Kwok, David Wallis and Greg Morrison secured the runner-up position with 57.50 playing from 8.0 (8.50), earning themselves a well-deserved voucher for their efforts.

The course served up one of those days where the greens looked invitingly soft underfoot, only to reveal lightning pace once the ball started rolling. Add in some delightfully diabolical pin placements that appeared to have been chosen by someone with a dark sense of humour, and scoring became a true test of nerve. Players who managed to stay patient, avoid three-putts and four-putts and negotiate the trickiest corners of the greens were richly rewarded most of the time.
Terry Big Cat Foster (10) claimed Division 1 honors with an excellent nett 68, holding off David Von Itzstein (9), who finished runner-up on 71. The Gross prize went to Charles Paton (1), whose quality ball striking produced the best gross score in the division with 74.
David Wallis (18) produced the standout score of the day in Division 2, taking victory with a superb nett 66. Joseph Lehkyj (16) secured second place with 70. The Gross winner was Mark James (14), who recorded 86 to collect the division gross prize.
Tony Waller (23) continued his strong form to win Division 3 with a nett 67. Rick Downes (25) followed closely behind on 69 to secure the runner-up voucher. Dave Callard (24) claimed the Gross prize with a score of 95.
