Our Men’s traveled away this Sunday for the 2025 Eisenhower Cup.

Team 1, Terry Foster, Garry Dowding, Sam Benny, Ryan Modini, Grant Treloar, Charlie Huff, and Simon Gates played at Mullumbimby. The boys improved on last year’s result. We had some new faces in the team this year. Well played Gents.

Team 2, Bryan Penny, Brent McLennan, Jimmy Woods, Darren Hubery, Paul Quinlin, Steve Salter, and Will Salter. The boys played at Murwillumbah and Unlucky not to come away with a win. A notable mention to Will Salter who had 37 points and that was with 2 wiped holes. Better luck new year guys.

2025 MEN’S FOURSOME CHAMPIONSHIP

We made it! Men’s golf finished our 2025 honour board calendar this weekend with the foursome’s championship being played. Although it was a small field of only 64 players and 32 teams. The course was beautifully prepared by Brendon and his team and it’s a full credit to their commitment throughout the year. The course has never been better, and all members of Club Banora appreciate all your hard work, with that being said, it was a day filled with drama, someone getting a 13 on the 1^st hole, Water, Out of bounds, 3 putts, 4 putts, 5 putts, lost balls, saying sorry, reaching for another new ball and asking how many holes left kind of day. It was great to see some new names in the winner’s circle.  Thank you to everyone who stayed back till the presentation.

A big thank you to Ken Culpitt, without your spreadsheets, today would have been a lot harder as everything had to calculated and manually entered into the computer. Shout out to Michael Kemp for helping me at the end of the day collecting the cards. Big thank you to Paul Quinlin for helping at the end of the day with finalising the results.
