There are excellent fields on Saturday and Sunday (see tee off times on page 25) and the club will be buzzing with its Friday night raffles and dinner tonight.
There will also be a barbecue on Saturday night, with a ‘cooked to order’ dinner available. The $20 price includes chips and salad.
On Sunday we will have the draw of the club’s major raffle for a $1000 Toro self-propelled lawn mower. Tickets are $5 and available up to the draw.
On the course, we had a stableford event on Saturday with 40 points or more required to win most grades.
A grade winner was Leigh Chappell with 37 from Chris Thomson on 35; B grade Vicki Hutton with 40 points from Bradon Leech on 38; C grade Lachie Campbell who had the best score of the day with 44, from Virginia Lange on 38; and in D grade Greg Collins scored 40 points to defeat Mandy Phyland with 38.
On Wednesday, in difficult conditions, John Radeski had an excellent par round to score 43 points and win A grade by a shot from John Penna. In B grade Geoff Bracken had 42 for a comfortable win, from runner-up Warren Bull on 37.
Last Thursday’s ladies winner was Jen Choice who scored 40 points, to win by a shot from Marg Rothwell.
Don’t forget to keep the Sunday Sixers cards rolling in. This has been a very successful competition which is helping to introduce more players to golf.
And talking of introducing new players, the Sunday morning learners’ clinics will resume in February. Regulars are encouraged to continue with their lessons, and new players are invited to attend at 9am on a Sunday. For more information contact the pro shop.
