On Monday, five of our lady golfers travelled to Barham to compete in the regional final of the NSW Medal competition, after qualifying with their best three net scores over six rounds.
Deniliquin golfers took out both Division One and Division Two in the regional final – Kerran Leetham in Division One and Ann Bull in Division Two.
They will next travel to Stonecutters Ridge Golf Club, in Sydney, for the state finals.
Deniliquin was also represented in the Keno ambrose regional finals, played at Corowa and Howlong on Sunday.
While none of the Deniliquin pairs were successful, Peter Oddy and Noel Swainger were runners-up in the men’s division, while John and Marg Radeski were runners-up in the mixed division, missing out by less than a shot.
At home, on Saturday we played for the monthly medals.
Norm Purtill and Ali Ferguson were the respective winners. Norm had a round of net 69 to win the men’s medal and also claim B-grade, while Ali had net 71 to record the best women’s score.
A-grade winner was Brian Bourke with net 71 from runner-up Peter Locke 72, B-grade runner-up was Stephen Townsend net 70, and C-grade winner was Kevin Thompson net 74 from runner-up Kris Priest 75.
Last Thursday was stableford. A-grade winner was Carol Hardman on 38 points from runner-up Troy Grant 37, and B-grade winner was Ruth Peacock with an impressive 44 points from runner-up Prue Chalmers 42.
On Wednesday, the A-grade winner was John Penna with 39 points on countback to Geoff Bracken, and B-grade winner was Brian Dixon with 40 points from runner-up Ian Campbell 37.
