Not much golf...

29/11/2021

 

Not Too many recent results...

As you are well aware the course has been closed for most of the last week, so we only have two competition results to report.
The monthly medal for November had to be moved to the following Wednesday with the Remembrance Shield. 
The RemembranceDay Shield winner is  the best nett  score of  the  three grades  and with a  handicap of 7  John Mullholland with a nett score of 66 won the day. Great round of golf.
A Grade - John  Mulholland winner with nett 66 and runner up Nick Reinhard on 69.
B Grade - David McGinnes with 68 on a count back from Jamie O'Reilly.
C Grade - David Stanley with 69 and Bob Young on 68 running up.

Monday Madness - Medley 
Ash Southon won with 38 points.

The Week that wasn't...

Some photos to sum up the week.  The Yabbies took over the 18th fairway; old branches falling on the 11th hole and some smarter than us took off to Victoria for a few rounds, look at that blue sky on the Murray!

Unfortunately due to the weather last week the course has been closed most of the last week.  Hopefully we will get some better weather over the next few days.
 Monday Madness - Medley Stableford
This was the only competition available to report on; with a field of 13 players Nick Reinhard won with 36 points and runner up Angus Yuill 35 points.

Policy and Local Rules updated...

The Match and Greens committee have reviewed the local rules over the last few months, mainly updating the rules to reflect the 2019 rule changes.

The cabinet outside the Pro Shop has been rearranged to have the Policies and the Local Rules separated.  Hopefully this makes it a little easier to read.
