Women
Members enjoyed the three clubs plus putter stroke competition with Joy Cartner edging our Joan Wright with her usual consistent play. This Thursday members compete in the standard single stableford competition, which will be good practice for the upcoming Bundaberg Carnival on Sunday and Monday. This Saturday we again combine with the men playing a 3 person ambrose for the Isis Mill Traders Day. Hope you have already organised your team.
Men's Open Day 2014
The club conducted a highly successful Open Day, thanks to great team work by the Captain Kev Savage, and Committee members Dave & Robyn Robinson, with support from other members.
The Isis A Team won the Isis Cup comfortably with a gross score of 301 from the Bargara Team. Congratulations to Clinton, Blake and Damien Dowling, Dave Robinson and Kev Savage. The Isis B Team won the Isis Centreal Sugar Mill Shield on a countback. This time congratulations go to Peter Hrelja, Peter Steel, Neale & Luke Mittelheuser and Mitchell Anderson. The Mary Sutton Memorial Trophy for Veteran Players was won by Isis Vet Gary Carlon with 66 nett.
Blake Dowling parred the course with a round of 70 to take out the A Grade trophy for 18 hole gross on a countback from M Hogan from Hervey Bay. In the B Grade gross, Gary Carlon pipped Peter Hrelja to win, with J Phillips from Bargara on 82 runner up. K Maher from Maryborough won the C Grade gross with 84 shots from another Isis player, Phil Luckett on 89.
In the 18 hole nett competition, Peter Johnson from Bargara with his 68 nett edged out fellow Bargara golfer on 69. Peter Hrelja scored 68 to win from Geoff Brandon from Gin Gin. The C Grade nett winner was B Blinco from Oakwood, his 73 nett one shot better than M Brady's from Biggenden.
Bargara won 3 of the 7 pinshot and approaches, but the others were shared among Hervey Bay, Oakwood, Isis and Bundaberg.
We owe a special debt of gratitude to our sponsors, House of Golf, for their generous support. Finally we say a special thank you to the women members who spent a large part of the day preparing and presenting the delicious lunch and after play platters.
Men
The Saturday competition was a fourball best ball stroke event with the women members joining the men for the afternoon. Graeme & Mitch Anderson won comfortably with 61 nett from Damien & Blake Dowling on 64 who picked up the runners up from Michael Stanton and Len Stallard on a countback.
Rundowns went to Kev Savage & Bob Champney on 64, Des Wicks & Michael Hickey, Rod Henderson & Val Plath on 65. Peter Burns put his pinshot closest to win in A Division on 1 & 10, while Bob Champney put his approach closest to win B Division. Damien Dowling won the A Division pinshot on 4 & 13, while Cynthia Draper picked up the women's approach on 1 & 10.
Next Saturday is the Isis Central Sugar Mill Traders Day and large field has already nominated for the 3 person Ambrose. We hope all teams are finalised.
Vets
Unfortunately for the Vets the rain arrived before hit off time and the afternoon's competition was abandoned. No one seemed to mind the reason for the cancellation.
Next Tuesday we play either the day's planned stoke vs par competition, or the scheduled event which is a fourball best ball stableford. Draw at the Clubhouse.
Remember our own Vet's Carnival takes place next Tuesday, April 08. Morning and afternoon fields. Get your nomination in now.
