Australia Day BBB
A small but enthusastic group braved the Australia day heat to enjoy a BBB stableford. For his return to golf, Wayne Faulkner celebrated with 37 points to win from Clinton Dowling and Harry Zawacki both on 35. Rundowns went to Fiona Dowling & Helen Ricciardi.
Harry Zawacki won the approach on 1 & 10 and Fiona Dowling the ladies' approach on 6 & 15. Ken Albion was awarded the player who made most use of the course.
The 2017 programme is now available at the Club. Deep gratitude to Helen for presenting such an appealing layout, with great attention to accurate detail.
Women
The single stableford competition on Saturday saw Cecily Fay enjoy a winning day, taking out the prize with 36 points, and also winning the approach on 6 & 15.
Rundowns went to Monica Madsen on 34 and Helen Ricciardi, Cynthia Draper and Joan Wright all on 33.
This Thursday is the first of the ladies' competition for the year as well as the Thursday Monthly Medal. We hope for a well attended morning hit off at the usual time.
On Saturday the Monthly Medal will begin. Please bring a plate for after the game.
Men
On Saturday members played a single stableford, with some fine scores recorded in the sultry conditions. Ben Van der Volk won with 40 points from Jeff Freeman on 39. Nigel Radin and Phil Pearce were next on 38 points each. Norm Plath earned the rundown for his 37, which almost won him a ticket. Most unusally Bill Cowan earned the award for the most use of the course.
Bill Cowan won the A Division pinshot on 1 & 10, with Phil Pearce winning the B Division approach on the same hole. Nigel Radin won the A Division pinshot on 4 & 13, and Ben the B Division approach shot.
Next Saturday members play for the first Monthly Medal of the year. Please bring a plate.
