Last weekend 9 members competed quite successfully in the Wide Bay District Open.  Margaret Dennett won the36 hole nett in Division 2 and Helen Ricciardi was runner up in the Division 2 gross event.  Joan Wright won the Division 3 gross for Sunday with Robyn Robinson winning a pinshot as well.  Both Margaret and Helen won rundowns during the carnival. Next Thursday members compete for the Monthly Goblet in a stroke competition. 

On Saturday members played in the Foursomes Championships, with the major event being decided in a playoff, when two teams recorded 138 gross each.  Fiona Dowling and Vicki McAulay won on the second play off hole to claim the Championship, leaving Helen Ricciardi and Joan Kelly as unfortunate runners up.  Kerry Schnack and Vicki Wyeth were nett winners with 107, from runners up Joy Cartner and Margaret Dennett on 108 1/2.  Cecily Fay and Sophie Martell won the approach on 1 & 10 and Helen Ricciardi and Joan Kelly on 4 & 13. 

A big thank you to all who brought a plate and to those who prepared the after game snack and cleaned up after.  This Saturday we play for the July Monthly Goblet.

Men

Members played for the Men's Foursomes Championship in cool, breezy and shower threatening weather.  As usual the round was followed by golfers recounting the large number of unfortunate moments.

In a very close competition Larry Pershouse partnered Damien Dowling to win the Championship with a gross score of 127 for 27 holes, one clear of Peter Hrelja and Peter Steel, runners up on a countback from Clinton Dowling and Ken Albion.  Clinton and Ken managed to claim the best nett score with 107, with Niel Rieck and Mark McAulay runners up on 110 3/4.

Clinton also won the A Division pinshot on 1 & 10 and also on 4 & 13, while Ken Albion took advantage of Clinton's drive to win the B Division approach on 1 & 10.  Brett Martell won the B Division pinshot on 4 & 13.

Many thanks to those who brought a plate and more to those who prepared it and cleaned up after.

This Saturday members play for the July Monthly Medal.
