Laurel Wreath Rounds

Ladies Golf – Tuesday July 21st

On Tuesday it was decided all the girls that needed to play their Laurel Wreath round could play that day due to no competition listed in our calendar (this week was scheduled for country week but was cancelled due to that pesky virus).

The results for the round were Sharyn Roberts v Margie Stockman 5/4 Sharyn’s way, Andrea Rowe v Judy Reilly 4/3 Andrea getting up, and Di Day v Glenys Pierce played before Tuesday with Glenys winning 3/1.

Three girls not playing Laurel Wreath played a stableford round, winner was Peg Gebhardt 29 points, and Di Day won nearest to the pin on hole 8.

Next Tuesday the finals for the Women’s championships is to be decided.

A Grade – Sharyn Robert v Andrea Rowe over 36 holes and Lyn Mosey v Judy Reilly will play off for the B Grade handicap plate over 27 holes. The B Grade Plate is a new competition introduced this year. Best of luck to all girls.

The remaining girls not in finals will play a stableford round.

Pat Hallion Breaks Through

The immensely popular Pat Hallion has finally broken through for a win although this can probably be attributed to the ineptitude of his fellow competitors. Pat scored a modest 32 points in absolutely perfect weather conditions which was, however, just enough to defeat runner up Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel on dismal 31. The other eight competitors failed to make 30 points. Trevor Maxted took the Mars Bar.

Three Way Tie in Saturday’s Golf

Second place went to Richard “Pickles” Matz, denying Pickles of a hat trick following wins on Tuesday and Thursday. Third was Dick Cleland who showed a rare glimpse of form as he has been closer to the Mars Bar than the winners circle over the past several months. Peter Weiss took the Mars Bar.

Tommo Scores a Perfect Fluke

Tommo returns to form
Tommo with a magic mushroom

Colourful local identity Philip “Tommo” Thomson scored a hole in one on the short par 8th hole on Saturday. The hole is so short that some believe it belongs on a pitch and put course, nonetheless there was great jubilation at Tommo;s achievement. It should be remembered that many golfers go to their grave having not scored a hole in one so Tommo can be proud as it is not his fault that the hole is so short.

Saturday Results: Mouldy Too Good

Mark “Mouldy” Millward won Saturday’s stableford comfortably with a score of 35. Runner up was Andy Phillips while Dave “Robbie” Robinson took the Mars Bar.
