KERANG

Ladies Golf on July 13

We had another good roll up of players with 13 ladies. Angela Morton had the winning score with 36 points. Angela also had nearest the pin on the 9th.

In the ball pool were Shirley, Marg and Jill. Meryl had a lovely birdie on the 1st hole and Jenny had one on the 13th.

It was good to welcome new player Renee Wilkinson. Megan Taylor received a welcome back pink pen for her day’s efforts.

Thursday R&R Stableford on July 14

On a very cold Thursday, Kevin Sambrooks (18) worked his magic that only he can produce, to win the day with 38 points. No doubt about it, it was all above board, but you never know with Sambo, anyway, well done Kevin.

In the ball pool, we had the still in-form Col Wilkie (14) 37, Gavin Teasdale (12), Wayne O’Neill (23) and Jack Hewitt (13) all on 36 and Casey Gillen (20) 35pts got the last ball on c/b from Peter Jones (14).

On the par three was Don Ross 3rd, Graham Wyte 5th, Tony Laughlin 9th, Col Wilkie 13th and the 16th must have been into a head wind because no one landed on that one. Terry Turvey won the pen on a c/b from Chris Gray and Lindsay Hogg well done to the Prez.

Saturday golf

The captain decided to put on a 2P Ambrose, and the winners were Roger Pay and Max Wilson who played very good golf to win with a score of 70 – 6.5 = 63.5 which included four birdies, well done to those two.

Ladies winners were Shirley Jenner and Michelle Dillon 74 – 7.7 = 66.3, which included a killer birdie for Dilly but of the feathered kind. Not the golf kind (poor pigeon, a collection plate will be passed around for the bird’s family).

Nearest the pins were Max Wilson 5th, Allan Free 9th, Col Wilkie 13th and the wind played havoc for all of us on the 3rd and 16th. The pen recipients were the team of Joyce Boyd and Geraldine Kennedy.

Don’t forget the nine-hole comp jack has running at the moment – $5 to enter and put in as many cards as you like, and it is being run in conjunction will Golf Australia.
