Kerang

TWO groups of four set off in perfect conditions to play Stableford for Ladies golf on Wednesday.

Rhonda Willoughby played very well to score 38 points. A par on the sixth was well deserved.

Runner-up was Margaret Learmonth with 36 points and in the ballpool was Joyce Boyd with 35 points. Michelle Dillon scored nearest the pin on the ninth.

Members are reminded that the second round of the championships will be played on December 14 followed by afternoon tea. Next week will be monthly medal stroke day.

Thursday was R&R Stableford.

Twenty members turned up on a hot first day of summer and Mal Kennedy, in his first competitive game, won the day with 39 points. Ballpool results, G Wyte 37, W O’Neill 36 and T Laughlin 35 on countback.

NTPs went to J Hewitt on the third, W O’Neill fifth, R Schultze on the ninth and T Hall (making a comeback?) on the 13th and 16th.

There will no competition golf on Thursday due to Rob Elliott’s funeral, to be held at 11am followed by a wake at the golf club. Golfers can play on Wednesday afternoon, as per normal Thursday conditions.

On Saturday, the event was Monthly Medal Stroke.

Thirty-one members took part on a great day weather wise with the eventual winner being our new president Peter Jones, with a score of 83-15=68.

The lady’s winner was Deaniee Henderson with 90-20=70.

Ballpool C Gray 69, C Waterson and P Hall 70, R Pay, G Teasdale and K Lane all 71.

NTPs third D Gray, fifth D Henderson, ninth R Pay, 13th K Sambrooks and no one got the 16th. Just a reminder that David Drake’s send-off is on Friday night.
