Kerang

AT ladies golf last Wednesday, the field of 12 really enjoyed the cooler conditions.

The winner of the Stableford event was Jean Youl with 32 points. Chrissy Downes was runner-up on a countback.

Michelle Dillon was in the ball pool with 31 points. Carol Dear was also in the ball pool with 29 points on a countback from Nola Robinson.

Jan Harry had a lovely shot on the 9th to win nearest the pin and score a birdie.

Jill Marshall was happy to receive a new pen for her not so good efforts. Next week 9am for 9.30am start.

Again, good numbers for Thursday golf and the winner was Kevin Lane (16) with 37 points from Joe Tartaglia (13) on 36.

Men’s day is always Thursday and assembly is noon for a 12.45pm hit-off. Mark Henderson managed to win the pen for the day.

Twilight golf was again played in warm weather and the winner was Col Wilkie with 37– 4.5=32.5 to have a good win over Pat Featonby 46–11.1=34.9. Nobody managed to get on any of the par 3s.

An old member has re-joined the club and good to see Dale Hall back.

Another good turnout of golfers for Saturday golf and the winner on countback from two others was Doug Meehan (8) on 40 points from Kevin Sambrooks (15) and Gav Teasdale (11).

NTPs were Robert Dick 3rd, Deaniee Henderson (with an almost hole in one) 5th, Dale Hall 9th, Ron Schultze 13th and Luke Hadfield on the 16th.

Laughie 4BBB was held on a day that started well went downhill then picked up again weather wise.

The Brad Short/Jordan Simpson combo won with a great score of 45 points to win from Peter and Wayne Hall on 44 points on countback from Mark Henderson and Doug Meehan.

Ladies’ winner from the day was Karyl Hewitt and Toni Kilderry on 42 points with the runner-up being Jen Waterson and Jan Harry on 39 points.
