Our monthly medal winner was Angela Morton with 72 net, closely followed by Michelle Dillon with net 73.

We held the final of our Ian Westland Four Ball just prior to the new year and it was between Chris Gray/Blake Shay against Gavin Teasdale/Shane Dibsdale with the Gray/Shay combination winning the final.

Summer Pennant started last Sunday, and we have two teams entered. It was played at Kerang, and we came away with one win and one loss.

The B team played against Pyramid Hill and lost 2/1, Jack Hewitt and Joe Tartaglia won 5/4 and Brian Gibson/ Chris Gray lost one down and Col Wilkie/Peter Jones lost 5/4.

The A team beat Balranald 2/1 with Brendan Shields/Mark Henderson lost two down, Scott Harry/Ron Schultze won 3/2 and Chris Waterson/Kevin Lane won 6/5.

This week is at Cohuna and the A team is from Brendan Shields, Scott Harry, Chris Waterson, Kevin Lane, Deaniee Henderson and Ross Nesbit and the B team has the bye.

Good luck to those going on the golf trip this weekend I’m sure we’ll all hear stories about it next week.
