Down the Fairways – Kerang

ON Thursday on a beautiful day Brad Short (10) continued his good form of late to win the day with 37 points. Runner-up was the ever-consistent Kevin Lane (16) with 36 points and the others in the ball pool were Pat Featonby (16) and Phil Lloyd (10) and they were both on 35 points.

Nearest the pins were Phil Lloyd on the 3rd, Doug Ellwood 5th, Brad Short 9th, Doug Meehan 13th and no one managed to find the 16th green.

Saturday again was another great day weather-wise and we welcomed two visitors, Trevor House from Perth and Gary Allen from south of Adelaide.

Unfortunately, the scores didn’t indicate how good the day was with the winner only having 33 points and that was Kevin Lane (16).

In the ball pool was Tony Laughlin (9), Terry Turvey (13) and Kevin Chase (26) all on 32 and Allan Free (20) on 31. Nearest the pins were no one on the 3rd, Joe Tartaglia 5th, Ron Schultze 9th, Doug Meehan 13th and the 16th went to Gary Allen.

On Sunday the pennant teams played at Kerang, Division 1 v Lalbert and Division 2 v Cohuna 3.

The Division 1 team went down again 4/1 with Luke Hadfield being the only winner and I think that now puts our Division 1 side out of the finals race.

Division 2 won 3/2 with Scott Harry winning two up, David Knight one up and Ron Schultze again winning 3/2 while Jan Harry and Brendan Shields both losing one down. The win puts Division 2 second on the ladder and a win next week against Cohuna 2 will put them in the finals so all the best to them this Sunday.
