Down the Fairways – Kerang

OUR Anzac Day Stableford event was well attended with visitors from Tocumwal and Jamberoo (WA).

Thirty-three members and guests entered this year’s event, and the weather played its part again.

Sunshine brings out the best in golfers and it did that, with the winner in the men’s section our captain Jack Hewitt (10) on 39 points and runner-up Kevin Lane (16) on 37 points.

Winner of the ladies was our visitor from Jamberoo, Rhonda McKinley (31) on 36 points, and runner-up was Michelle Dillon (9) on 33.

Nearest the pins were Phil Lloyd on the 3rd, Gary Pay 5th, Graeme Brierley 9th, David Wood 13th and Chris Waterson on the 16th.

Last Wednesday, 10 lady members had another fine day for golf and the winner was Jenny Waterson with 35 points from Carol Dear on 34 points. Chino’s NTP went to Chrissy Downs.

For Thursday’s R&R Stableford, a windy cool afternoon greeted the 16 members who entered the competition.

The winner was Brendan Shields on a three-way countback from G. Wyte and R. Fabry, all on 38 points.

NTP went to P. Jones on the 5th, T. Hall the 9th, J. Tartaglia the 13th, T. Laughlin the 16th and no one was able to claim 3rd.

For Saturday’s Stableford, again not a huge crowd but we did have two visitors – Paul Jackson from Rich River and Andrew Lowther from St Leonards – as we had a number of golfers play in Murrabit’s open day.

Luke Hadfield (9) had a good day despite a club landing in a tree and the shaft breaking on another one to win with 36 points.

Ladies winner was Michelle Dillon (9) on 35 with Carol Dear (27) close behind on 34.

Ball pool was Barry Gladman (26) 35, Frank Ritchie (16) and Chris Waterson (4), both on 34.

Nearest the pins were Ross Nesbit 3rd, Chris Waterson 5th, Michelle Dillon 9th, Luke Hadfield 13th and no one landed on the 16th.

For his fine round of golf, our visitor, Andrew Lowther, won our coveted pen.

On Sunday, Kerang travelled to Lalbert for Pennant, Division 1 v Lakeside and Division 2 v Cohuna 3.

Division 1 went down 3/1 so they are not in the finals, but Division 2 had a 3/2 win and they are now in the grand final to be played at Lakeside this coming Sunday and our opponents will be Lalbert, so all the best to those players.

Monthly Medal this weekend is stroke, so count them all everyone and let’s have a good day.
