A large field, good weather and good golf saw out the end of 2016 at Leongatha Golf Club.  Russell Williams again came out blazing with another great round of 41 to win A Grade and best score of the day. Santa brought him something special this year as that’s two wins in three days.

Stuart Harry won the Par 3 Challenge with a score of 12 points, a great result considering he only recently converted from LH to RH golf.

And a nice eagle on the 3rd for Tom Sorrell also today, a hole with run made for big hitting players, so I will be expecting to see a few more on this hole in the new year.

Just a reminder to all players that we now have measuring tapes on the 14th and 16th flag sticks.  If you are in the the hunt for a nearest the pin on either hole please follow the instructions on the metal NTP holder on that green.

In short; Place the NTP marker on the green where your ball has landed. Your Marker  ticks the NTP Box on the top right of your score card and then you measure the distance and record the distance next to the NTP Box on your card.  It is not necessary to leave any details at the Green.  All recording is now done on your score card.  If you or your marker don’t record the NTP on your card, then it didn’t happen. Please help us by following the new NTP Instructions.

Most importantly, have a safe and happy new year.

We started in calm humid conditions which turned very hot and clammy before the afternoon thunderstorms cleared the air with heavy down pours and lightning.  Play was suspended for a short time and the greens recovered wonderfully thanks to the recent corings. How the weather changed today for the good field of 89.  The scoring was again hot with the best score  being 40 points and shared by three players although Russell Williams nailed the best round on countback.
