LGC Presentation Night

December 5, 2016Comments Off on LGC Presentation NightLatest News

On Friday 2nd of December 2016 our Leongatha Golf Club Annual Presentation Night and Christmas party was held.  A good crowd of ninety players, family and guests were present for the evening.  It was particularly good to see all of the Club’s current life members present on the night, as well as a number of children, giving it a very good family feel.

There were a number of apologies on the night, the latest from Barry Stevens who had a health scare that day which prevented him from attending to pick up his Hyland Cup trophy, so we have our fingers crossed that Barry is recovering quickly.

Congratulations go to all the Women’s  award winners and in particular, to the Women’s Club Champion for 2016, Rebecca Thomas.

The Men’s Pennant sides competed in the South Gippsland District Golf Association Pennant Competition in 2016 and had great success winning Divisions 2, Division 3 and Division 4 flags in very tight final games.

Although Pennant is a Team event, clearly there were some very good individual players whom performed well each week. The outstanding Men’s pennant player of 2016 was Brendan Simon

The BJS Insurance Top Gun Shoot Out was held in November and Ian Murchie outlasted six chip off’s to win his first Top Gun title after seventeen contenders fell by the wayside and before beating Geoff Maher on the 18th hole. Frank Gill holds this year’s Pop Gun title after being first out of the shootout, losing a chip off on the 1st hole.

Of course all of these events were extremely well covered in the local papers and we thank our No. 1 news hound, Bryan McCorkell for his continued support in filing stories with the local press.

Final Rnd of Junior U18 Pennant – Sunday 27/11/2016

November 27, 2016Comments Off on Final Rnd of Junior U18 Pennant – Sunday 27/11/2016Latest News

Today the South Gippsland Combined side hosted Settlers Run at Lang Lang Golf Club in the final home and away round of the Under 18 Pennant competition for Region 5.

Representative Cricket and the Golf World cup made us a little light on for “seasoned golfers” this weekend but as one door closes another opens and in steps another of Josh and John’s Junior Clinic brigade.

Today was Danny Buissink’s first 18 holes of golf since earning his handicap, and first day of pennant.  He was accompanied by Miles Wrigley, a seasoned veteran of two previous pennant games, but Danny always looked as though he was at home on the Course.

There was no fairy tale today and Danny was beaten by Hayden Waters, 6/5 and Miles lost to Matt Phillips 5/3 in a great tussle. That was Hayden’s first win after starting pennant last year and going through until now without a win.  That is a great example for both Danny and Miles, that a win is not that far away, you just need to stick with it.

The team shared the other 4 matches winning two and losing two finishing with an overall loss to Settlers Run 2-4.

Charlie May lost 5/4 to Jack Harrison.

Jacob Taberner beat Dylan Sauders 5/4

Oscar Harry beat Chad Mulvogue 4/2 and

Jessica Harry lost 3/1 to Blake Pullen.

Our run is over this year, no finals this time round.

Well done to Lang Lang Golf Club for allowing us to use their Course as our home ground, as it is the closest South Gippsland Course to the metro area. Well done to Ruth May for looking after the kids each home match with a good feed and drinks.

Thanks to all the parents who caddied for their young golfers and helped managing the team when I couldn’t, and thanks to Denis Wallace for coming out today and experiencing some of Junior golf and caddying for Danny in his first game.

From the enthusiasm of the players, it looks like we can back on having another go next year.
