Thanks Guys for the Wonderful Condition of our Course

May 18, 2019Comments Off on Thanks Guys for the Wonderful Condition of our CourseLatest News

This past week has been THANK A SUPERINTENDENT WEEK, where we get to thank our course staff and volunteers for maintaining our course in such wonderful condition.  Unfortunately, due to the Clubhouse roof works entering their final stages and us just getting back inside the Clubhouse, it was not possible for us to thank our fabulous course staff of Dylan, Tom, Dennis and the team of volunteers as we would have wished. However, take it as read guys that we  very much appreciate your efforts in maintaining our course to such a consistently high standard.  I’m sure that I speak on behalf of all LGC golfers when I say that despite the many poor rounds we have played throughout the year, it has been an absolute joy to be out and about on such a great course maintained in such terrific condition.

 

Thank a Super Week

It is only when you go to other courses that you realise just how good we have got it here. I was lucky enough to recently play a round at Yarra Yarra, and while their clubhouse was pretty swish, their course was, in my unbiased opinion, no better than ours. Similarly, upon wandering around while attending the recent men’s pennant final at Phillip Island, again I was thankful I was a member here at LGC.

Peter Waters,

President

2019 Invy Espy Super League Final Results

May 18, 2019Comments Off on 2019 Invy Espy Super League Final ResultsLatest News

 

In view of the fact that contestants in the 2019 Invy Espy Super League Final were unable to post a score that counted today due to the McCaughan 4BBB event, the Final has been run and won. The Possums have prevailed in a closely fought battle with the Rosellas, 145 to 143. For the Possums, best performers included Dave Forbes (39), Trevor Seebeck (36) and Wendy Parker and Trevor Steer with 35 each. For the unlucky Rosellas, David Child chimed in with 38, while Peter Waters (36), Max Hyde (35) and Geoff Maher (34) all posted useful contributions. Dave Forbes picked up the Espy voucher for being best performer of the Final, congratulations Dave. Presentations will be made to the winning team, the runners up and the male and female winners of the Rod Brown B&F awards at the club in a couple of weeks when George gets back on deck.

Once again, we would like to thank Dylan Clark from the Esplanade Hotel Inverloch for his generous sponsorship of this event. Our thanks also go to all who entered the competition this year, we had a great response with 8 teams of 8 players contesting the regular season rounds. Interestingly, the winning Possums team, and the 4th-placed Wombats both had 3 female players, while the remaining 6 teams only had 2. Well done girls, you carried your teams well all season and especially in the finals. Special thanks to George Misson who rallied the troops before the season kickoff.

Men’s Pennant – The Finals

May 5, 2019Comments Off on Men’s Pennant – The FinalsLatest News

The rub of the green just didn’t go our way today.

Division 3 lost 4 matches to 3 after Nathan Wardle’s opponent chipped in from 20 metres off the green for a birdie on the 18th hole.  Nathan looked to have the match (and the Pennant) won when he chipped it dead but a classy chip-in from his opponent meant the Lang Lang team was doing all the cheering.

Division 5 also lost 4 matches to 3 with Garry Rotteveel carrying all the pressure as he went down the 20th hole with 20 people watching every shot.  His opponent stood up under the intense pressure and the Welshpool team celebrated their first pennant win since 2009.  Being the great club that we are,  we were happy for them and toasted their success.

On a personal level, I would like to thank everyone who played this year in Divvy 1, 3 & 5  for representing the Club proudly and admirably.  We presented ourselves as excellent citizens of South Gippsland golf and helped create a great spirit of competitiveness and friendship with our South Gippsland mates.

Special thanks to the team captains – Tom Sorrell, Chris Indian and John McLennan.  Their love of Pennant is brilliant, their organisation of their teams was spot on and their leadership was top notch.

No pennants but a great year, thanks to every one of you.

Colin Bear

Men’s Captain
