Round 2- Men’s Pennant Sunday 26th March 2017

Round 2 of Men’s Pennant resulted in losses to all three teams although well fought out.

Div. 2 Team

Beaten 4/3 by Korrumburra at Lang lang, during which  two matches were lost on the 19th and Captain Tom Sorrell beaten on the on the 18th, so a very close result without our strongest team playing. And considering Tom’s travelling back and forth from NSW to play, it’s a mighty effort.

Div 3 Team

The team did better than last week, although playing at Meeniyan and losing to Foster  3/4.  Captain  Brendan Simon  says ” I feel our winning streak is just around the corner (fingers crossed)”.

Stuart Harry had a blinder, winnning 7/5. and Bryan McCorkell also had a solid 4/3 win. Peter Dowling, playing #1, held tough on his return to pennant with a win on the 19th.

Mick Oliver was valiant in defeat, losing on the 19th. Geoff Maher was also in it up to his ears, losing 2/1. Bruce Hutton and myself lost 3/2.

Div. 5 Team

Div 5 were beaten by Lang Lang at home going down 2-5 . However the silver lining was Nick Hill and Tony Roberts both winning their matches 2/1.

With a near full list back this week all sides will be fielding very competitive sides.  Many thanks to all those players who put their hands up to fill in so we could get our Teams on the field this week.

 

Well Boys, the Women Pennant Teams have thrown down the gauntlet my having more wins than us again.  Congratulations to the Ladies involved.

LGC Men’s Pennant Results – Round 1.

Round 1 of the SGDGA Men’s Pennant was played on Sunday 19th.

With 12 regular players missing from the three teams, it was pleasing to see others stepping up to have a game.

Our Div 2 Team, Captained by Tom Sorrell, played at Korrumburra Golf Club against Foster GC and came away with the very close fought 4-3 win.

Div 3 Team, Captained by Brendan Simon played at Phillip Island GC against Meeniyan GC and received a 1-6 pounding  with only the experienced hand, Bruce Hutton serving up enough curry to his opponent, for a win.

Div 5 Team, Captained by Denis Wallace, came home with a 4-3 win over Wonthaggi GC after Nick Hill seized the advantage on the 20th hole to secure his hard fought game.

With some of the regulars back this week, we are looking forward to next Sunday.
