Division 1 @ Wonthaggi GC – Lost 3-4 Vs Korumburra GC
Match Report by Captain: Peter Rayson
Sunday saw us competing against a similar strength side in Korumburra at Wonthaggi . Once again the team showed great spirit in all contested matches but we fell agonisingly shore with a 3 / 4 loss. Tom Sorrell again proved he will be a player ‘correction’ is a top line player, who is going to keep improving under the guidance of his caddy / coach Dad Steve with a victory over the Burra’s top player Steve Bromby.
The comment was made that the contest was for the wooden spoon but there is a quiet confidence in the team that we can defeat last years premiers in the final round at Lang Lang that could see us rise up the ladder. Sparkesy is playing some solid golf with another victory at number three and is pushing President Chris for a spot at number two. There will be some considerable thought going into the line up as with the correct pairings we have the talent for the win.
Results:
- Tom Sorrell Won 1Up
- Chris Leaver Lost 3&2
- Anthony Sparkes Won 5&3
- Peter Rayson Lost 2&1
- Matt Bowey Lost 4&3
- Peter Dowling Won 5&4
- Tom Williamson Lost 2&1
Division 2 @ Foster GC – Lost 1-6 Vs Wonthaggi GC
Match Report by Captain: Bruce Hutton
Leongatha Golf Club’s division 2 played against Wonthaggi at Foster on Sunday 26th. Only one of our team managed to win.
Congratulations to Russell Williams continuing on his excellent performance was our only successful winner. He finished in style winning 1 up and playing number one for the team. The course was in good condition and the rain held off all day.
The rest of our team did their best but unfortunately Grant McRichie, Ian Murchie, Dan Poynton, Barry Attwood, Bruce Hutton and Nathan Wardle were all unsuccessful. We did have a couple of close ones with Grant losing on the 19th hole and Bruce losing on the 18th hole, Wonthaggi were just too strong for us on the day.
A special thanks to Dan and Ian filling in for the team at last minutes notice. Unfortunately this loss prevents us from making the finals, but winning is not everything, representing the club is what it is all about. This coming Sunday we play against Foster at Lang Lang. Congratulations on division 3 and 4 having convincing wins. Bad luck to division 1 going down but doing their best against very strong opposition.

Division 4 @ Wonthaggi GC – Won 6-1 Vs Welshpool GC
Match Report by Captain: Andy Bassett
Today our Div 4 Pennant Team secured their place in the Pennant final with a strong win over Wonthaggi at Meeniyan Golf Club. Played in cold and showery conditions both our junior guns had strong wins with Ryan solid down the middle from the 1st Tee off leading to an early finish with an outstanding 9&7 win and Tim overcoming an early slump to win comfortably 5&4.
Mark Anderson (W- 5&4), Peter Jaspers (W-5&4) and I (W-4&2) consolidated the win. Mark Boler had looked comfortable being 2 up with a few to go but after almost snatching defeat from the jaws of victory losing on the 18th and was forced into the play off. With some encouraging advice from his new caddie (Tim) Mark regrouped and held his nerve and won on the 19th.
Fred de Bondt stepped in as a replacement for Gary Peters who was a last minute withdrawal. Fred was dissappointed that he went down 3&2 but I thank him once again for stepping up to the plate for the Club. I know that his opponent had to pull out some extrodinary chip ins and one putts to make the difference.
Results:
- Peter Jaspers Won 5&4
- Fred De Bondt Lost 3&2
- Andy Bassett Won 4&2
- Ryan Thomas Won 9&7
- Mark Anderson Won 5&4
- Mark Boler Won 19th
- Tim Boler Won 5&4
