Division 1  @ Lang Lang GC – Lost 2-5 Vs Meeniyan GC

Match Report by Captain: Peter Rayson

The last round was played against Meeniyan in perfect weather conditions at Lang Lang with the course presented  accordingly. Lang Lang is easily one of the best courses around second only to our own.  As has been the case all season, we were able to push our opposing team to a close finish, unfortunately losing two close matches at the top two positions meant we ended up going down 2-5.

Tom Williamson and myself chalked up  maiden victories  for the season at positions number seven and six respectively. Peter Dowling put his best foot forward for the team playing with an injured back but found the going difficult with his restrictions. President Chris playing at number two pushed his opponent all the way but lost a close one on the last hole with the Meeniyan player showing great touch and leaving his downhill approach putt next to the hole.

Results:

• Tom Sorrell Lost 2&1
• Chris Leaver Lost 1Dn
• Anthony Sparkes Lost 4&3
• Peter Dowling Lost 7&5
• Rod McKenzie Lost 5&3
• Peter Rayson Won 3&2
• Tom Williamson Won 3&2

Division 2 @ Lang Lang GC – Lost 2-5 Vs Foster GC

Match Report by Captain: Dan Poynton

Our Div 2 side fronted up to Foster at Lang Lang on Sunday with a completely different looking side to normal.  A full side of fill-ins, with one exception – me, but still being 1 player short meant we were up against it already 1 match down, it also meant that everyone had to play up the order 1 spot too!

Thank you very much to the guys who put their hands up to play, and thank you to the 43 members that I rang & messaged on Saturday arvo/evening trying to find the elusive 7th player (I counted them all and can verify that 43 people were called!).  If I didn’t call you and you feel aggrieved reading this – I’m sorry but my phone ran out of battery!! Haha.

On the course, it was a very tight match with many of the matches oscillating between being up & down throughout the round – a credit to our guys considering Foster have made the final.

Ben battled away hard, having barely played in the past 12 months & up against a single figure handicapper whilst he’s off 16-  to get to the 16th hole was a great effort.  Ian Murchie also battled on, and although at one stage was well & truly down got some late wins on the board before ultimately running out of holes.  Having only just started playing again since recovering from a broken hand Darryl went awfully close to a win losing on the 17th – a really tough dog leg par 4 to a well bunkered green, Darryl reud a missed opportunity to ultimately lose the hole & match.  In my match my opponent & I both had moments of glory and other moments where we just looked at each other and laughed – however it was very tight.  A few missed putts cost me a few holes leaving me 2 down with 3 to play after being up through the middle of the round.  Thankfully a birdie on our 16th got me back into the match and I managed to take it to the 18th… where I blew it by blading a bunker shot into the scrub over the green.  A disappointing way to finish against an opponent off a handicap off 5ish.

Our saviors for the day were new member Matt Bowey who admirably won on the last hole playing in the #1 position after knocking his tee shot on the par 3 to about 3m.  Glenn Marsham was a big winner comfortably getting up 5&3.  He played a solid match with some great scrambling saving many par’s from some tight positions – I’d love to see you as a regular pennant player Glenn!!

Well done guys, and again, sincere thanks for putting your hand up to play.

Results:

• Matt Bowey Won 1Up
• Darryl Matthews Lost 2&1
• Dan Poynton Lost 2Dn
• Ian Murchie Lost 6&4
• Glenn Marsham Won 5&3
• Ben Farrari-Mela Lost 4&2
• Walk Over – Lost 10&8

Division 3 @ Leongatha GC – Lost 3-4 Vs Wonthaggi GC

Match Report by Captain: Chris Indian

Unfortunately, when the season was on the line we had a few fellas not quite able to seal their matches in must win games.  Very much like last 2 weeks, we went down in a close affair to Wonthaggi 3-4.

We could have clinched victory with one of 2 matches – with Brendan Simon’s opponent being off 5 Brendan managed to take him to 18 and unfortunately lost, we also had Dean Brown going down on 19.

Winners were Bryan McCorkell 5&3, Chris Indian 3&2 and saving the best till last Al Adcock 7&6 who apparently was only 1 over the card after 12 holes, a great effort!

Just before I sign off for this year a big thanks to all the guys who committed and came through for me this year lets hope we can finish our year next season with a pennant.  Best of luck to div4 in 2 weeks bring it home guys. LETS GET THERE and support them!

Results:

• Brendan Simon Lost 1Dn
• Allan Adcock Won 7&6
• Dean Brown Lost 19th
• John Dalton Lost 5&4
• Chris Indian Won 3&2
• Bryan McCorkall Won 5&3
• Colin Bear Lost 4&3

Division 4 @ Woorayl GC – Lost 3-4 Vs Woorayl GC

Match Report by Captain: Andy Bassett

In our last match before the final, the Div 4 team suffered its first loss going down 3-4 to a tough Woorayl team at Woorayl.  This is no disgrace as the home team advantage (I think) at Woorayl is massive considering the speed and shape of the greens and knowing how and where to approach them from.

Mark Boler again anchored our efforts with another win – the only player to compete in every game with a win this year and well done to him. Ryan Thomas again showed why he is called ‘The Rock’ after outplaying his senior opponent on the 19th in a close fought tussle. Ian Barlow also played very tough golf to secure a 2&1 win against a very handy golfer. Ian has now qualified to play for the Div 4 finals team as part of the risk management strategy to ensure a full team for the big game.

Close losses were experienced by Mark Anderson (1 down), Gary Peters (3&1 down) and Peter Jaspers (2&1) and I yoyoed around to finish 5&3 down.  Whilst licking our wounds I know this will encourage us to rethink how we could have played our opponent differently should we have the chance.

In the end though we are playing in the finals in two weeks time on Sunday the 17th May (location as yet unnamed) and we hope to emulate the Div 4 Teams of recent years to bring home the shield.  Win or lose I know we (including Barry and Fred) have already had a great year and have uncovered some future stars of the LGC.  I call on members to come down (wherever that may be) on the 17th and share in the experience of pennant golf and in particular, support the Div 4 team.

Results:

• Peter Jaspers Lost 2&1
• Gary Peters Lost 3&1
• Andy Bassett Lost 5&3
• Ryan Thomas Won 19th
• Mark Anderson Lost 1Dn
• Mark Boler Won 19th
• Ian Barlow Won 2&1

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 19^th hole and Bruce losing on the 18^th 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.

Results:

• Russell Williams Won 1Up
• Nathan Wardle Lost 6&4
• Bruce Hutton Lost 1Dn
• Barry Attwood Lost 5&3
• Dan Poynton Lost 7&5
• Ian Murchie Lost 3&2
• Grant McRitchie Lost 19th

Division 3 @ Phillip Island GC – Lost 3-4 Vs Phillip Island GC

Match Report by Captain: Chris Indian

After a very tight match against Phillip Island at Phillip Island we lost 4-3 with the deciding match going to the 20th,  hole bad luck to Gordon Morrison.

Winners for the day were Brendan Simon 2&1, Brian McCorkell 4&2 & Rob Rumian 4&3.

We can still make the final but need to win & have another game fall our way…. does this feel like a touch of déjà vue for those of us who played in div4 a few years ago… I hope so because there was a great result at the end

Results:

• Brendan Simon Won 2&1
• Allan Adcock Lost 4&2
• Gordon Morrison Lost 20th
• John Dalton Lost 5&3
• Chris Indian Lost 4&2
• Bryan McCorkall Won 4&2
• Robert Rumian Won 4&3

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

Division 1  @ Korumburra GC Lost 2-5 Vs Wonthaggi GC

Match Report by Captain: Peter Rayson

Against a well performed and undefeated Wonthaggi team who needed a win to cement their place in the finals, our team performed admirably coming within a whisker of an upset victory.

Tom Williamson lost a close match on the last hole whilst my own went south on the nineteenth. These two matches converted would have seen victory come our way. We welcomed new club member Mathew Bowey to the team playing his first ever pennant match and proved he will be a valuable asset for the club coming away with a convincing 5&3 win.

Tom Sorrell was up against one of South Gippsland’s top golfers and put up a great effort, while Chris had a similar opponent in Darren Green whose name appears regularly in past club championships at our club taking him to the seventeenth hole. Sparkesy showed great mettle nailing his opponent on the nineteenth with a solid par.

A huge thank you to Ian Murchie for showing great club support  filling in again whilst preoccupied with other concerns.

Next week we take on Korumburra at Wonthaggi  with it looking likely that we may have our full strength line up for the first time.

Results:

• Tom Sorrell Lost 6&5
• Chris Leaver Lost 3&1
• Anthony Sparkes Won 19th
• Peter Rayson Lost 19th
• Tom Williamson Lost 1Dn
• Matt Bowey Won 5&3
• Ian Murchie Lost 3&2

Division 2 – BYE

Division 3 @ Aussie Golf Ranch – Lost 2-5 Vs Woorayl GC

Match Report by Captain: Chris Indian

Div 3 went to the Ranch on Sunday to play our close rivals Woorayl who had a significantly stronger team than normal for Div 3.  Unfortunately the result was not a good one for us as we went down 5-2.

The 2 players to do their bit for the day were Dean Brown who won 6&4 & Chris Indian 2&1.

We now have fallen back to the pack with 3 other teams also on 3 wins so we need to show some of that grit that the ANZAC’s showed & win our last 2 matches which will guarantee us getting in to the final, drop 1 & we will have to rely on some other matches falling our way – so come on guys let’s dig in and let’s finish a good year, lets make it a great year!

Results:

• Brendan Simon Lost 3&1
• Dean Brown Won 6&4
• Gordon Morrison Lost 4&3
• John Dalton Lost 2Dn
• Chris Indian Won 2&1
• Bryan McCorkall Lost 1Dn
• Robert Rumian Lost 20th

Division 4 @ Wonthaggi GC – Won 6-1 Vs Welshpool GC

Match Report by Captain: Andy Bassett

Another great result considering it was 1-v-2 in Div 4 but the individual results were closer than it may appear.  Our two young guns continue to shine with Tim and Rock nailing comfortable 3&2 wins.

Tim came from 2 down after the 3rd hole to win the next 4 and to keep the lead but was given a valuable lesson when he was asked to replay his drive because he had driven from in front of the marker – a bit of gamesmanship considering there is only one marker on a tee (and none on some).  Tim took it in his stride but I suspect will never be caught out again.

Like the rest of the contests, Mark B (2 up),  Mark A (1 up) , Gary P (3&2) and I  (19th) all experienced being a number of holes down at different times and having to pull out all guns to claw our way back and take our respective games.

Peter J likewise had a great contest finally losing on the 18th after duffing an approach chip, which he rued was usually the strong part of his game.

Many thanks again to our Coach John whose chipping training regimes came to my rescue when two down with two to play and both approach chips saved my bacon, sending me into a play off, in which my opponent self destructed.

Results:

• Peter Jaspers Lost 1Dn
• Gary Peters Won 3&2
• Andy Bassett Won 19th
• Ryan Thomas Won 3&2
• Mark Anderson Won 1Up
• Mark Boler Won 2Up
• Tim Boler Won 3&2

Division 1  @ Meeniyan GC Lost 2-5 Vs Lang Lang GC

Match Report by Captain: Peter Rayson

At Meeniyan against a strong Lang Lang line up our team  performed admirably with some fine individual performances. We were close to a 4/3 loss with my own match going to the wire losing on the 18^th after holding a two up lead in the closing stages.

Alan pushed his opponent all the way and was within a whisker of causing an upset win over his opponent who was off a much lower handicap. Sparkesy inflicted a mortal blow to his opponent sending him home early with a solid performance winning  4&3.

Tom Sorrell is rapidly finding his feet in the number  one position with a great win against Lang Lang’s club captain Peter Bolt.

The lesson learnt from the week end is if we play at our best we are capable of causing some upset wins along the way. With another couple of low markers to back Tom up at the top end we can be competitive with the best, and with the junior program in place at the club under the tutorage of our pro’s we have a great foundation for pennant in a few short years.

Next week we play Wonthaggi at Korumburra.

Results:

• Tom Sorrell Won 2 Up
• Chris Leaver Lost 5&4
• Peter Rayson Lost 1 dn
• Anthony Sparkes Won 4&3
• Tom Williamson Lost 5&4
• Al Adcock Lost 3&2
• Dan Poynton Lost 6&5

Division 2 @ Wonthaggi GC Lost 2-5 Vs Lang Lang GC

Match Report by Captain: Bruce Hutton

Leongatha Golf Club’s division 2 side played against Phillip Island at Wonthaggi.  Although we only had two winners, two other games went to the 18th both of which we lost.

Congratulations to Russell Williams being our best winner 2 & 1 playing number one for the team. Our other winner was Bruce Hutton winning on the 20th hole.

Unfortunately Gordon Morrison and Peter Dowling both just lost on the 18th.  Barry Attwood, Grant McRichie and Nathan Wardle lost, better luck next time.

Overall our players showed enthusiasm and played in the spirit of the game against strong opposition. I am very impressed in our players personnel commitment to Leongatha Golf Clubs pennant participation. We have a bye this weekend but are looking forward to the next round and hopefully a win.

Results:

• Russell Williams Won 2&1

Division 3 @ Woorayl GC – Won 6-1 Vs Korumburra GC

Match Report by Captain: Chris Indian

Div 3 chalked up another big 6-1 win over Korumburra this time and while the result says it was big we had 4 matches finalised on the 18th hole & one on the 19th.  It could have gone either way.

Winners were B Simon 7&6, B McCorkell 3&2 then C Indian D Brown J Dalton all 1up & C Bear 19th R Rumian unfortunately lost 1 down.

Special thanks to Allan Adcock who at the 7th hour was asked to fill the void that was left in Div1.

Results:

• Brendan Simon Won 7&6
• Dean Brown Won 1Up
• Colin Bear Won 19th
• Chris Indian Won 1Up

Division 4 @ Korumburra GC – Won 6-1 Vs Welshpool GC

Match Report by (Stand In) Captain: Mark Boler

This week, our captain Andy Bassett was unavailable and without his leadership and motivational speeches we were worried that we might struggle, but we pushed on in his honour.

Eventually we came away with a 4-3 win, so my relief was enormous as the stand in skipper for the week.

The rock (Ryan Thomas) played well with the guidance of his new Caddie Wendy. When he was Dormie 6 Up he  then proceeded to put the next tee shot out of bounds but eventuallyheld on to win 4-2. Tim continued his good form coming from 2 down with 5 to play to win 2-1. Gary had a disappointing result but enjoyed the day and learned a lot about the course, saying “it’s very tight but not long, next time I play here it is an iron course, leave the driver in the bag”.

I was lucky in encountering a player out of form but all other players had very tight matches. Ian Barlow came into the side this week and was unlucky to lose on the last hole, so eventually at 3-3 it was up to our star No1 player Peter Jaspers to bring home the bacon. Holding his nerve he came through with the goods wining 2-1. Another great effort by all the boys.

We are now 4-0, keep it going guys under the guidance of our illustrious leader who should be back next week, Andy.

Results:

• Peter Jaspers Won 2&1
• Gary Peters Lost 6&4
• Barry Stevens Lost 4&2
• Ian Barlow Lost 1Dn

• Tim Boler Won 2&1
