A Big Classic “Thank You”

As our Club’s representatives on the South Gippsland Golf Classic Committee, Ian Nunn and I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all of our staff and volunteers who made yesterday’s 4-ball event another outstanding success. We are in the enviable position of receiveing the thanks and praise that the players heap upon us about the state of the course and the excellent work done by our volunteers.

With a capacity field of 256 players to accomodate, everything needed to be well coordinated and exectued for things to run smoothly. It requires a true team effort and is a tribute to you all that we were able to pull it off so successfully.

I would particularly like to pay tribute to our hardworking groundstaff for the way they presented the course. Dylan, Denis and Tom (DDT) certainly know how to “kill off” the opposition when it comes to course presentation. It is a pity that after having started at around 4.30am they are too tired to sit with us and hear the glowing comments that flood in from the players after their round.

Quite a few of our members took the opportunity to play in the event, some performing very well. We particularly congratulate Libby Seebeck and Julie Howard on their success in winning the B grade section of the Ladies event. Not a bad result for a couple of “fill in’s”! Another local pair of Fay Quilford and Marg Griffiths finished second to Libby and Julie. Well done girls!

In the Men’s section, Chris Indian and Brendan Simon continued on their merry way to finish third in A grade, while Bruce Cathie partnered a visitor, Bruce Cairncross to finish second in B Grade. Well done to you guys.

We look forward to making this day another success next year.

John Fraser also put together a very good round by posting 39 points to win C Grade.

Thursday Mixed Stableford – Thursday 11th February 2016

Another great day for golf saw Jeff Brewer certainly enjoy himself. Playing his first competitive round since having a knee replacement, Jeff blitzed the course with a wide array of shots. Playing off a handicap of 19 (although not for much longer!) Jeff parred the front nine (27 stableford points including three 4 pointers!) on his way to a total of 45 points, easily the best score of the day. Jeff’s playing partner, Peter Horman, also had a good day shooting under 100 off the stick for 38 points to take out C Grade. Between them, they won 14 holes from two demoralised opponents (myself included) and convincingly won the “dollar”!

SGDGA Junior Pennant Rnd 2. Sunday 7/2/2016

Results of Junior Pennant.

 

Once again our Team of Jessica Harry, Ryan Thomas and Tim Boler teed off in the second round, this time at Lang Lang Golf Club.

Jeesica Harry got up to beat Taylor Robinson (Phillip Island) 2/1 in another nail biter. Jessica is contining her solid form.

Tim Boler lost a close match to Jacob Taberner (Lang Lang) 3/2 ; and

Ryan Thomas found Charlie May (Lang Lang) a little hot to handle, going down 5/4. Charlie is a very tough opponent and had been the SGDJ No. 1 player in a number of the Metro Pennant games recently.

This leaves us in 4th spot on 2 wins.  Due to other conflicting activities the team will not be hitting off in Round 3.

Time will tell if we have any further part in the finals.  Whilst not having the numbers of the other top three clubs, our players are experiencing some invaluable match pratice which will hold them in good stead in matches to come.
