Monday night – 5 hole golf

The 5 hole concept on a Monday night is proving to be a popular event.  The Fennessy sausages are gaining a strong following and the ideal weather conditions have helped a little bit too.

The Jason Day Team won the night on a countback from a couple of unlucky groups.  Congratulations to Beau Elkin, his father Rod and teammates Lynda Bassett and Nan Meagher.

Beau (our 7 year old star) also had the best score of the night with a nett score of 13.

Lesley Renwick was the best of the female participants and won the women’s competition with nett 19.

George Misson got lucky when Beau drew his name for the Mystery Draw.  Congratulations George.

Monday 5 hole Golf resumes in two weeks (November 27).  Members and non-members are welcome to join the growing movement and enjoy a Fennessy two-snag treat.

Good golfing

Top Gun final

Congratulations to Andrew Smith who is the 2017 Top Gun winner after an exciting Sunday of tense and thrilling golf.

Andy prevailed over the very solid John McLennan after a chip-off on the 18th hole.  John’s putt on the 18th lipped the cup denying him of victory.  Andy’s top-notch chip over the bunker in the “chip-off” sealed the deal.

Ken Smirk fought hard to finish third and was the “champion of the chip-off” surviving 6 chip-offs before falling out of the playoff on the 17th.

Peter Waters (16th hole), George Misson (15th hole) and Denis Wallace (14th hole) rounded out the top 6 and played excellent golf to get through to the closing holes.

Neale Gillin stitched up the prestigious Pop Gun award after being pipped in the first hole chip-off.

Final Field for BJS Insurance Top Gun Shootout.

Today (Thursday 9/11/2017) was the final day of qualifying for the BJS Insurance Top Gun Shootout.  President Peter Waters made par today and with 36 points, pushed his way into the Shootout, relegating Matt Bowey down to 1st Reserve.

The Shootout starts at 09.00 am sharp on Sunday  morning, th12th Nov  and all finalist will need to check in by 08.30 am.  You will also need to bring 3 balls each clearly marked with your ranking number as listed below (ie from 1-19).  Bring plenty of water.

First 9 holes usually takes about 3-3.5 hrs, then a break for a BBQ lunch before the final 9.

A Calcutta Auction was run today by Auctioneer Rohan Mc Crae and plenty of spiritied bidding made Chris Leaver the best backed favourite to take out the title of Top Gun, edging out Jon Smith and Doug Clemann.  I guess Sunday will sort the field out.  Good luck to all 19 Shootout finalists.

Visitors, friends and spectators most welcome.
