2019 INVY ESPY HOTEL SUPER LEAGUE

March 5, 2019Comments Off on 2019 INVY ESPY HOTEL SUPER LEAGUELatest News

                2019 INVY ESPY HOTEL SUPER LEAGUE ROUND 2

   

With two draws, round two certainly saw some movements on the ladder.

    Team Rosellas took over top position from Possums.

 Kookaburras moved from 7th place to 5th and is only .73% out of the top eight.

 Team Echidnas were the only team not to move and cemented their place at bottom of the ladder. But as a member of Echidnas, I am sure with five rounds to go, we will soon be taking Rosellas place on top of the ladder.

    The Winner of the ROD BROWN Best and Fairest with a fine 40 points was Neil McKenzie

      Neil will be able to celebrate his win with the nice dinner compliments of the Super League sponsors

March 3, 2019Comments Off on Final of the Gordon West 9 Hole CompetitionLatest News

Today was a very warm and blustery day at Leongatha Golf Club but it didn’t stop a large field playing in the final Round of the Gordon West 9 Hole Competition.  Jean Chaplin with a nett score of 34 points beat all the other women home, and this month’s Men’s Monthly Medal Winner, Chris Leaver, who continued his great form, finishing with a 34 of the stick.

Once again Pat West has been out early every round of the competition, checking players in and handing out the cards, and writing up the team lists for each day’s play, with many thanks going the Trevor Seebeck and Ian Danks for keeping the tallies, checking the cards and handicapping standout players each event.  Pat reminded us that the Gordon West continues to be a popular event, through the support of not only the players, but the long running association with sponsors Deborah & Kevin Scott from South Gippsland Kennels, who have already committed to sponsoring again in 2020.

The overall winning Team for 2019 was Divots with 54 points over Top Dogs (46) and & 7 Up (42).  Attached is a photo of the Winning Team, and sponsors from L-R Kevin Scott, Dot Stubbs, Trevor Moss,  Rita de Bondt, Ron Paice,  Chris Leaver, Anna de Bondt, Marianne Leaver, Pat West & Deborah Scott.

What’s a Heritage Raffle you may ask? 
The purpose of the proceeds of this Heritage Raffle is to establish a capability to digitize all of LGC’s historical holdings and to store them in a Mosaic archive which will allow on-line access for those interested viewers.  This capability will also house our present, and future collection of  material relating to H.V (Vern)  Morcom, our golf course designer.
 There are only 100 tickets @ $40/ticket (just $10/ player)  The prizes of the raffle, as you can see, are rounds of golf for 4 players at seven different golf clubs in Victoria and a round for two players in Tasmania.  Each of these very generous Clubs, have a connection with Vern Morcom and  support the purpose of the H.V.Morcom Tribute Plate event.  I encourage you to take the opportunity to play on any of these wonderful courses.
1st Prize, fittingly is a round for four (4) players donated by Kingston Heath Golf Club through General Manager, Gregg Chapple who inspired this raffle, when he presented to LGC the voucher  shortly after the inaugural H.V Morcom Tribute Match and encouraged us to continue with our mission. “The Heath” is regarded as one of the top Clubs in Australia who have hosted many prestigious international and national golfing events, and is the home Course where Vern Morcom was Head Greenkeeper then Course Superintendent for 37 years.
