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.

Well done to the dozen volunteers that turned out to lay the turf on the 18th fairway which had been prepared by Dylan & Dennis on Wednesday. Timing is everything with these events as if we left the repair until after the coming major events, it would likely be too dry and hot for the turf to root in as easily. The area is roped off to ensure carts use the left hand side of the fairway and green. The newly turfed area’s are marked as GUR (compulsory) and relief will be taken at the nearest point, no closer to the green, as per Rule 25-1.
Cart users, when travelling from the 18th green to the 1st hole, please travel behind the 18th green as close to the tree line as possible and then approach the first tee along the bitumen path.

Hickory Golf Coming to Leongatha Golf Club
Following the first round of the G & P West, 9 hole event on Sunday 7th October, Leongatha Golf Club will be hosting members of the Golf Society of Australia (GSA) at 11.am for a history forum, light lunch and 9 holes of golf using their hickory shafted golf clubs. The golf history buffs will be given a brief outline of LGC history and the making of our wonderful Vern Morcom course, by club historian Jon Smith.
This is a great opportunity for new (and old) members to learn more about their Club, as well as anyone in our community with an old set of hickory clubs in the garage, to pull them out, dust them off, put on your old tweeds and plaids and join in the experience. We invite anyone interested in golf (and golf history) and looking to have some fun, to come along and join in the day.
