2015 BJS INSURANCE TOP GUN FINAL 19

October 22, 2015Comments Off on 2015 BJS INSURANCE TOP GUN FINAL 19Latest News

BJS INSURANCE TOP GUN SHOOTOUT FINAL

A great finish by Hugh Goodman today with 37 points on this the final qualifying round after 16 weeks. It proves the old adage that “it’s never over ’til its over”.  37 points put Hugh in the mix for the Top Gun Shootout Final with the Top 19 qualifiers now being settled.

With  the earlier withdrawal of Bryan McCorkell and Peter Walsh from the final 19 due to other commitments, Chris Leaver and Norm Hughes hung on with gritted teeth, to positions 18 and 19 for the final.

This left Marea Maher and last years Pop Gun knocking on the door.  It is extremely important that we have 19 starters for the final, so I remind those players in the Top 19, should your circumstances change and you have to withdraw, please let Marea Maher or the club, know as soon as possible.

A briefing will be given by Starter and Play controller, Trevor Steer at 08.45am and Tee Off begins at 09.00am sharp this Sunday, so please be at the Course and register with Trevor at the latest by 08.30am. The weather, I hear, should be in the high 20’s so a perfect day for golf.

It is adviseable to have your “ball marked really well” so you can readily identify it, as there will be 19 of them in play after the first Tee off.  Have a few marked in case you lose one.

The Club will have a drinks cart following the field from which you can purchase the usual hydrations, and a bbq will be provided to players as they round the turn at the 9th.

Spectators are encouraged, and a few spotters would probably speed up play so get into the fun of the day and cruise around with the field and support your tip for the final.

One player will be eliminated each hole and they will be the person with the lowest stableford score for the hole.  If more than one player  has the same low score, then they will participate in a chip off to nearest to the pin. The player finishing furthest from the pin, being eliminated.  The rest progress to the next hole.

We would like to thank our sponsors BJS Insurance for supporting this event. Congratulations to all players that entered and in particular, to the following 19 Top Gun finalist for 2015:

1 Brownlie Peter 44

2015 BJS Insurance Top Gun Update- Final Week

BJS Insurance Top Gun Update 17 Oct 2015

 

With qualifying rounds closing this coming Thursday 22 October, the final 19 Top gun participants can still be re-shaped.

With a blistering 44 points in today’s 2nd round of the Club Championship event, Peter Browlie has put a target on his back as the man to beat.

Whilst those at the top of the list are secure, the lower end of the Top19 are still shaky.  The late withdrawal by contender Bryan McCorkell has opened the door for Norm Hughes to jump into 19th position with 34 points on countback from a few others.

There are 7 players with 36 points or less in the top 19, and with the Course providing plenty of roll, I’m sure the final 19 are yet to be determined.

1 Brownlie Peter 44
2 Brown Rod 41
3 Maher Geoff 41
4 Clark Dylan 41
5 Hopcraft Rod 40
6 Sorrell Tom 39
7 Smith Jon 39
8 Schache Alan 38
9 Gray Coral 38
10 Walsh Peter 38
11 Waters Peter 38
12 Godridge Keith 38
13 Castwood Kevin 36
14 Hutton Bruce 36
15 Simon John 36
16 Poynton Dan 36
17 Cathie Bruce 35

19 Hughes Norm 34

2015 BJS Insurance Top Gun Shootout Update

October 12, 2015Comments Off on 2015 BJS Insurance Top Gun Shootout UpdateLatest News

11 October Update: BJS Insurance Top Gun Shootout.

Two weeks today until the final Shootout and Keith Godridge seems to have assured himself of a place in the final with a solid 38 points in the Monthly medal.

The Course continues to improve as does the weather so I am expecting the final Top 19  stableford point scorers has not been “set” as yet, so keep the rounds coming, and if you are still contemplating entering then get in and sign up at the front desk before next you play.  $15 to enter and an amazing $350 first prize voucher.

Oh well, maybe next round for me, if only I could stop firing blanks.  But I live in hope as some big names are teetering on the brink.

1 Brown Rod 41

March Course Condition Report

November 25, 2014Comments Off on March Course Condition ReportUncategorized

We have survived our busy period with the November coring, annual tournament and busy Christmas holidays now gone.

The greens have responded well to our recent November renovation and are currently in excellent condition.

We have had a cooler than expected start to summer. Recent humid conditions has promoted growth and kept the mowers busy. A growth regulator has been sprayed to help control excessive top growth.

Fairways are in excellent condition and a big thank you must go to Al Sperling for his continued help cutting fairways. Without his help the fairways would not be presented at such a high standard every week. Thanks Al.  Fairways are yet to be irrigated.

The big pump seal, suction line and non-return check valves have now all been replaced or fixed. Finally the irrigation system is back working with some reliability.  Thank you to all involved.

It is very disappointing to see the way the bunkers have been left after play over the last 2 months. So much time and effort has gone into the bunker project to improve their conditions. Bunkers have been left not raked, foot marks left, players walking up faces, rakes left out of bunkers. If players expect a decent fair lie when they enter a bunker, they must remember to leave it in the condition that they would like it. We must improve the way we look after them.  Please remember to smooth sides with the back of the rake to allow them to firm up to allow ball to roll into the middle. Rakes are to be placed in the middle of the bunkers

Planned works & maintenance for March

The greens will be cored on Wednesday 4th March.  Whilst this makes the greens unfriendly for a few weeks, it is essential in ensuring their health and quality over the busy summer period.  Thank you for your patience over this time.

Other maintenance will be as per normal with regular mowing & rolling.

Thanks & Regards

Dylan McMeekin
Superintendant

I would like to say a big thank-you for running the Trainee Pro-Am. I keep mentioning to the Huntingdale members that Leongatha is a hidden gem! I would like to say a big thanks to all the wonderful volunteers and members. I spoke to most of the Trainees and they all loved the course and said the greens were the toughest they have played!

Welcome to the Leongatha Golf Club

LeongathaWeb_coin100-BEST-COURSES2015 Golf Club is a classic Vern Morcom design that has been a hidden treasure in Victoria’s South Gippsland region for far too long.  It is a scenic layout that covers terrain from hilly to gently rolling with wide santa-ana couch fairways flanked by natural bushland.  The greens are also a surprise for a visiting golfer.  They are beautifully maintained and feature subtle contouring.

“When this Vern Morcom design first cracked a spot in our Top-100 in 2013, the secret was out and it could no longer be considered a hidden treasure of Victoria’s Gippsland.”
