Bob Taylor-White received the Bank St Wood Fired Pizza and Gardens voucher for a magnificent chip-in.
The afternoon saw a small field head out to play a stableford round. The course had been sprayed a few days earlier, so the fairways hadn’t been cut, which made it pretty hard going at times; however, it’ll be great once it’s cut again.
Lyn Carracher collected the winner’s voucher with 34 points. Dale Smith was runner-up with 31 and added to his ball collection with a nearest-the-pin on the fifth, which he birdied — and it was the birdie hole, so he received another ball.
Presentation night followed the golf, and it was pleasing to see a good crowd, including many junior golfers.
Members and guests enjoyed a delicious barbecue tea. Thanks go to Captain Jared for manning the tongs! Thanks also to Rachel, Sam and Lyn for taking care of the kitchen.
Alex Smith kicked off the formal proceedings with the junior awards. The junior club championships are decided on a best two of three rounds, and the winner was Owen Smith, with a combined score of 61. Runner-up was Bob Taylor-White with 73.
The club also has a handicap event, and the winner for the second year running was Abby Eagles with 54 net, one shot ahead of Riley Wall on 55 net.
The men’s presentation followed, with Captain Jared Smith giving a summary of the season’s events, and he thanked volunteers and members for their invaluable work during the year.
Scoota Donovan is once again club champion, having shot a superb final round of two under, 70, to defeat Captain Jed by a couple of shots.
B-grade champion and winner of the Bernie Stevens memorial trophy is President Dale Smith, who’s had a pretty good season overall, so he was a fitting winner of his old mate’s trophy. Dale also won the Medal of Medallists.
The C-grade champion is Bill Eddy. Bill has been a member for 42 years and was excited to receive the winner’s trophy.
Captain’s trophy for the best net score overall for the championships was won by Danny Neville.
The junior club championship winner was Campbell Smith, and the Saturday morning junior championship was won by Owen Smith.
The season has officially ended; however, golfers will continue to play juniors and seniors on Saturdays if there’s enough interest and, hopefully, a twilight competition.
The juniors gather at the club at 9.30am for 9.45am hit-off. The entry is $2, and the club welcomes any youngsters who would like to come and try. For afternoon golf, assembly is around 11.45am for noon hit-off. Again, anyone is welcome to join us.
Finally, a reminder of the annual general meeting on Wednesday, October 18, commencing at 7.30pm.
