This continues to be one of the most popular events on our annual calendar, and another hotly contested classic is sure to take place this weekend.
As usual, there will be 18-hole events on both Saturday and Sunday, as well as the 36 hole trophies, in fourball best ball format. Good luck to all golfers.
It has been a busy time on the course over the past week.
Last Thursday, the ladies played their monthly medal and the best score was recorded by Jen Choice with net 72, a shot clear of Yvonne Holmes.
A stableford event was played on Saturday, and the A-grade winner was Troy Grant with a sub-par round of 41 points, from runner-up Zach Pearce with 38.
B-grade winner was Jamie Loy 38 from runner-up Glen Warren 35, and in C-grade Peter O’Brien had 40 points from runner-up Fiona Milward 39.
On Wednesday, in superb spring conditions the scoring was hot, with George Willis recording 43 points to win A-grade from runner-up Frank Conallin 38, and in B-grade Albert Liebenberg had an impressive 44 points to win from Brian Dixon, who was unlucky to only receive a runners-up prize with 42.
After this weekend’s classic there will be plenty of golf to keep everyone on the course.
On Tuesday the ladies will play a 3x3x3, Wednesday is the usual stableford event and it will be stableford again on Thursday.
Next weekend will see a par event on Saturday, followed on Sunday by the High School Charity Day, which will be a four-person ambrose.
The action continues in early October when our annual Veterans’ Week of Golf will take place.
Registration is Sunday, October 8 and daily events will be held throughout the week, culminating in VGA Trophy Day on Friday.
Entry forms are on the golf club website.
Don’t forget the raffle draws tonight from 7pm, happy hour 6pm to 7pm and meals are available tonight and tomorrow night.
