Higlett/Edwards Match Play

Trevor Gough and Darryl Casey played Pat Bardsley and Terry Small in the final of this pairs handicap Match Play event last Saturday.  In what was described as a classic final, Trevor and Darryl won quite convincingly in the end 4 up with 3 to play.  

Well done to both the winners and the finalists for a great effort in what is a very difficult event to win.

Playoff

A few weeks ago, two teams finished equal in the C Grade Foursomes Championship in the scratch event, requiring an 18 hole playoff.  

The playoff was completed last Saturday, with Scott Ireland and Richard Lowe winning in a hard fought contest with Don Bogg and Alan Piggott.

Dirkje Kingma

Dirkje Kingma has been a long term member.  I'm sure she won't mind me telling you her age (84 - but please don't mention it to her).  

Last Wednesday, Dirkje had an Eagle on the 14th hole.  She was about 80 metres out for two and holed out.  Pretty fantastic!  Golf is full of fantastic stories.

Club Championships

• Booking in this Thursday night for the first round.   Unlike past years, you will need to book in for each round independently (no multi-week booking).

• Please keep social distancing in mind - with any luck it will be a nice night to sit outside at the Club.

• Week 3 and 4 of the Championships will be qualifying for the Club Match Play Championship to be played next year at the start of February 2021.

• Week 1 of the Championships will be a medal round.  It will be the Camden Cup for both men and women, as well as the seniors over 55 tournament postponed due to COVID sponsored by Camden Tyre Service and Bob Zelesco.  After the golf on this day, the Club will be having finger food and a prize presentation out on the back deck area - all members are welcome to come along.

Women's Golf

Ladies Match Play for both Saturday and Wednesday are in full swing, and nearly winding up.  Wednesday 16th September saw the final of the Memorial Match Play which was between Wanda Kozinski and Janice Turner.  They were both all smiles and full of life after 18 holes, as I passed them at the turn, and watched them head back down the first all square.

Congratulations to Wanda Kozinski for taking it on the second.  From what I hear it was a nicely fought match!

The last 2 Saturdays has seen the Dunlop / Harding match play take place. 

First Round Results:

Patricia Gleeson and Maria Thorn defeated Candice Bell and Mindy Ross.  Chris Pettitt and Ange Toto defeated Margaret Poulton and Yvonne Day.  Bernadette Johnston and Pam Dilucchio defeated a solo Pam Scutts (well done Pam for heading out and giving it a go!)

Around the Course

• No preferred lies at the moment.  Members are asked to be tolerant of bad lies- particularly on 2nd, 10th and 18th.  As Club Captain Gary Hunt would say "golf isn't a fair game that's why we love it - how good is golf".

• Still problems with a sweeping magpie on the 8th tee and snakes around the course - be aware.

• Any member wishing to contribute information/stories to our Club history book, please contact Gary Hunt, Greg Matheson, Kim De Cean or Colleen Versluis
