On Wednesday 4 October there was no golf due to the rainstorm that hit us the day before but…
Thursday 5 October, Twilight:
The commencement of the very popular 2023-24 Twilight season began on time but, clearly on a damp course. We played the back nine as it was deemed to be drier than the front. And, it was surprisingly playable, considering that we had just endured 96mm. of precipitation during that rainstorm. A healthy field of 46 members played on this day, and new member, Pacey Luttgens easily posted the best 9-hole score, amassing a very impressive 24 points. This blitzed the field because Geoff Fall’s very handy 20 points were only good enough to take home the runner-up prize. Balls extended to 16 points. The 2 NTP winners were Pacey Luttgens (12th) and Clint Toohey (12th).
Saturday 7 October, Stroke and Monthly Medal:
With both the weather and the course conditions improving rapidly, the winning results were always going to impress. And, the most impressive result posted on the day, came from the in-form Joshua Hin, who took home the top voucher and the Medal with a nett 62, very impressive indeed. Geoff Sharp had the other excellent result this day with a Nett 65 a result that would have won the medal on most other days. With this low scoring, the ball giveaway only reached Nett 70! There wasn’t even a full complement of NTP winners, because, as often happens, the tough 5th beat the field of 40+. The successful NTP winners were as follows: Spenceley Senior (3rd), Peter Fox (9th), David Hatt (12th) and one of our welcome Rosebud guests, Jack Pilgrim (15th).
