Smaller field as weather and the footy deter Warburton golfers

Warburton Golf Club results. (File)

The V.V.V’s:

There was a total of 5 intrepid ladies playing on this Monday and all the girls had productive rounds, so well done (The club will actually have a competition next Monday, as more than 6 are booked in).

Wednesday 25 September, Par:

This day was decidedly damp folks, yet 30+ brave souls completed their 18 holes (If I had my way, all of those who completed their round would have earned a ball, as my group ‘pulled up stumps’ on the 15th, being thoroughly soaked). This makes Rob Ferguson’s result very impressive because with a +4 he blitzed the field by some 5 shots. You certainly earned your voucher this week, Fergie. Trevor Porter was the runner-up with a -1, and George-Brown’s -2 was good enough for him to take home the third-place prize. Balls, not surprisingly, extended to -4. NTP winners were as follows: Andrew McMath (3rd), Danny Fox (9th), Kenny White (12th), David Mackey (15th) and from the result of a great second shot, George Brown won the 17th hole prize.

Saturday 28 September, Stableford:

Clearly there must have been plenty of Swannies and Lions supporters staying home because only a smallish field contested this day’s comp. But, even so, there was a winner, in the name of Dale Sund, who accrued 39 impressive points. But as good as this score was, Dale only won after a countback from David ‘Pup’ Lever. Well done to both boys. Noel Cross grabbed the third prize with 37 points, making up for his beloved Cats not being in the big game. Balls reached all the way down to 32. NTPs went to Joel Coombs (1st), Paul Osbourne ( 3rd), Crossey (9th), Tim McKail (12th) and Peter Fox (15th).

An extra Club comp was also conducted on the Public Holiday Friday. Chris Leighton won this day with 41 superb points. Peter Whitehead was the runner-up posting 39 good points. If you scored 33+ on this day, you can claim a ball. NTPs were won by Ossie ( on both the 1st and the 9th, good shooting Paul), Warragul guest Leigh Lambert (3rd) and old mate Ken White (15th).
