Extra effort exerted at Warburton Golf Club



The V.V.V’s:

Hooooray, we had a comp this week. Six multi-talented, eager girls took to the front nine with great gusto. And the most gusto belonged to Deborah Hamment, who grabbed the top prize with 17 well-compiled points. Great work, Deb. Georgie Houliet took out second place, on a countback, with 15 ‘smooth-as-saffron’ points. Well done, Ms. Houniet. There were no NTPs won.

Wednesday 2 October, Stroke and the M. McGrann ‘Bag Day’ qualifier:

Stroke is such a demanding comp, where one bad hole can leave you ending up in the middle of the field when you could have won. 18 consistent holes is required, and with no bad hole to spoil his card, Andy Lockey took home the spoils, by posting a brilliant Nett 65. No bad holes there Andy, well done. This day’s runner-up was the recently-consistent Josh Hin, with a pleasing Nett 67. Young tyro Angus Hall came in third with a par-equalling Nett 69 ( Watch out Dad, I think you need to get out and practice if you don’t want to be overrun). Balls reached Nett 74. NTPs were taken out by Ian Garside (3rd and 9th, a warm welcome back Junior), Seth Spenceley (6th and 15th) and Dale Horrobin (12th).

Saturday 5 October, Stroke and Monthly Medal:

With a medal on the line, most of the field puts in that extra bit of effort to grab one. The extra, extra effort displayed by Peter Fox was more than enough to grab the spoils. Peter posted a very impressive Nett 66, to take home the top voucher and the Medal. Good work Foxy. Warburton Golf Club’s most-improved lady golfer Georgie Houniet grabbed the runner-up prize with a Nett 68, showing just how hard she is working on her game. Well done Georgie. Sam Dennis grabbed the third voucher with a solid Nett 69. Balls only reached down to 71 ( on a countback). The available NTPs went home with Luke Patrick (3rd), Dale Sund (2nd shot on the 6th), Noel Cross (9th), Jason Kennedy (12th) and Michael Pinkster (15th).
