Clearer conditions return to Warburton Golf Club



The Monday V.V.V’s:

Although we had less than enough playing on this day, for a club-comp. it should still be noted that a couple of the Girls returned very healthy back-nine results. Vicki had 18 points, with a scratch by the way (those lessons are clearly helping) and Annalies also performed well posting a 17-point result. Well done, Ladies.

Wednesday 23 October, Par:

With a smaller field than usual, due to a number of members being involved in Master’s-Pennant matches, the odds of winning with a decent score were shortened. A decent result certainly came in from Dale Horrobin, who posted a +4 result. Great shooting Dale. Robert Ferguson continues his consistent form with a +3 to grab the runner-up voucher. The 3rd prize went to Mr.Hendy, with a +2. RJH has found a rare vein of form recently, so well done Robert. Balls, in the smallish field, went down only to -1. NTP daily winners were: Trevor Porter (3rd), Ian ‘Junior’ Garside (9th), Matt Maloney (lovely 2nd shot on the 10th), Merilyn McDonald (12th) and David Mackey (15th).

Twilight:

Wow, some good scores on this day. Two rounds of 21 points led the field; so on a countback, young Matthew Maloney took the honours over his regular playing partner, Brayden Millar. Both scores are well worth a hearty pat on the back. Good shooting boys. With the big field of 50+, the balls extended to 18. The 3 NTP winners were as follows: Josh Hin (for a very accurate second shot on the 1st), Shane ‘Bomber’ Campbell (3rd) and Danny Fox (9th).

Saturday 26 October, Stableford:

Under clear skies, in near-perfect conditions for playing good golf, Michael Eldridge played near-perfect golf to post a great 39-point score. Good shooting, Father Michael and bragging rights, note, Patricia. Dale Sund took home the runner-up voucher, with an impressive 38 points. Winning Master’s Pennant Captain Peter Whitehead came in 3rd, posting a 36-point result. Good job, Captain. The ball rundown got down to 33 only. NTPs went to Tim McKail (3rd), Jason Kennedy (9th), Paul Osbourne had a good day snaring 2 NTPs on the 10th (2nd shot) and the 12th. Great shooting, Ossie. Finally, on the 15th, Geoff Sharp hit a great tee-shot.
