KERANG
CONDITIONS were perfect for the second round of the Ladies Championships.
Winner of the day was Lorraine Bray with an amazing 95(29) 66 net.
Runner up was Rhonda Willoughby who after a shaky start finished with 94(23) 71 net.
Olive Spitty won the putting competition with 28 putts.
Nearest the pin on the 9th was won by Jan Harry.
Some who scored good rounds last week had tree and water issues causing them to lose some ground.
The A grade leader is Olive Spitty who played a very consistent game, followed by Michelle Dillon.
The B grade leaders are Jean Youl with Deaniee Henderson 1 shot behind.
C grade is led by Lorraine Bray with Chrissy Downs 2 strokes behind.
It will be an exciting 3rd and final round next week.
Starting time is 9.30am for 10am and the day will finish with presentations and afternoon tea.
For the Kerang Annual Tournament 2021 held November 18, our 4 Ball was sponsored by Choice Cut Butchers and The Beauty Dust, and had a good roll up of golfers to compete for the prizes.
John Murphy (21) & Tony Laughlin (10) won the day with a score of 43 points, runner up was Allan Free (17) and Doug Ellwood (21) on 41pts.
The Ladies’ winners were Lorraine Bray (27) and Jen Waterson (16) on 41 pts and runner ups Rhonda Willoughby (22) and Geraldine Kennedy (37) on 40 on c/b from Ruth McAllister (21) and Mandy Ackland (24).
Nearest the pins went to no one on the 3rd, Doug Meehan 5th, Rob Fabry 9th, Jen Waterson 13th and Don Ross on the 16th.
The Pat McKnight Trophy was on Saturday November 20, and our major tournament of the year sponsored by Halls Home Hardware was won again by Andrew Spitty (+3) who had a great round of 3 under par 68 off the stick.
Andrew started off really well, being 3 under after 6 holes but after that only had one birdie and one bogie for the rest of his round.
He had to settle for a 68.
Runner up was Chris Waterson (2) with 78 and the handicap winners were Dave Gray with a 70 nett and runner up Ned Pay with 71 nett.
In B grade, Greg McNeil (20) had a blinder with an 86 off the stick to win by a street from Ken Williams (19) on 91.
In the handicap section the winner was Ron Schultze (24) with 73 and R/up David Stubbs (26) on 74.
Ladies second round of the Les Jobling Shield was won by Michelle Dillon (8) 38 pts.
Place getters in the Les Jobling Shield after 2 rounds are Jen Waterson (16) 69 pts, Olive Spitty (5) 68 and Michelle Dillon on 65, so anyone of those 3 can still win.
Saturday also incorporated our second round of club championships.
The leader, Andrew Spitty has a 17 shot lead over Chris Waterson which will be hard but not impossible for Chris to do.
In B Grade, it’s a close tussle with John Hewitt 1 shot in front of Peter Hall, who is 2 shots in front of Scott Harry.
So again it’s anyone’s game there.
C Grade Greg McNeil with his blinder this day, has an 11 shot lead over Casey Gillen and Ken Williams is now only 1 shot behind Casey.
Nearest the pins were Doug Meehan on the 3rd and 13th.
Doug Ellwood 5th, Kevin Sambrooks on the 9th and Andrew Spitty on the 16th.
On Sunday was the 3 Person Ambrose.
Woolworths sponsored this event and it turned into a family affair when Tony Laughlin with wife Rosie and Daughter Ang won with 68 – 10.3 = 57.7.
Second place was a group of 4, John Murphy, David Stubbs, Jordan Simpson and Brad Short, and third place was Doug Meehan, Chris Gray and Bronwyn Good.
Nearest the line on the 4th for Men was Andrew Spitty and for Ladies Michelle Dillon, and longest drives went to Brad Short and Michelle Dillon.
Nearest the pins were Andrew Spitty on 3rd and 16th, Olive Spitty 5th, Luke Hadfield 9th and Doug Meehan 13th again.
Doug Meehan also won the money for nearest the pin on 13th for the entire tournament at 2.4 metres.
COHUNA
DUE to some mismanagement on my behalf, I don’t actually have a record of last Thursday’s R&R event, so I’m doing this from memory.
That being what it is, apologies for any omissions or inaccuracies!
Having said that, I am very sure that the winner on the day was Alan Moloney from Gary Yates who was split on countback from John Power.
John also took home a couple of NTP’s on the day as well
I do have the official results for Saturday and Sunday!
If you haven’t heard already (which would be very surprising) Dennis Griffiths had a personal best round on Saturday, breaking 80 for the first time and claiming the day with 42 points!
Well done Dennis!
You needed a good score to win the day as Bill Innes sored 39 points, Murray Hall 38 and John Power 37.
NTP’s went to Adam Jackson, Mitch O’Dwyer, Tony Hopwood and Kevin Crane.
Sunday’s event went to Rhys Bradley with an excellent 40 points then a trio of 37’s for Peter Rigbye, Greg Earle and Peter Toogood.
Mens’ NTP’s went to Greg Earle, Liam Pascoe, Shaun Corry and Rhys Bradley.
The Ladies’ winner was Sandra Hancock, and Linda Moloney was NTP on 17.
