April Captain’s Report
Monthly Medal
Congratulations to Craig Stevens for winning April’s Monthly Medal. Craig had a terrific front nine, making the turn net 5 under which included 2 birdies. The back nine started well also, with a birdie on the tenth before a stumble on 13, 14 and 16 with double bogies on these holes. A birdie on 17 helped steady the ship and a par to finish was enough to seal the victory by 1 shot.
Pennant
GREAT NEWS. Our handicap 2 team has made the Grand Final. With Sunday’s Semi Final being washed out, the team has progressed to the final, courtesy of finishing on top of the ladder. I would like to encourage all members to come and support to help the guys get over the line. The final is being played at Mirboo North this Sunday the 23rd April commencing at 9:00. If anyone coming to support would like transport, please contact myself or Randall and we will organise that for you.
Cuthbertson Mixed Canadian Foursomes
This year it was decided to place our Annual Tournament on hiatus, however we have kept the Cuthbertson Mixed Canadian Foursomes as a stand alone event. This event is on ANZAC Day and there are still spots available for anyone wishing to participate. It is a shotgun start at 12:00 and costs $30 per pair which includes afternoon tea.
Drouin Family Hotel Challenge
The 2023/24 Drouin Family Hotel Challenge commenced in March and is now 2 rounds in. Craig Stevens is leader courtesy of his win last Saturday, with March Monthly Medal winner Rhys Rata in 2nd Place. Tristan Ashby currently occupies 3rd Place. This competition runs on every monthly medal and club championship round until the final round of next year’s club championship.
Thanks to the Drouin Family Hotel for their generous contribution to this event.
Drouin Premier League
The Drouin Premier League kicked off last Saturday with some close games. Full results are available on the link posted below and on the notice board inside the clubhouse.
Drouin Garfield Challenge
The Drouin/Garfield Challenge was played on the 25th March at Garfield. We sent 19 players down and unfortunately Garfield was too strong on the day, winning convincingly with an average score of 31.9 to 26.8.
Golf West Gippsland Championships
The Golf West Gippsland Championships were held at Trafalgar on 19th March. The club had great success with Ryan Hammond taking out the West Gippsland Men’s Championship as well as the Champion of Champions and Shirley Roberts winning the Women’s Club Championship. We also had winners in B Grade with Peter Daniel winning the Morning Handicap Competition and myself winning the Afternoon Handicap.
Foursomes Championship
Saturday 13th May will see the annual Foursomes Championships. This event will see both Scratch and Handicap winners being awarded prizes.
I will leave you with this
