Monthly Medal
Congratulations to Bruce Rawlings who won December’s Monthly Medal. A steady start from Bruce saw him nett 1 over after 9 holes. A par on 11 saw him nett 1 under before a stumble on the 12th. From there it was clear sailing and with a birdie on 17, saw Bruce finish with nett 68 and win the Medal on a 5 way count back.
Albatross
The 7th Hole has produced it’s 3rd Albatross in as many years, visitor Matt Smith from Woorayl achieved this feat in the Wednesday competition round.
Drouin/Garfield Challenge
The annual Drouin/Garfield Challenge is at Garfield next year on Saturday 18th January. We have never won this challenge on their turf, so if you would like to be part of history and be in the first team to do this, please place your name on the sheet on the notice board.
Match Play Championships
Thanks to all those who have organised and/or played their preliminary matches. The final for all Match Play grades is on January 11th.
Family Hotel Challenge
Bob Simpson still holds onto top spot in the Family Hotel Challenge, Mark Gould slightly narrowed the gap but is still 175 points behind. Glenn Vanderligt, Rob Frederickson and Bob Naismith round out the top 5. Full Leaderboard is on the club’s website and on the noticeboard inside the clubrooms.
Premier League
The Premier League Final is to be played this Saturday, between the 2023 Premiers FOFO and newcomers The Handicappers. Best of luck to both teams.
That’s all for now and I’ll leave you with this quote from Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, Hank Aaron.
“It took me seventeen years to get three thousand hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.”
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Glenn Robinson
Captain
