ANOTHER glorious week of weather for the golfers at Mansfield, although a little fresh early in the mornings and a good drop of rain on Tuesday. Sunday saw our pennant sides front up for the first round on Sunday with the Scratch team going down to Wodonga 3 ½ to 1 ½ in a tight battle at Yarrawonga. Division two were unlucky to go down 4/1 to Benalla at Myrtleford. Tuesday saw a field of 39 front the starters for a two person ambrose off the gold tees and the winners on the day were John Koraus and Peter Smiles with a great score of 57.75. Second was Brad Grant and Taki Murakami with 58.50 and third place went to Mike Irwin and Alex Scherini with 61.25. Thursday had a field of 56 players with the winner being Shaun Wade with a great score of 37 points playing off his lowest handicap ever of three, on a countback from Alex Scherini also 37 points and Jarrod Heath was third with a fine 35 points off a handicap of 6. B grade was won by Ross Vaughan with 36 points and Perrin Gooding still showing good recent form with 35 points in second and third place was Larry Ball with 34 on a countback. Saturday was the March Monthly Medal proudly sponsored by Mansfield Foodworks and there were 47 starters. The Medalist for March was young Jack Marks with a great score of nett 68, well done Jack; I think we will be seeing a few more good wins in future years. A grade was won by Kyle Bridgeman with one under par for the day on a countback from John Koraus also nett 70 and third was Micheal Cooksey with 72 nett. B grade was won by Jack Marks with Tyson Pollard second with a nett 72 and Nate Longstaff with nett 73. A big thankyou to Foodworks for there on going support and vouchers on the day. The J.D.Perks scratch was won by Kyle Bridgeman.
