There hasn't been a lot to cover in the last two weeks due to some very ordinary weather at long last. It's great to see some rain and snow, which will help the local economy and the golf course. Some exciting new junior players are starting to blossom in the game of golf, especially over the school holiday break. These young men are always at the club practising and playing comps when they can. Jack Clydesdale, Mitch Clarke and Jay Kynnersly seem to be the standouts at the moment, with a few others not far behind. They have had some very good scores lately and are losing shots on their handicaps quickly. Keep up the good work, you guys. I am looking forward to watching them progress in the future. The green staff have been doing a great job of late with many winter jobs getting done. Al Bennett has been the standout over the last couple of weeks. Keep up the good work, fellas. Tuesday was a small field of 28 players. The placegetters were, in 3rd place, Mick Patti with 35 pts, Adrian Cheer 2nd with 37 pts, and Jack Clydesdale with 37 pts also, taking the win. Thursday we had 52 in the field, which gives us two grades. In B Grade, 3rd place went to Perrin Gooding with 35 pts, 2nd was Chris Purcell with 36 pts, and 1st place went to Mitch Clarke with 40 pts. In A Grade, 3rd place went to Paul Lange with 36 pts, 2nd place was Brendan Egan with 38 pts, and 1st place was Jack Clydesdale with a great 41 pts. The Secret Six was won by James Tehan. The pro pin went to Geoff Brown, and the rabbits were Adrian Cheer and Ray Findlay. Saturday was a small field of 35 players for a game of Par. The winners for the day were, in 3rd place, Paul Lange with +1, Ken Neale 2nd with +1 also, and 1st place went to Jack Clydesdale with +2. Next Saturday is the July Monthly Medal sponsored by the golf club pro shop. Happy hitting.
