(By Course Language)
Last weekend was the first round of the singles knock-out for the men. There were some very close matches played with most of them coming down to the last couple of holes. The draw has been done for the last 5 remaining in the event and the second round is due to be played this weekend.
The winner last weekend on a countback from Luke Kelly was Richard Gallagher with 34 points. One notable mention goes to our Captain Matt Clarke with a Birdie on the second hole sponsored by Beaurepaires.
The “Nearest The Pins” were: The Donald Auto Elec 3rd, Richard Gallagher; Weirs IGA 7th, Brad Bath; Nufarm 14th, Brad Bath; Bendigo Bank 16th, Richard Gallagher.
A couple of notable golfers returning on the weekend were Andrew Bayles and Robert Burton. Andrew has had a lengthy break from golf due to work and other sporting commitments, but his first up form was impressive, with his score being better than some of the regulars. After touring Australia for the last year Robert’s form was also none too shabby. Pleased to have you back if only while you plan your next adventure.
Thanks to those who helped “patch” the track at the races last Saturday. It’s very much appreciated, as the money goes towards our whole club.
Last Sunday was May the 4th, and as such the date has the reference to the Star Wars saying of “May the force (fourth) be with you”. Well Richard Gallagher was certainly in the zone, using his Jedi intuition to dodge golf balls coming at him from all directions. The first one missed him by a good three feet but second was only centimetres from knocking him off his buggy. Better luck next time “Hoges”. The drinks will be free all night if you’re successful next time.

Only three veterans did manoeuvres on Thursday with Luke Kelly the winner. Great to see Major General John Howley back out there to instruct the younger brigade.
Coming Up
