The club again extends its thanks to the Winter Classic sponsors - Riverina Watermatic, Cleaner Carpets, MRT Spraying and Nutrien Ag Solutions.
It was a great weekend with excellent fields; the forced change to a fourball aggregate certainly did not deter anyone from taking part.
Last Thursday the ladies played their monthly medal, with in-form Virginia Lange taking the A grade trophy with net 73 on countback from Shandra Simpson, and Annette Danckert winning B grade also with net 73, from Rae Lawrence 74.
In Wednesday’s stableford event the A grade winner with 39 points was Leigh Chappell, from consistent Jimmy Poka jnr on 37, in B grade Norm Purtill had a day out to score 40 points, defeating Albert Liebenberg 37, and in C grade David Grant had 36 to score by two points from Gary Brant.
Tomorrow is the Central IGA Monthly Medal and Sunday is mixed fourball best ball and qualifying round for the Nisbet knock-out.
An enthusiastic group ensured the COVID-19 restrictions were followed last Friday night and enjoyed the raffles and an excellent meal from our resident chef. If you plan to attend the club tonight, don’t forget that registration is required and meal bookings are preferred.
