Spring arrives at golf club

It's great to see spring has finally arrived, although the weather has been up and down the last couple of weeks.

Last week there weren't many golfers out and about, hence no report.

This week has been a different story with some great scores as well.

However, Tuesday was a small field of just 16 golfers.

Alex Scherini was 3rd with 32pts, Brad Grant was 2nd with 32pts also and the standout score for the day was 43pts by David Octigan to take the win.

Thursday was a mixed bag again with a big storm coming through around 3pm, which wasn't pleasant to be in.

A field of 52 players was good to see with a few of our members starting to return south after their winter holidays up north.

B grade saw James Tehan 3rd place with 37pts, Larry Ball was 2nd with 40pts and the score of the day was 45pts from Sam Bell.

A grade 3rd place was Rob Fankhauser with 36pts, Jamie Longstaff was 2nd with 37pts and Paul Lange came 1st with 37pts also.

The secret six went to Larry Ball, the Pro pin was won by Alan Eustace and the rabbits for the day were Adrian Cheer and Billy Moran.

Saturday was a good field of 60 players considering the footy finals were on.

Trev Williams was 3rd in B grade with 37pts, David McKenzie was 2nd with 37pts and Jack Clydesdale was 1st with 38pts.

A grade 3rd place was Brendan Egan with 33pts, 2nd place was Adrian Costantini with 33pts also and Marl Jones had a great score of 2 under the card 39pts.

Mark also had an Eagle on the par five 13th hole.

Maurie Walsh won the Pro pin on the 3rd hole.

Coming up on the 20th September is the Monthly Medal proudly sponsored by IGA Mansfield, 27th September Grand Final day three person Ambrose 9am shotgun start, then we will try again for the Captains Day with a four club challenge shotgun start at 12.30 pm on the 4th October.

Don't forget to enter your teams for the Mansfield Golf League as well with teams of six people and the three best scores each week taken.

Happy hitting.
