NAGAMBIE GOLF CLUB

WINTER kept at it after the previous two Sundays were rain affected.
The Nagambie players were greeted with a winter wonderland of thick frost and temperatures below zero.
But, as always, a beautiful day followed the frost, allowing players to score freely in the day’s Stableford event.
The winning golfer was Rod Wilson on 39 points.
Wilson piped his drives and drained putts in putting together a red hot score in the cold conditions.
Runner up was Hugh Lawrence, posting a one better than handicap result of 37.
Lawrence’s smooth action assisted with the good scoring on the day.
Third place went to a fresh and ready-to-go Phil Neville, who completed his round with 36 points.
The nearest the pin prizes went to the day’s winner Rod Wilson at the third.
Dan Maguire hit the dance floor on the long eighth, and Andrew Molyneaux fired off an accurate iron into the 13th.
Next week’s golf is a sponsored event: The Gary Bow Foursomes.
Members are asked to organise a partner before the event.
Tee-off is from 9am to 9.30am, with G. Bow on office duty and G. Cusack in the bar.

JUNE Monthly Medal round, played as a stroke event from the back tees.
Once again, blue skies and sunshine greeted players, although there was a nip in the air.
Numbers fell just short of qualifying for two grades.
Some excellent scores were recorded, particularly by Dave Fullager and Dale Smith, who both finished with 69 net.
A countback was required, and Dave came out on top to claim the Monthly Medal and daily competition voucher.
Dale had to settle for runner up, no doubt ruing a disappointing back nine finish.
The ladies’ medal was won by Dhana Furlanetto, who had a strong round, finishing under her handicap with a fine 72 net.
Line balls were awarded to Kev Fiorini (72) and Dhana (72).
Only two nearest the pin prizes were claimed - Mark Hannigan on the eighth, and Kev on the 14th.
Drive and pitch winners were Terry Lowis on the seventh and Matt Eddy on the 17th.
Matt also collected a ball for the least putts with 24.
The Imperial Hotel voucher was won by Lyn Carracher.
Saturday, 29 June will be a Stableford event from the red and blue tees.
Good golfing to all.
EUROA GOLF CLUB

MATT Mills' plus one handicap made his round the equivalent of three under par and made him the clear winner in Division One, while another up and coming junior golfer, Alex Burton, recorded a massive 41 points to win Division Two.
Balls down the line went to Richard Johnson (38), Dale McIntosh (37), Brendan Redfern, and Ian Horwood (33), and Dick Farmer and Matt Mills each made a two ball birdie.
Nearest the pins went to Charlie Walker, Dick Farmer, Brendan Redfern, and Dan Murphy.
Brendan Redfern’s shot on the par three, 12th finished just centimetres from the hole after hitting the flag stick, denying him a hole in one.
BD Electrics were the sponsors for the day.
Thirty-two players enjoyed perfect conditions.
The clubhouse came to life after golf on Saturday evening, with the Eurockafellas band entertaining the crowd.
The club gratefully appreciates the support of the band members, who again supported this popular fundraising event.
