The Foursomes Championships, a game that tests friendships, marriages and more importantly our ability to play shots from places on the course we have never been to before. There was even reports of a double air shot by one poor pairing. Some champagne will be drunk in the Marxsen household tonight after Raelee Marxsen and Joanie Milton claimed the Gross Championship by 8 shots from runners up Kasee Marxsen and Michelle Marsden. In the Nett the mother and daughter pairing of Janet and Jackie Beer (106.5) held off runners up new Captain Marg Taylor and smiling Wendy Sturwohld (who never forgets to put her lippy on for photos) to win the Nett Championship by less than 3 shots. Please don’t be too concerned about the photographs, our Ladies are not being attacked by a plant but our photographer had just been watching Day Of The Triffids 🙂 Well done to all who completed the 27 holes and were still on speaking terms with their partners.

The threat of rain meant a few fair weather golfers decided not to play in Saturday’s Monthly Medal. However, it didnt prevent 28 stalwart golfers from competing. With the help of a birdie on the 13th Joanie Milton won the coveted shirt with a Nett 72 in Div 1, beating Robyn Robinson by 1 – I bet you’re rueing that 8 on the 12th Robyn!! In Div 2 Allison Jackson raced round as usual recording an excellent Nett 68 to win her 2nd shirt by 5 shots from Amanda Elder. Putting Queen for the month was Del Hartfiel with 25 putts. Photos are action shots because my wife forgot to take photos of the winners 🙂 Come back Chris, all is forgiven.

Well it is all over for another year and we have 3 new Club Champions to celebrate. In A Grade Isabella Artcheua won by a massive 25 shots from Michelle Marsden. In B Grade Ros Savidge came from nowhere to pass the round 3 leaders and win by 5 from Robyn Edgar, with overnight leader Carolyn suffering from nerves. In C Grade it was all wrapped up after three rounds really with Leone “The Bullet” Collins easing home by 22 shots from Lady Pen. The Nett results were not quite as straight forward, and after some scores being adjusted due to administrative issues, there had to be changes to the winners announced at the Presentation. A Grade Nett winner was last year’s club champion Joanie Milton on 298 pipping Julie Burton by 2. In B Grade Jill Serra sneaked home by the narrowest of margins to edge out Sallie Wake by 1, both coming from behind to pass the overnight leaders. In C Grade Shirley Leacy, playing her first championships won with 310 from another championship debutant Julie Kuorikoski. Congratulations to all the ladies who played out the 4 rounds, that in itself it a great achievement. I bet you all cant wait for next year !!!! The Gross and Nett results are available here.
