ANGLESEA GOLF CLUB WE HAD cold, windy and wet conditions this week and it started on Monday for the Ocean Spray Bowl. At least the ladies were able to stay dry but they have to contend with the wind and cold. The team from Kew took the Bowl home with some players being familiar with the course. Entry forms are now out for the Anglesea Surf Club Charity Day. The event is on August 10 with a shotgun start at 10.30am and a 4 ball format. Entry forms are on the web site and the cost to members is $25 and $50 for visitors. Bookings are still being taken for the Joe Camilleri events on July 19 and 20, as well as the President’s and Captain’s Dinner the following week on July 27. Details for both are on the web site.

medal was a tie between Ann Stokes in Division 1 and Beatrice Stephens in Division 3 – both ladies scored nett 77 and will playoff next month. Helen Stewart won Division 2 with nett 78. Ann Stokes also scored the best gross and Dot Hermann had a great putting round with only 28 putts to win that competition. NTP winners were Margot Parton, Lyn Thompson and your scribe.

Wednesday was Stableford for the men and they had the windy conditions for the week, before the cold and wet set in. The best score for the day was from Peter Hester in C Grade with 40 points. Geoff Lewtas won B Grade with 38 points on a count-back from Rob McDonald, Director Les Cooper won A Grade with 37 points and Eddie Brenner won the seniors with 32 points. NTP winners were Dave Woods, Uwe Morzinek, John Milton and Brent McDonald who actually scored a hole in one on the 13th for his NTP. The ladies had their monthly medal on Thursday and it was only the late starters that didn’t keep dry – though everyone was cold. The
The men played their medal on Saturday and had to contend with all the elements. Mario Tutone was the best for the day scoring 39 points to win the medal and A Grade. Hugh Pearce won C Grade with 38 points and Ray Heathcote won B Grade with 35 points on a count-back from Peter Parfitt. The ladies scores were quite a bit off the pace with Deg Hume having the best score with 29 points. NTP winners were Leigh Heazlewood, Errol Hutchesson, Paul Statham and John McLachlan, and Andrew Daffy scored an eagle on the 8th hole. It was a very small field on Sunday with many deciding to spend the day in front of a nice warm fire – I wish I’d done that! Richard Hammett was the best for the men with scoring 3 up, and Hugh Pearce was runner up with square. For the ladies Vida Brenner won with square and Claire Brennan was the next best with 1 down. NTP winners were Colin Foster, Claire Brennan, Lyn Macvean and Ross Duff. Enjoy your golf.
THE Torquay Golf Club once again hosted this month’s round of the vets/seniors competition and although quite a few of our members are away soaking up the sun in Queensland or enjoying that overseas holiday, it was still a strong field vying for the money. Ken Ballard stood out for the men this month, scoring 22 points for the 9 holes, while for the ladies it was Carole Mayne. The NTP winners were Mary Sweet and Ken Ballard. Congratulations to our ladies’ committee last week on a triumphant community services day held on Tuesday. Of course our lady members helped contribute more than just money, they donated their time to help with the stall, and they also donated prizes for raffles and items to sell. We thank them all on a wonderful effort which helped to raise $1000 each for their nominated three local charities. We also invited many other clubs to come and play, and by all accounts it was worth the visit as they spent up big on all the goodies. Thank you to all of those ladies that donated their time to make the day a huge success. It was not the only event on the day as the Irish 4BBB Stableford was also up for grabs, and the winning score of 113 went to the team of Linda Delandre, Maxine Flakemore, Marion Lyne and Kerin Galbally. NTPs to Karen Lindmayer (Queens Park GC), Barbara Delmenico (Ballarat GC) and Lyn (SWD). Frances Fraser (Ballarat GC)

Also with a good score was Lynne Hyett with 36 points to take the runner-up prize. A group of six ladies from Murray Downs played in the daily competition. A good day was had by the visitors especially Shelley Wilkins who strode to the 13th tee with her 7 iron in hand and hit the sweetest shot up the hill. After several minutes of looking for her ball it was suggested that she look in the hole and guess what: there it was. Congratulations, Shelley, on your hole in one.

PORTARLINGTON GOLF CLUB ANOTHER week has passed and for many of us that means another week of the usual - Tuesday or Wednesday golf, a bit of shopping, housework, the garden, a bit of TV and golf on Saturday and an outing with the family or visiting on Sunday, then, on to the next week. For some of your members at the club it has been a busy time. They have had their run of meetings all looking forward to the running of the Carnival of Golf. Entry forms have been designed to meet our needs. Printing was completed and much of the posting of entries to interested parties has been mailed. One meeting in full swing was to ensure the course is in top shape, another was developing a list of jobs for our volunteers to cover all the requirements of running a big carnival so that we best meet the needs of our members and visitors. Yet another group met to discuss the social aspects of the club and to examine how we are performing. The meals at the Bistro have been excellent and the front of house staff look great in their club uniform and perform their tasks with pleasant good humour. The bar staff has been on the ball and provide an interesting commentary on the raffles and the member’s draws on Wednesday and Friday club nights. We would love your contribution in any form. The size of your effort is not critical, what matters is that you did at least contribute!
