Sunday golf at Roxby Sunday, February 29, 2004 saw a great field of 21 golfers out on the Roxby Downs Course. The conditions were perfect for some good rounds. As it is very close to our opening day on March 13, 2004, most golfers used this as their preparation for the upcoming season. A 9 hole stableford was the competition for the day, Dougal Macleod on 23 points was the winner of the day closely followed by Mark Dillon 22 points and Roger Scholfield 21 points. Joel Roberts also deserves a mention for his 20 points. The novelties for the day were, closest to the pin on the fourth hole, Brenton Waye. Closest second shot on the par four, sixth hole, Dougal Macleod resulting in an eagle. Handicap reductions: D MacLeod 2.5, M Dillon 2, R Scholfield 1.5, J Roberts 1 and B Richards 0.5. The Golf Club thanks all those who played on Sunday and are looking forward to seeing all golfers out on the course when the 2004/2005 season starts. A change in weather brought out the golfers at Roxby Downs Golf Club on Sunday. 20 players played in a stroke event, with some very good scores. Andrew Wellington in the last group on the course won the day, with a nett 32.5, in doing so though, the handicapper slashed 2.5 off his handicap. Kerrin (Bunny) Dryburgh was runner-up, with an equally good nett 33. Tony Holbrook kept slashing more off his handicap, with a nett 33.5 and only one over par (37 off the stick) to take out 3rd. Tony Jordan came 4th, with nett 34 and closely followed behind was Robert (Tubby) Gray and Col Fraser with nett 34.5. The novelty went to Bunny, longest drive on the No. 9. We also had two junior golfers, Simon Gray and Rian Shields playing on the day. The Golf Club encourages any other juniors to come and play. Next Sunday’s game will be a Stabeford comp. starting at 7.30 am, hopefully with cooler conditions.

Phil wins Woomera bowls singles championships The Woomera RSL and Bowling League held its Club Singles Championships on the weekend of the 31st of January. The tournament commenced at 10am with bowls polished, the green manicured, bowlers resplendent and the weather smiling for was sure to be a day of fierce full competition. Graham Finch, Tournament Director, drew all names from the hat for the first round and then it was on for the mornings matches delivering expected results. The obligatory barbecue lunch was served at 1.30 with full compliments to Bernie Curtain and helpers. As the afternoon continued many were looking for a cool place to hide
to avoid the afternoon heat, some even opted for a cold shower to enhance performance. However, at the end of the day after some 105-bowled ends there can only be one winner, Phil Whitworth narrowly defeated Frank Woolfe 2118 after another marathon game to take the 2004 Championship trophy, well done Phil. The President would like to thank all those involved with the day, Graham Finch, Tony Place, Jeremy Croft, Neil Brokensha, Rick Phillips and Bernie Curtain. And thanks to the photographer on the day – Michaela Finch. Frank Woolfe, Woomera Sports Reporter.
