The Monday V.V.Vs: <\/p>\n
With numbers improving every week, the Monday comp is really heating up. <\/p>\n
But, on this day, the weather won. <\/p>\n
With strong winds and regular showers, the ladies decided that the V.V.V. event could wait for another week.<\/p>\n
Wednesday 24 September, Stableford:<\/p>\n
Although still putting up with occasional showers sweeping across our course, the field on this day did have better conditions to contend with than the V.V.V. girls on Monday. <\/p>\n
The most efficient contender was clearly one of our early birds, Ross Machar, who matched his handicap with 36 solid points. <\/p>\n
Ross only won the top voucher after a tight countback was needed to separate him from Ian Garside. <\/p>\n
The last three holes of Junior\u2019s round could not quite edge out Ross. <\/p>\n
The next best was P.K. with 35 points. <\/p>\n
Balls reached down to 32. <\/p>\n
There were four separate NTP winners, they being Trev Porter (third), Dale Horrobin (fifth), Kevin Bargar (ninth) and to Merilyn Macdonald (12th). <\/p>\n
Friday, 26 September, Stableford: <\/p>\n
The Grand Final public holiday comp attracted a bigger field than the field who played on the actual day with 40 plus members attending. <\/p>\n
On this day, Yering visitor, Angus Nelson, performed just as efficiently as the Lions did a day later. <\/p>\n
A whopping 45 points earned Angus the B Grade voucher. <\/p>\n
The A-Grade prize went to Rob Ferguson with 39 solid points. <\/p>\n
The daily runner up was Jordie Burge, also amassing 39 points. <\/p>\n
With these results being posted, balls only reached down to 35 points. <\/p>\n
With such a strong field, it was no surprise that all five NTPs on offer were claimed. <\/p>\n
They went to Chris C, Dale Sund (fifth), Junior Lever (ninth), Clint Toohey (12th) and to Commissioner Macdonald (15th). <\/p>\n
Saturday 27 September, PAR:<\/p>\n
Well, folks, with another healthy field, (nearly 40) and there were always going to be some top scores posted. <\/p>\n
Finishing in the \u201cplusses\u201d is always a real challenge in these events, but our most consistent junior, Manny Humphris, seemed to relish that challenge, recording a fine plus three. <\/p>\n
The upside to this win is that young Manny won\u2019t be seen bragging about that fine effort because he\u2019s also a modest, quiet and likeable young member. <\/p>\n
Great work, Manny. <\/p>\n
Charly Cochrane was the day\u2019s runner up, with an equally impressive plus two. <\/p>\n
The rundown of balls reached minus one only on a countback. <\/p>\n
There were two of our members who won dual NTPs, a rare occurrence too. <\/p>\n
They were the ever talented Clint Toohey (third and fifth) and David \u201cPup\u201d Lever (ninth and 12th). <\/p>\n
The only other NTP on offer (the 15th) went to Gary Vollmer who incidentally nearly holed out at this notoriously difficult Par three. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Ron Hottes The Monday V.V.Vs: With numbers improving every week, the Monday comp is really heating up.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176507,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":["post-176506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
