Well there is nothing like a bit of controversy to get cyber space humming with a few e-mails, up dates on the gum trees will be provided as and when required. Unfortunately I am not sure there is anything as topical this week but perhaps too much excitement is not good for us!!
Our overseas correspondents made contact during the week and I am able to confirm David & Olivia Page are currently in Strasbourg visiting their daughter with temperatures in the high 20's. I had another note from Steve Ellis who confirms he is tirelessly trying to establish broadcasting rights with the European Networks for the Metro competition.
Firstly many thanks to all those who supported the Caltex Eagles fundraising for Junior Golf. Ken Fergus advises that business was brisk and by 10.30am he had sold out of raffle tickets so well done Ken and the morning field hopefully we will snare some prizes.
Match of the day was Stableford three grades and the conditions were overcast but dry with a bitterly cold southerly blowing sending the wind chill factor skyrocketing. In the seniors showing a return to form of yesteryear Glenn Bongartz shot 40 points to lead in the seniors from Kim Sanders on 37 and a host of players- Tony Park, Soshi Hirai, Brendan Hicks and Ray Barakauskas on 36.
Warren Glass won the intermediates on 38 points on countback from Jim McBryde with Peter Hollister on 37 in third followed by Graham Watson and Grant Mitchell on 36. The Junior section saw similar scoring with Stu Kemp being successful on 40 points from Peter Davey on 37 with John Aitchison and Mike Stenhouse on 36.
Two's were worth $20.40 to the twelve lucky winners and the jackpot of $75 was struck by Tony McKeogh, Peter McDougall and Ray Barakauskas so $25 each. Nearest the pins were won by Peter Guthrey on 3 and Ray Barakauskas on 11 $35 each.Nearest the pin on 2 for 2 sponsored by Linden Leaves was won by Paul Needs while on 18 Aidan Millar took away the Benjarong Thai Cuisine prize. The new nett eagles pool of $80 was not struck with hole 8 being drawn (very long back into the wind!!).
On Sunday our course was used by Canterbury Golf as a trial for selection of a Women's team but in and around the tee times a number of Page Trophy Matches took place. Moving through to the next round are the Cains who recorded a win over the Sinclairs, Grant and Janet Osborn who were successful over the McKeoghs, Joe and Sue Mullins who overcame the Pankhursts and Murray and Lorraine Smith who outlasted Dave Robinson and Stephanie Beth to win 2up.
As with all match play events please review the draw and see when the next round is due so that you do not run out of time.
