NAGAMBIE GOLF By DAVID LOVE THE King’s Birthday long weekend and a forecast of rain saw the smallest field of the year assemble for a par event at the Nagambie Golf Club on Sunday. The rain was welcome, with the course in desperate need of a good soaking. Jeremy Ezard was the winner in the wet conditions, recording an even-par result. Runner up honours went to Chris Roberts, finishing some distance back on five-under. With a smaller field, there were fewer attempts to reach the par three in regulation. Ryan Ezard was the only player to hit one on the day, producing a well-weighted iron onto the 13th. In other news, Graeme Cusack competed at the Tocumwal Winter Tournament, an event that attracts hundreds of golfers from across the state and beyond. Cusack carded the best score in the Saturday singles Stableford event and was the winner of B grade. A great effort from Cusack. Next week’s golf at Nagambie will be a Stableford event and the first round of the social club trophy. On office duty will be B. Leviston, with C. Roberts in the bar. AVENEL GOLF CLUB By LYN CARRACHER RAIN has come at last and the course has soaked it up like a sponge. Members and guests gathered to compete in the third running of the JCS Electrical Solutions Pinehurst event and thankfully the predicted rain held off for most of the afternoon, with all but the late starting group managing to get to the clubhouse before it started. There were many “sad” stories to be told but everyone enjoyed the challenging format of Pinehurst even if though it may not have been reflected in their scores. Jack Smith got some driving practice on the first hole after playing partner Ollie Aitken’s robust swing smashed the big ball and the little ball was left on the tee peg. The husband and wife combination of Lance and Lyn Carracher played a good round and despite a disappointing second nine, held on to win the scratch with 80 off the stick. Visiting from Yea, Kenny Whitfort teamed up with former president Dale Smith and they collected the prize for the best nett score with 75.5. Dale was less than happy with his golf but fortunately for him, Kenny never missed a fairway which makes all the difference when playing Pinehurst. Scratch runners up were Danny Neville and Brad McNamara. They must have been striking it well as they also took out the drive and pitch on the 17th and Danny got the nearest the pin on the 14th. Net runners up were Alex Smith and Jarrod Byers and line balls went to Mark and Sam Hannigan and Jed and Rachel Smith. Other Nearest the pins went to Mark Hannigan on the fifth, Dale Smith on the eighth and Jack Smith on the 18th. Drive and Pitch on the seventh was brother combo of Lindsay and Campbell Smith. The Avenel Imperial Hotel $50 voucher was won by Tim Batten. The Mabel Vearing Silver Salver is on this Thursday and Saturday’s event will be Par from the short courses. Cheers and good golfing.
