NAGAMBIE GOLF CLUB

By DAVID LOVE

THE first monthly medal for the 2024/25 year of golf was run and won in excellent conditions with the course looking fantastic for the time of year, it was the start of early tee times to avoid the coming summer heat with everyone arriving in good time.

Plenty of outstanding scores were posted on the day with five players finishing net 70 or better, the winner was Alan Anderson producing his best score for some time 89-23-66 and showing the field he is still a contender in the big events.

Runner up was Metro mates member Tim Hosking controlling his long hitting from the tee Hosking to fire a 84-18-66 and was unlucky to miss the win on count-back, filling in third place was Don Hughes going low with a 85-17-68.

The nearest the pin prizes went to Tim Baldwin gauging the distance perfectly to the third, Gary Bow clubbing it up to the long par three eighth, Graeme Cusack going close on the 13th and Tim Hosking capping off a great day at the 16th.

Next week's golf will be a Stableford event on office duty is D. Brown and in the bar D. Phelan.

EUROA LADIES GOLF

By DEBRA COX

ON Wednesday October 30 was a Stableford round with ten women for 18 holes and five for nine holes.

Perfect conditions saw some very close scores.

Winner was Deb Cox with 36 points.

Balls down the line went to Levenia Redfern on 35 points, Michelle Thomson and Judy McLean (on a countback from Lorraine Ellis) on 34 points.

The nine-hole winner was Kae Lummas on 16 points.

Nearest the Pins. Eighth: Michelle Thomson, 12th: Gail Allen, 18th: Levenia Redfern.

Drive and Pitch. Fifth: Lorraine Ellis and 15th went to the Club.

Actually, the 15th Drive Pitch was achieved by at least two players, although each thought that their ball placing wasn't good enough to win, therefore declined to mark it.

It was also great to see Maudie Ingram come out for a few quiet holes as she slowly eases back into golf after a prolonged medical absence.

Keep at it Maudie, we miss you.

Saturday November 2 was Stroke, Monthly Medal and A Scratch. Fourteen women participated.

This was also the last opportunity to nab a Monthly Medal and therefore qualify to play in the prestigious Medal of Medalist's for 2024.

This round was dominated by one of our most talented young players who will no doubt feature prominently in the Championships which commence next Saturday.

Winner was Emily Flavel with nett 66.

Emily had 81 off the stick.

For most of us an 81 off the stick is the stuff of dreams.

Fabulous score Em and peaking at the right time of year.

Balls down the line went to our youngest women's member, Grace Eddy on nett 70.

Grace is another rising star with a bright future.

Erica Mercer also took home a ball with nett 71.

Emily won the Monthly Medal, A Scratch and to round out the day took the prize for least putts with 28.

Huge congratulations to you Em.

Nearest the Pins. Eighth: Michelle Thomson, 12th: Gail Allen (yep, they also won them on the previous Wednesday), 18th: Robin Lied.

Drive and Pitch. Fifth: Erica Mercer, 15th: Gail Allen.

Next Wednesday is Stableford.

Saturday is Stroke and the first round of the Women's Championship which promises to be a tight and thrilling contest.
