EUROA LADIES GOLF By DEBRA COX WEDNESDAY Stableford saw nine women playing 18 holes and seven competing over nine holes. The 18-hole results were interesting, with only one player making the cut. Lorraine Ellis finished on 31 points, while Ann Hill, a regular Wednesday competitor, placed second with 28 points. Well done to Lorraine and Ann. The nine-hole players continue to impress, with Kae Lummas extending her winning streak, finishing on 17 points on a countback from Michelle Grady. Congratulations to Kae and Michelle. There was only one nearest-the-pin winner, with Deb Cox taking the 18th hole. The club retained the eighth and 12th. Drive and pitch winners were Deb Cox on the fifth and Kae Lummas on the 15th. The start of autumn coincided with the first Saturday of the month, meaning Stroke, Monthly Medal, and A Grade Scratch were contested. Fourteen women competed for the prestigious Monthly Medal, which was convincingly won by Michelle Grady with a nett 70. A fantastic score. A Grade Scratch was claimed by Emily Flavel, finishing with 83 off the stick. Congratulations, Emily. Balls down the line went to Freda Edwards and Emily Flavel on a countback from Grace Eddy, all with nett 74. Least putts went to Michelle Grady on a countback from Emily Flavel, both with 29. Nearest the pin winners were: Eighth: Deb Cox. 12th: Michelle Grady. 18th: Melissa Eddy. Drive and pitch winners were: Fifth: Freda Edwards. 15th: Michelle Grady. A great round for Michelle Grady—well done, and no doubt more success is ahead. Thanks to Drummond Golf for their sponsorship of the Monthly Medal. Next Wednesday, 5 March will be Opening Day for winter. In golf, there are only two seasons—summer and winter. This means a gala day with 12-hole team play and a fun event, all followed by a shared lunch. The upcoming long weekend features three consecutive days of golf, so there will be plenty to report. NAGAMBIE GOLF CLUB By DAVID LOVE THE March Monthly Medal was claimed by Jim Ewart, who utilised all his skills and handicap to take the win by one stroke. Much like the famous outlaws of the past, Ewart quipped, “I am more used to coming out from behind the trees,” but ‘Big Jim’ stayed out of trouble to post a match-winning score of 88-19-69. Last month's medalist, Steve Dove, finished runner-up with a solid 90-20-70. Dove had every right to feel robbed after hearing Ewart’s escapades post-round. Third place went to the big-hitting, ball-chasing Rhys Shepherd, who posted an 81-10-70. Blustery conditions made target golf difficult, with only two of four nearest the pins claimed. Greg Whiteman just found the dance floor at the eighth, but a sloppy back end cost him a stronger finish. Glen Evans chose the right club to work the ball back against the strong breeze and reach the 13th. Next week's event will be a Par competition, with S. Bryant on office duty and G. Whiteman in the bar. EUROA GOLF CLUB By RICHARD JOHNSON THIRTY- FOUR players competed in the final round of the Keith Seeber-sponsored Summer Twilight event. This week's winner was Grace Eddy with 22 points, followed by Peter McMahon with 20, and Paul Jones and Glen McMartin with 19. Grace's win in the fourth round also secured her victory in the overall Keith Seeber-sponsored Summer Twilight event, played over four rounds. She won on a countback from Brian Rule after both finished on 76 points. Robyn Anthony, Michelle Grady, and Nicholas Murray tied for third on 71 points, with five more players just two points behind. At just 13 years old, Grace is an exciting up-and-coming junior at Euroa Golf Club. She has reduced her handicap from 54 almost two years ago to her current 20. Grace started hitting golf balls in the backyard at four years of age and progressed through the Junior Development Program run by Euroa Golf Club two years ago. The junior program for this year has two weeks remaining. Drummond Golf sponsored the last Monthly Medal for this summer, with 34 men competing in a tightly contested event that required countbacks. Division One saw another of the club’s young guns firing, with Jesse Walker taking out the division with 82-13-69 on countback from Craig Flavel. In Division Two, Frank O’Connor shot 84-15-69 to claim the division win and the March Monthly Medal. Other strong performances and ball winners included Peter McMahon (71), Brian Rosenbrock (71), Cam Roper (72), Keith Seeber (73), and Alex Burton (73). Frank O’Connor collected a two-ball payout, while Glen Burton won the putting competition with 23. Keith Seeber had yet another win, finishing with 36 Stableford points to claim victory in the Wednesday competition. Neal Healey was runner-up, while Brian Rosenbrock finished a couple of points back on 34. Paddy McCarthy collected a handful of Nearest the Pin ball prizes. There is just one round left to decide the top ten for the Euroa Hotel Kinross Farms Summer Shootout, with up to 20 players still in contention to secure a spot. The Labour Day long weekend will feature three big days of golf. Saturday will see a two-person Ambrose event sponsored by Health Save Pharmacy, followed by the Ausure Insurance Partners Four Ball on Sunday. Monday will conclude with the Laurie Edwards Memorial Mixed Foursomes. Entries remain open for all events.
