EUROA GOLF CLUB

By RICHARD JOHNSON

IT has been a massive week for the junior golfers at Euroa Golf Club, starting with young gun Sam Mills taking out the prestigious Hidden Valley B Grade event.

Sam is now playing from a handicap of just five.

The juniors featured at the top of the leaderboards in the Saturday club event, with Jackson Walker taking out Division One in a three-way countback.

With 39 points from his 11 handicap, he finished just ahead of Matt Mills and Ross Wishart, also on 39.

In Division Two, Charlie Walker’s 35 points, including the nearest the pin on eight, gave him the win over another young junior - J Sullivan.

The club was pleased to have five juniors in the Saturday competition fields.

The twilight players enjoyed their last event of the summer in a contest that took a four-way countback for Charlie Watson to collect the win over his dad, Scott.

Paddy McCarthy and Jackson Walker rounded out the countback quadrella.

Cactus Healey won the Wednesday Stableford event with a modest 33 points, but most of the field struggled with scores in the 20s.

The Division One pennant team had their colours lowered by Mount Macedon, while the restricted handicap team had a narrow loss to Hidden Valley.

In other club news, tickets are still available for the trivia night on Friday, 4 April and Thursday, 11 April is the last junior clinic for the season.

BACK-TO-BACK wins for Tim Baldwin, but no countback was required this week, with Baldwin dominating the field by five points to record the best Stableford score of the year so far—43 points.

The accurate driving continued from last week, with some excellent finishing on and around the greens contributing to the runaway win.

Runner-up was the well-prepared Michael Roberts, firing a two-better-than-handicap 38 points.

Roberts’ all-round game looked in good order.

Rounding out the top three was Wayne Le Cerf, once again knocking on the door with a minor placing.

The Bullet is definitely one to watch, with some big events not too far away.

The nearest-the-pin prizes went to Ryan Ezard on both the third and eighth.

Ezard has only just returned after a summer of cricket, showing no signs of rust.

Shaun Spicer collected a ball for his efforts at the 13th, and Shaun Bryant somehow got it done at the 16th.

Next week’s golf will be a stroke monthly medal event, with D. Brown on office duty and T. Baldwin in the bar.

EUROA LADIES GOLF

By DEBRA COX

LAST Wednesday, delightful autumn weather attracted 14 women to play 18 holes of Stableford.

Still no sign of our nine-hole ladies - please come back, we miss you.

Gail Allen won the day with 37 points on a countback from Annette Smith.

Close behind on 36 points were Deb Cox and Michelle Thomson.

Drive and pitch: Fifth to Deb Cox, and 15th to Gail Allen.

Saturday was another round of Stableford.

I am not sure what happened, but only six women decided to play.

It was a bit rainy in the morning but had mostly cleared by the time we teed off.

Nevertheless, we six soldiered on and had an enjoyable afternoon.

Gail Allen romped home with a fabulous 41 points.

Deb Cox was next with 35 points.

Nearest the pin: 18th to Lorraine Ellis.

Drive and pitch: Fifth to Levenia Redfern, and 15th to Deb Cox.

A special mention this week to Ros Doxey for organising a large group of ladies from Melbourne's Box Hill Golf Club (her sister is a member) to play in a two-day competition at Euroa.

It was an outstanding success, with many of the Box Hill ladies asking for it to become an annual event.

Well done, Ros; it was a lot of work, but it has paid off in spades.

Big thanks also to Mary Dewis and Mandy Edwards, who worked wonders in the kitchen feeding our guests.

Next Wednesday is Stableford, and the following Saturday will be Stroke/Monthly Medal.
