Entry forms are available for the 2024 Life Members’ Summer Classic at Deniliquin Golf Club.
This annual event will be played on the weekend of January 27 and 28 and have a changed format, with two person team ambrose and fourball stroke. Entry forms are available online or at the club.
Plenty of golf has been enjoyed over the holiday season, with the course in magnificent condition.
Last Thursday was a stableford event with two grades. A-grade winner was Dylan Monks with 38 points, from runner-up Ali Ferguson 35, and B-grade went to Sarah Aitken 39 from runner-up Kathy Simpson 35.
On Saturday the A-grade winner was Terry Howe 38 from runner-up Graeme Willoughby 37; B-grade Oscar Marshall 43 from runner-up Liam Pitts 40, and C-grade Donald Bull 36 on countback to Terry Cheetham.
On Wednesday in warm summer conditions the scoring was hot, and your score needed to start with a ‘4’ to be among the winners.
A-grade went to Kerran Leetham with 41 points from runner-up Dean Irwin 36; B-grade Liam Pitts 43 from runner-up Jamie Loy 40, and C-grade Patrick Keane 43 from runner-up Kathy Simpson 41.
Coming up we have a stroke event tomorrow and the first monthly medals of 2024.
Tuesday is nine holes stableford, with medley stableford events on Wednesday and Thursday.
The driving range has been popular during the holiday season, and perhaps it is the additional practice that is leading to some excellent scores.
Make use of the range if your swing needs some perfecting.
The club would appreciate some extra support from members for Friday Night Fun in 2024, as numbers have dwindled.
Raffle tickets are on sale from 6pm with draws at 7pm, and meals are available.
