Mixed results in pennant for BGC

AFTER quite a few messages and phone calls and last minute injuries we managed to send out two pennant sides for the third round of pennant. A win and a loss was recorded. The section one side was on the winning end of a 3&2 result against Thurgoona at Yarrawonga and the section three side unfortunately went down 3&2 against the home side Benalla. In the section one match it wasn't looking great as debutante Simon Pfahlert at number four and Dylan Pool at number one were finished rather early coming up against opponents who were much better than them around the greens. With Simon going down 6&5 and Dylan 5&3. At number two the steady Darren Edwards did as he usually does and recorded a 4&2 victory. It was down the Howard's, Yogi and Zane. Yogi was one up or square most of the day and this continued up until the 17th hole where he had to give a shot, but knocked a fantastic shot to about two feet from around 150 metres, to head into the last hole one up. Yogi had a putt from about eight foot for par on the last hole to win the match, but unfortunately he missed and extra holes was a possibility. But lucky for him his opponent missed a shorter putt and he recorded a one up victory. Zane Howard at number five was down most of the day. With him three down with five to go. He put the cart into turbo and must have got a rev up from Maisy in the passengers seat, as he won the next four holes to be one up with one to go. Zane squared the last hole to win his match one up. Next week there is a week off then the team takes on Wodonga at Chiltern. As mentioned earlier the section three side had the tough task of taking on Benalla at Benalla. Vaughan Saunders must of had a day he would rather forget going down 4&3 at number one, John Sheehan took his match the whole way, but was unfortunately on the wrong end of the last hole decider, ending his match one down. At number three the captain Phil Pelgrim also went the whole way, but the shot he received on the last hole must have helped him as he won one up. Graeme Pool after a call up this morning at 7am after Tyson Carey had to withdraw due to injury, came up against a class player and didn't help himself with the flat stick apparently and went down 5&4. Simon Carracher at number 4 recorded a good second win from just as many matches winning 2&1. The team also has next week off and will travel to Corowa in two weeks to take on Yackandandah. We are looking for a few players for the section three side at Corowa in two weeks with a couple away on a golf trip and another two unavailable. So if anyone would like to play at Corowa for only $10 please let Dylan know. The club needs your help to fill the side. Thanks to everyone who did step in help out this week.
