Pennant sides bow out in close contests

GREAT conditions last Wednesday for those that assembled for a Stableford round. It's great to see Pam Nankervis back on the winners list, winning the day with 38 points. Runner up was Jan Lang with 35 points. There was a bit of a gap to the rest of the field. With Gail Smith 29 and Doyna Collins 29 the next best. Nearest the pins went to Jan Lang on the 7th and Gail Smith on the 10th. Last Wednesday the April Monthly Medal was played. Only two shots separated the top four players. With all four of them breaking their handicaps. The winner was Gail Smith (18) with 67 nett. Runner up was Deb Tully (26) 68. Next to follow were Doyna Collins (34) 69 and Nada Guyatt (24) 69. No nearest the pins were recorded. On Sunday unfortunately was the last game for the season as both sides failed to make the final. The section one side had the task of beating Chiltern at Thurgoona to set up a date in the final against Albury. Unfortunately we were on the wrong end of a 3&2 result. The contest was close with three matches going to the 18th hole. Dylan Pool didn't make the 18th hole, finishing early going down 4/2. At number two Darren Edwards tried his hardest to get the side into the final easily winning his match 7&6. Despite having to give 10 shots to his opponent. At number three Sam Johanson made his debut for the club and won on the last hole after having to give 14 shots. Andy Croome was made to go the whole way, but having to give shots on the last four holes was too much of a task in the end, going one down. At number five Dean Howard was in the same situation as Andy having to give a lot of shots at the end of the 18 holes and also giving 11 for the day and lost two down. A fair effort from the team having to give a combined 48 shots for the day. Our Section three side unfortunately lost five nil to Benalla at Wangaratta. The result looks worse that it was, as three of the matches went to the last hole or into extra holes. Josh Carr lost on the 20th hole, John Sheehan went down 3&2, Phil Pelgrim took his match to the 19th, Tyson Carey unfortunately went down 4&3 and Simon Carracher lost two down on the 18th. We would like to thank all the players who represented the club this season. It is a fantastic effort to fill two teams for our little club. We had 19 different players fill the teams over the season. Also congratulations to Dylan Pool who had a hole in one at Benalla on the 3rd hole last Friday on their ANZAC Day competition. See you all out on Sunday, if not before.
