Section 1 thrilling win secures a finals spot

THE fourth round of pennant was played at Beechworth Golf Club last Sunday. Our section one side travelled down the road to Chiltern to take on Wodonga in a must win match to stay in the hunt for the finals. It wasn't looking great as Dylan Pool was the last out, and well and truly the first back on, getting spanked 8 and 7. At number four Andy Croome was four down early and had a task ahead of him. Zane Howard, Jacob Howard and Darren Edwards were around that one up, one down mark most of the match. Unfortunately for Zane he went down on the 17th hole 2 and 1 and Wodonga had two wins in the bank. All three remaining matches went down to the 18th, with Andy Croome fighting his way back to win the last hole and win his match one up. Jacob Howard was forced to birdie the last hole to make sure his match didn't have to go down extra holes. And that he did, which had the match at two all. It was down to Darren Edwards. With Darren one up with one to go, his opponent was forced to go for glory, which luckily for us didn't end too well, which resulted in Darren only having to two putt the last hole to win his match, which he did. So in the end it was a nervy 3 and 2 victory. And with Chiltern going down to Albury on their home track, the scene is set for us to play Chiltern at Thurgoona next weekend, with the winners advancing to the final to take on Albury, who are undefeated. Over at Corowa our section 3 side didn't have the greatest day against Yackandandah. After eventually hitting off after a bit of disorganisation, the team unfortunately went down in a clean sweep 5 nil. At number one Graeme Cordy had the closest day going down on the last hole, at number two Stuart McIntosh went down 6 and 4, Phil Pelgrim went down 4 and 2 at number three, Tyson Carey took his opponent nearly the whole way going down on the 17th 2 and 1 and Graeme Pool lost 4 and 3 at number five. Unfortunately this now means the side can't make finals. They will, however, try and stop Benalla 2 from making it when they take them on at Wangaratta on the Sunday after Easter. At home on Sunday there was only one group out for a stableford round. Zoe Gephart (24) won the day with a fine 36 points. Jamie Dolny (13) won the countback for second from Dean Howard (13) with 32 points and Hollie Goodwin (13) came in with 30 points. Nearest the pin went to Jamie on the 10th. Golf this Friday RCH Good Friday Appeal Golden Putter. Men's, Women's handicap and non handicap 18 and 9 hole events. Hit off 11am to 12 noon.
