LAST Thursday night Beechworth Golf Club had 20 starters for Twilight golf on the back nine.

Unfortunately after most players had played about four or five holes, the heavens opened up unexpectedly, which resulted in one group retiring back to the clubhouse. The other 15 players took whatever shelter they could and stuck it out on the course, with everyone then continuing their rounds looking like drowned rats.

The rain brought out the good golf for the winner as Jackson Wells hit his first shot of the night onto the footy ground and only had two points after three holes.

But throw in two four pointers after the rain to end up with 20 points and with his plus five he won the night with 25.

Runner up taking home the Bridge Road Brewers voucher was Dan Balzer with 23 points (18+5).

Ball winners were Daryl Rowe 22, John Purtell 20 and Josh Carr 20.

Gerard Cull took home the Beechworth Bakery voucher for nearest the pin on the 10th and Rod Shaw won the Alpine Indigo Accounting half dozen on the 17th.

After all the rain we weren't sure who claimed the nearest chip, but we think it was either Leith McKenzie or John Purtell.

For the second time in three weeks John Purtell took home the CC’s Quality Meats and Smokehouse voucher in the raffle.

Please be aware of the earth works on the second and third holes.

The second green is still in play, please do not play off the new earth works and take a drop.

If anyone is working on site we would prefer that you avoided the area and play just the back nine.

There will also be a temporary green in place on the third hole for a few weeks.

Please bear with us while we make these improvements to the course.

On Sunday we had the right amount of players turn up to play a three person Ambrose.

The run away winners with 61/53.83 were Daryl Rowe, George Ward and Dylan Pool.

Runners up were Phil Pelgrim, Zane Howard and Rod Shaw with 67/57.13.

Third was the team of Andy Croome, Jamie Dolny and Dave Clark with 65/58.5.

Nearest the pins went to Jamie Dolny on the 5th and Dylan Pool on the 17th.

It has been great to see so many members and visitors out playing socially over the Australia Day long weekend, even though it has been hot.

We would love to have some members put their hands up to help up lay turf on the new second and third green surrounds.

The turf is arriving on Tuesday, February 18 and many hands will make for an easy morning.

Please let the club know if you can help.

We will let members know what time closer to the day.

This coming Sunday is the third round of the Summer Cup.

A 11:30am arrival for 12noon hit off.
