A BREAK in the ordinary weather allowed the women to play a 4–Ball event last Wednesday at Beechworth.

The winners of the day were Judy Pierce and Deb Tully with 36 points, while runners up were Gail Smith and Coral Ward with 34 points.

Deb Tully claimed nearest the pin on the 7th and Gail Smith on the 10th.

You may have noticed out on the course that there are some 'tombstone' looking wooden posts scattered around the course.

These posts (thanks to Andy Croome for making and painting and Brian Cropley for helping concrete in) have now been fitted with hole numbers and distances (thanks to Rick and Judy Pierce) to form our new nine hole par three course.

Scorecards will soon be developed and hopefully the course will be rated so we can play handicapped events on it soon.

As part of constructing the par three course a new scrape has been made in–between the 11th and 9th fairways which forms the 7th green on the par three layout.

Thanks to Andy Croome and Dylan Pool for the construction of the green. There is still a bit of work to do but it is open for play.

There is information on the clubhouse window on how the layout of the course works.

Feel free to come out at any time and try out the short course, it only takes around one hour to play nine holes.

There was no golf played at Beechworth on Sunday.

We will try and play the August Monthly Medal again this Sunday, if the weather gods allow.

11:30am for a 12 noon hit off.

Wednesday 8:30am for a 9am start.
