The winner of the Flippin Fresh Seafood Wodonga voucher in the raffle was Jarryd Pritchard.

Summer Cup

The second round of the Summer Cup was played on Sunday in rather warm and humid conditions.

Thanks to George Ward who went out and scraped around the holes in the morning so the greens were playable.

Let's be thankful we didn't receive the rainfall other places did the night before.

Aaron Haw (20) has set the pace early in the Summer Cup with another win today with 35 points following on from his win two weeks ago in the first round.

Andy Croome (18) was runner up with 33 and George Ward (20) won a ball with 32.

Only one nearest the pin went off and that went to Andy Croome on the 7th.

After the second round of the Summer Cup Aaron Haw is the leader with a combined score of 71, with Andy Croome 63 and George Ward 61 the closest rivals. But with the best three out of four format it is still wide open.

This coming Sunday will be the normal hit off time of 12:30 for 1pm with the event to be decided on the day.

The 3rd and 4th rounds of the Summer Cup will be played on February 13th and 20th.

This coming Sunday there are a few players also taking part in the NEDGA Opening Day at Waldara.
