10.01.2022 62 players entered today's monthly medal, played in fine warm weather with the blustery winds the only detraction. The scores from the three grade winners reflected the conditions with A Grade won by Brenton Payne (7) with 69. Roger Cripps (16) was the B Grade winner with 67 and he lost the monthly medal on a countback from the C Grade winner and medalist Mike DeJong (27).

Thirty-one players submitted scores on Thursday in reasonable conditions, and the best was Ross Jackson (23) with 39 points, followed by Brenton Payne (9) with 37 points.... Then the "Antarctic Blob" hit the region on Saturday, with temperatures close to zero, hail and some occasional snow flurries. Despite this, fourteen players actually played and completed their round. What's more, the scores submitted were really very good. Brenton Payne (9) had an amazing 41 points. He must have ice in his veins, maybe his customary shorts numb him to the cold. Three players submitted 36 points: Simon Ovenden (1), Graeme Smith (18) and Ross Jackson (23). John Goodman (17) had 35 points. The weather is looking better next week, but we think it's still going to be a long way from a "Tropical Blob"! The course needs to dry out. Let's hope we can get back to proper competitions for all members, with actual prizes, sometime in September.

09.01.2022 An excellent field of 71 played in today's mixed Stableford. What's more, the dangerous winds that were forecast didn't eventuate, and warm and sunny conditions prevailed.
