Gosford Ladies Pennants - Monday 31st May 2021

 CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR LADIES PENNANTS TEAM - BANKSIA POOL

ON A GREAT WIN IN THE PENNANTS.

Gosford had a Bye today and the win depended on the results of the Pennants match played today at Gosford where the apposing team had to win 5/2. This was not achieved so our Team are declared the winners of the Banksia Pool of the Ladies Pennants.

Well done Team - we are very proud of your efforts. Celebrations tomorrow at Ladies Golf Day. 👏👏👏👏👏

MENS MASTERS PENNANTS RESULTS - Sunday 30th May 2021

We hosted Nelsons Bay at Gosford this week and several of their players commented on the Gosford course layout and that they would return to play here again.

 

It was cold and several of our boys took a few holes to warm up but several came from behind to win their matches. Great wins to Clags and Fitchy early, followed by a half  to Steve Mann left us with a very close finish. Mike Connors was comfortable all day and won his match at the second last hole and that left Duncan Brown to lead us home for a win.

 

Duncan was down early and playing a bloke that had qualified in his early years for the British Open. Duncan won the second last hole to go one up and again sealed the victory with a clutch putt on the last. His opponent was still saying an hour latter that he was the better player and couldn’t believe he had been beaten. I cant wait for the rematch next week. I have a schooner on Duncan to win.

 

Great win boys and looking forward to playing next week at Nelsons Bay.

We had a good day on the Village Green thankfully finishing before the heavier showers hit. We did have some good highlights from all of us with some good 3 pointers, The girls beat the boys for the Keno ticket which was definitely a highlight for the girls, and Jan scored more than 30 points which has broken a long standing record and winning a ball.

Masters Golf Results - Sunday 23rd May 2021

 

Another great day in the office today. The weather was sensational and the course was a pleasure to play. All our blokes said that they would return and play Maitland again at some time. Its a difficult course and tough to play without a prior round.

 

The Maitland boys were again great sports and fun to play against. This time though they were very tough to beat on their home course and we went down 7 games to one.

 

Our captain Duncan Brown was our only winner. He had a rematch against Maitland’s scratch marker and following his great win last week won again 1 up with another clutch putt on the last.

 

Next week were back at home against Nelson Bay and will be looking for a win.

Men’s Master Pennants Results - Sunday 16th May 2021

Gosford hosted Maitland today for our first Masters Pennant match for 2021. What a great bunch of blokes and all the matches were played in a good spirit. Several of the Maitland players commented on Gosford’s great layout and that they really enjoyed their time in the trees.

 

It was a very close contest that could have gone either way but our number one Duncan Brown sank a clutch putt on the last to win his game 1 up and secure a 4 all draw. Good wins also to Tony Callaghan and Michael Crookes and a couple of squares to Steve Mann and myself. 

 

Next week Maitland will host us and we are looking forward to the return game.  Hopefully we can go one better

The Gosford Ladies held the it biggest day since COVID hit today fielding about 37 teams from all over the coast and including our Gosford ladies.

We had beautiful weather which made the course welcoming and the day was enhanced by the great organising of our Ladies Committee who made the day run smoothly with special mention to Liz Robinson and Sheena Asken who put in a lot of hard yards. A mention to George Foster and Nigel Asken who sold Raffle tickets throughout the day including out on the course. Another mention to Peter Martin who came in early to clear the greens and tees of rubbish before the start of play.

Everyone I spoke with today really enjoyed the day and visitors commented on how well the day was organised.

The best news ever coming out of the day was that we raised over $3,000.
