Pennants Results - Sunday 28th February 2021

 


A Grade had a bye this week but B grade and C grade travelled to Toukley to play Breakers. The weather was fine for a change and the course was in good condition.

 

It was tight early but B grade finished strongly to win comfortably and remain undefeated. C grade had one big win and the other two teams again finished on the 18th hole, drawing one and losing the other 1 down. This resulted in a tied match.

 

We have a big match next week against Wyong at Breakers. We remain in contention in all 3 grades and wins next week will really help our cause

F- Troop Morning Tea - Peter Martin, Les Wielinga, Steve Robinson, Kevin O’Brien, Rob Benson, Nigel Asken, Duncan Dyer, Don Nicholls, Di Beechey, Jan Martin (John Hollebon)


We had a busy morning dodging all the Vets players (145 players) and worked well through our projects.

We had 11 volunteers on hand - Duncan Dyer, Kevin O’Brien, Rob Benson, Steve Robinson, Les Wielinga, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Nigel Asken, John Hollebon, Di Beechey and Jan Martin.

Windy weather has brought down plenty of loose timber and rubbish around the course and wet weather has got all of the weeds in the gardens thriving.

Projects worked on today was rubbish and loose timber pick up, tree maintenance, hedge maintenance, removal of weed from the 13th dam, firewood delivery, clean up of some tees and surrounds with the new garden blower including the paths at the bush toilets, clean up of the gardens at the 1st and 10th tees, tidy up of the car parks, weeding of the 12th green gardens, cleaning of the bush toilets, tidy up of the 6th tranquility garden, trimming of the shrubs on the 6th native garden, weeding part of the 6th native garden, watering pots at the 6th tee, weed control at the wedding garden and pathways at the front of the clubhouse.

The high humidity had us ready for morning tea that we enjoyed under the shade of the clubhouse.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!


Pennants Results - Sunday 21st February 2021


Pennants report.

 

Firstly a big thanks to Matt Colbran and Robbie Whyte for playing today. We had a few of our regular players unavailable and they filled in at late notice. I’m sure they both enjoyed the day even though it was a tough day.

 

A grade were looking a real chance early but the last few holes cost us a few matches and we went down 6 to 1. Mark Hiley was exceptional again. Mark has been winning his matches comfortably and I asked him to play Number 1 today. He took up the challenge and beat Shelley Beaches gun on the last hole.

 

B grade managed a draw with a clutch putt from Brett Little on the last hole. B grade remain undefeated and on top of the comp.

 

Similar to last week C grade had 2 matches finish on the 18th only to loose the last hole and they were beaten 2 ½ to ½.

 

Next week B and C grade take on Breakers at Toukley and we are looking for a win. A grade have a bye and will come back firing in two weeks.

Men’s Pennants results - Sunday 14th February 2021

Pennants report.

 

Toukley are a very strong team and it was a tough day on the course today. Our B grade team was our only winner and they won convincingly 3 Nil. A grade lost 6 to 1 and C grade lost 3 nil but a loss will only make them stronger.

 

Two of our C grade pairs went down the last all square but the OOB on the right of the 18th fairway proved to be costly.

 

Next week we travel back to Kooindah Waters to take on Shelly Beach and I am predicting a win.

Gosford Men’s Pennants results - Sunday 7th February 2021

 

Gosford travelled to Kooindah Waters this week and took on the might of Magenta. Magenta’s A grade players are all under 2.5 Handicap and their B and C grade are very experienced but Gosford stood up.

 

A Grade won 4 ½ to 2 ½

B Grade won 2 to 1

C Grade won 2 to 1

 

There were some great comebacks by several of our players but a special mention to Mark Hiley who won his match this week 6 and 5 after a great win last week 7 and 6.

 

We also meet our mystery man Edward Hunter. The boys in the Pro shop told me he could play but he plays every morning before sunrise so he has never been seen. I have provided Edwards picture for all to see. I didn’t know much about Edward so I threw him in the deep end and played him at number 1. Edward played great and only went down to Magenta’s top gun on the last hole.

 

Well done boys. Bring on Toukley Oukley next week.
