Summer Supposedly Ends March Monthly Results

Despite the official end of summer last Tuesday, the weather didn’t reflect the change of season, though the course was looking great after recent rains. A strong turnout of 33 members contested the March Monthly Medal. Gerald Lovell claimed victory for the men with an impressive score of 68, while Jenny Hounsell triumphed for the women with a solid 69. Close behind her was her husband Colin, who finished on 70.

In the ladies' division, Lyn Muller took second place with 71, while Paula McQuat, Tiina Randmae, Elspeth Scotford, Heather Luvis, and Leanne Alexander earned spots in the rundown. For the men, Colin Hounsell, Gary Scotford, Laurie Dakin, Peter Fox, Trevor Peroz, Craig McLean, Neil Cawthorne, Peter Lindsay, and Nick Apruzzese made up the rundown.

Notable achievements included Jenny Hounsell, Jacqui Wall, Heather Luvis, Lyn Muller (in the hole #13), and Allison McCarthy earning pin shots, while Elspeth Scotford led the least putts category with 30. Chip-ins were shared by Vickie Wallace, Leanne Alexander, Trevor Peroz, John Roser, Neil Cawthorne, and Laurie Dakin.

In the draws, Allison McCarthy won the Membership Jackpot worth $40, Peter Lewis bagged the $50 Monthly Medal, and Alan Clinc claimed a $50 Fishi voucher in the weekly raffle. It was a fantastic day of competition, camaraderie, and celebration on the course.
