Today the youngest of the Akdags pipped out his older brother to win the November Monthly Medal on countback. Well done to Kazim Akdag who today edged out Mehmet – both players had an excellent net 64. Mal Fleming and Damo came in second with 66 and Oliver 3rd with 70.

It was certainly a beautiful day with much easier conditions than Echuca – no mossies and no rain.

Next week will be the meeting for committee nominations after the Stableford round.

Another successful trip with interesting conditions including mosquito plagues and wintry wet conditions on Day 1 on the West course and a drizzly, but mostly fine day, for Day 2 on the East course. The conditions were no problem for David Rees, this years Annual Challenge winner with an aggregate score of 78 stableford points and for unlucky David Howard who also had 78 points but came second in the countback. Mehmet Akdag came in 3rd with an aggregate 71 points. Well done lads, especially from those like me floundering around pretending to play golf!!

The Moama Bowling Club was the social venue and as last year there was excellent food and facilities.

The Cox plate went to Bobbie McDonald for losing 4 balls in 6 holes – not to worry Bobs got wardrobes full of balls!!

Eddie got most of the nearest the pins as far as I recall.

THANKS TO RODGER FOR ORGANISING ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL TRIP.

Note. Next year will also be at Echuca and is already booked ahead. Let Rodger know if you are going so the numbers can be confirmed well ahead of time.

David Rees came back to form and won the competition today in wet conditions. Unusually the rain hang in there for the whole 18 holes so thems that like wet conditions prospered and thems that didn’t suffered. Being of pommie descent I’m a mudlark 🙂

The matchplay runner up game was played today with Andrew Blight defeating Chris Priems for third place in the matchplay championship (not sure what final score was can you guys let me know please). Andrew gets 3rd place double points which is 6 championship points and Chris gets 4th place double points which is 4 points.

Matchplay 3rd and 4th playoff. Andrew Blight d Chris Priems result was ??

 

Consistency over the two rounds and patience in trying conditions was they the key to our Fred Kitson Spring Cup winner Tony Mifsud who finished square for the two rounds. Conditions for the final round were horrendous with tee off postponed for 45 minutes whilst hail and rain pounded the course. Well done to Mal Whelan and Ken Grist for a gritty -1 just one stroke behind.

Conditions in Perth meanwhile, for the members who went over to Damien’s wedding, were in the high twenties and sunny so the contrast could not have been more stark. The word is the wedding went off well and the boys played a round in the morning before the big event and Damo, even though he wasn’t here for the Fred Kitson, has still got the championship lead!
