Annual Challenge Rich River 2009
Preliminary Results.
After the hottest trip away we can remember our winner for the Annual Challenge at Echuca our winner was Ed Kloprogge who put in two great rounds and 39 and 32 to just pip out the runner up Andrew Petricola.
Conditions were unbelievably hot with two days of mid thirties and topping out at 36deg on the Sunday. Every body had a great time as usual at the Paddlewheel motel and the kids (and adults) enjoyed cooling down in the pool. Special thanks to Rodger for organising the whole weekend.
Results for 24th October and Matchplay Final
MATCHPLAY 2009 WINNER – CRAIG SHARP
The matchplay final was an exciting affair again this year and right down to the last hole. Craig Sharp kept his cool and won the championship 1 up from Andrew Petricola. By all accounts
Andrew was in the lead +3 at the turn and Craig made up the ground and overtook in the second nine. Well done to you both for reaching the final which is no small feat. Commiserations to Andrew and Sharpie its great to see you get the major trophy, especially after being so close so many times.
Jan Siemon won the daily stableford competition with 39 points today 1 clear of Chris Priems and Mal Fleming. This now puts the top of the championship table into a very tight situation and set for a tense few remaining weeks for Jan, Damo and Craig with Andrew snapping at their heels.
| Name | Championship Points | Wins | Second Places | Third Places | Fourth Places | Fifth Places |
| Jan Siemon | 77 | 2 | 8 | 1 | 8 | 2 |
| Damien Lee | 75 | 5 | 0 | 10 | 1 | 3 |
| Craig Sharp | 75 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 5 |
| Andrew Petricola | 66 | 2 | 6 | 3 | 3 | 5 |
Next week the majority of the club will be in Echuca and it is expected that at least 7 players will be at Ivanhoe next Saturday for a social game. There are 3 groups booked as at Monday night so there are five free spots going at 7.20am next Saturday.
Fred Kitson Spring Cup Final Results 17th October 2009
The Fred Kitson Spring Cup has once again been blessed. Last year the inaugural competition was won by Derek McDonald, Fred’s son-in-law and this year our youngest member, the boy wonder strikes again and shows that hanging in there and posting a square score to your handicap is the way to win 2 round competitions. Very well done, from all us, to the Fred Kitson Spring Cup Winner Kazim Akdag. He is in excellent form and wins this major trophy after recently knocking off the August Monthly Medal. Commiserations to Rodger and Craig who came in a close second – won’t mention the bridesmaid 🙂
As I said last week, Fred would have been mightily happy that none of you bastards beat par!!
Once again our intrepid catering officer from the windy city put on another amazing bbq full of delights from the Queen Victoria Market including chilli and hungarian sausages. I’m sure every one had clear sinuses and excellent bowel movements the foliowing day 🙂 Thanks Oliver from all the happy club members, they’ve never had it so good!
Welcome back to David Rees who’s been busy the last couple of months.
The grapevine tells me Johnny Quinlan might be heading back to the land of the poms. Hopefully it won’t be for too long and he won’t forget his mates here at the club.
