Vin O’Meara will be chuckling away to himself as he managed to pick the wettest day of 2008 for our final round of the Vin O’Meara. Even though SOME OF US veterans managed to finish the round in the miserable wet conditions the majority of players could not finish the round and the competition had to be abandoned for this year. No one was more disappointed as me as I had backed Chris and he was going ok 🙁

Next week is the David Primrose Champion of Champions. This competition is for the winners and grinners from 2008. The eligible players for this year are

Chris Priems
Damien Lee
Malcolm Adey
Rodger Clarke
Ken Grist
Ed Kloprogge
Rod Grant
Derek McDonald
Emilio Bassi
Oliver Gross
David Rees
Craig Sharp
Ross Trevean
Neil Iuculano
Kazim Akdag

Please note that these are the winners from all the major comps and monthly medal as well as the Echuca Winner. Best 3 rounds of par, stableford and stroke are not included.

Your editor will be away next week so a happy and safe xmas break to you and your families…see you in 2009!

Gents,

As you would be aware this week is our club break up and club presentation.

The plan for the day is:

Golf – 7.15am 1st group

Club AGM 12.30pm

Lunch 1pm

Presentation 1.45pm

Finish around 3pm.

I would strongly suggest anyone who wasnt there Saturday to ring the pro shop and book yourself in. Due to high numbers this week we cant have any visitors (members must get priority this week).

This Saturday is also the David Primrose Champion of Champions (stroke) and a regular club round (Stableford). This will mean that all players will score a stableford cards and the eligible players for the Champ of Champs need to play out every hole in order to turn in a stroke score.

Championship points will be awarded as usual for the regular round. Points are not awarded for the Champ of Champ winner or place getters.

Allan will put a list of eligible players on the website.

Regards,

Stuart.

The official last round of 2008 was the 29th November and the Eclectic Competition was decided on that day. For those of you unfamiliar with the Eclectic it is calculated from the best score per hole you achieved during the year. Scores are added up for holes 1 to 18 and then half the handicap on the last round (29th Nov) is deducted to arrive at the net Eclectic score. The lowest Eclectic score wins the competition and this year – yes its him again – CHRIS PRIEMS our club champion who won with a net score of 46.5, Craig Sharp was second with 47.9 and Damien Lee third with 48.15.

Well done Chris!!

Vin O’Meara groups for round two next week will be posted early this week. Our round 1 leader is Chris Priems (can nothing stop this man!) with a net 60 and Gordon Hill close on his heels with a 61.
