1st; Dylan Harris (7) – 37pts

2nd; Mal Mottram (8) – 34pts

3rd; Mick Squire (4) – 33 pts c/b Ben Owen (14)

Such is the popularity of the Kyneton Par 3 Tournament it is necessary to enter weeks before the event to ensure a place in the field. The day was pleasantly sunny and playing in groups of 6 created a social atmosphere along with the competitiveness of vying for Nearest The Pin on all 18 holes and the Grade winners in A, B and C.

Lorraine Robb represented Romsey Golf and had a great round 81/32/49 narrowly missing out on the C Grade winners circle. Lorraine’s nett score was 5th best out of 105 scores on the day.

Despite reasonably tough conditions the Kilmore Championship 4BBB was well attended and all had a great day.  RGC secretary Elaine Scanlon teamed with Kilmore men’s captain Rod Williams to return the best score – 39pts.

Steady drizzle was falling as the players arrived for the September Medal.  There was a consistent NW wind pushing up to 30Kph and the temperature snuck up to 12C.  As the round progressed the sun came out and, despite a few showers towards the end of the round, the afternoon became far more pleasant.  However, the rougher weather over the final few holes made the 15th and 16th par 3s extremely difficult to hit.  Many players found the going very tough and only two were able to equal or better their handicaps.  On a generally nice day to be out on the par the results were;

1st;  September Medalist; Mal Mottram – 79/9/70

2nd; Ben Owen – 86/14/72

3rd; John Freestone – 130/29/74

NTPs; 1st – Mal Mottram, Best 2nd shot 3rd – Dean Kohler, Longest Drive – Mal Mottram

Kilmore Golf Club held the Jan Reeves Memorial Trophy which is their annual Women’s Tournament.   Jenny Hartley and Darlene Baker journeyed across to play on a fine but slightly chilly day with 35 other women from Dalhousie and beyond.
Jenny had a wonderful round to win B Grade with 100/36/74.

The strong gusty winds played havoc with scoring in the Wednesday Stroke round. Drives were held up by the strong winds or swept across the fairways and even putts were pushed off line.  Nevertheless players persisted and enjoyed their day on course.
