Sunday November 20th – Graeme Clement Open

With 30+mm of rain falling on Saturday afternoon noon and evening it was a courageous group of golfers who teed up for the Graeme Clement Open.  A few late scratching saw the field edu reduced but those who made it out on course enjoyed a generally still, sunny first 123 boles.  Everyone was in the rooms and enjoying a roast lunch by 12.30pm.  Top performances, under tough conditioned came from Michael Ladewig (Hidden Valley) – 49, Connor Whelan (Woodend) – 49, Matt Willis (Mt macedon) – 50.  The afternoon round saw the sun continue to shine, drying the course a little.  However, a gusting wind blew up from the W/NW and heavy hail followed by steady rain made the end of the round that bit tougher.  The club is very thankful to local electrical company NSEC Electrical who sponsored the day.  On another tough day out on course the results for the 24 holes were;
