It was a day of glamour, good humour, and great golf as players turned out for the club’s Melbourne Cup event, where the racing may have been on the screen, but the competition was fierce on the fairways.
Congratulations went to those lucky enough to win a share in the Melbourne Cup sweeps, and a big thank you was extended to everyone who helped make the day such a success — from those who donated food and prizes to the volunteers who kept things running smoothly.
The ever-popular Best Hat competition saw plenty of creativity on display, with Leanne Alexander and Barry Shuwalow taking out the honours for their standout race-day style.
On the course, conditions were hot and so were the scores. In the Stableford event, Tina Badenhorst topped the ladies’ field with 38 points, edging out Anna Winterbourn on 37. The rundown went to Robyn Whitham (34), Jenny Hounsell (33), and Leanne Alexander and Paula McQuat who both carded 32.
In the men’s division, Larry Muller led the way with 37 points, ahead of Peter Lindsay on 35. The rundown included John Grosskreutz (35), Ken Granger, Gary Scotford, Jim Sherrington, and Laurie Dakin all with 34, followed by Gerald Lovell (33) and both Nick Apruzzese and Barry Mortimer on 32.
Pin shots were claimed by:
Ladies: A Grade – Jenny Hounsell, Leanne Alexander (2); B Grade – Paula McQuat (2), Anna Winterbourn
Men: A Grade – Larry Muller, Norm Foster, Gary Scotford; B Grade – John Oates, John Strelec (2)
Chip-ins went to Gary Scotford and Mark Richards.
A terrific day all round — full of laughter, great golf, and a touch of Melbourne Cup magic.
