Mackay and Whitsunday Life

On the Greens at Goosies

The new club uniforms have arrived and already many members are wearing them with pride.

Ladies’ uniforms are now the same design as the men, with a new top and bottle green shorts and long pants. I have heard many comments that a change was due, and the green pants are generally much preferred to the white ones.

Pennants games are commencing this weekend. Good luck to our three divisions.

Social Results Week Ending 17 April

Monday mixed pairs winners were Marie Bragg and Val DePinto. Isla Comelli and Ann Smith were second. Lucky draws went to Vic Gaudion and Pat O’Neill.

Wednesday Ladies winners were Lorna Bowers, Pam Louis, Anne Bailey with a +8.  Runners up were Daphne Offield, Shirley Bartolo, Fay Carson with a +3.  Several of our ladies played in our club championship pairs or B singles, on Wednesday, and Thursday morning, with finals coming up very soon.

Thursday mixed pairs draw was taken out by Peter Grant and Ian McDonald with Darren Addie and Jan Little winning the second draw. Peter Cowling won the kitty toucher. Greens vouchers were won by Fred King and Lance Edwards, and Vern Mietzel won the raffle.

Saturday men’s pairs winners were Mick Mackenzie and Clive Wales with Ian McDonald and Maurie Pearson coming second.
