LAST Thursday the nine holers played stroke on the front nine holes at Marysville Golf Club and the winner was Lloyd Flaherty (9) with nett 37. Heather Jenkins (10) was a close runner up with nett 38. Lloyd won the nearest the pin on the fourth hole and Mark Alexander won on the ninth hole. The Saturday weather forecast for Marysville was for ‘25 mm of rain and strong winds’ which obviously put the fair-weather golfers off playing, but the small field in fact enjoyed 18 holes in reasonable weather with no rain and just a moderate wind. The golfers played a stroke round for the September monthly medal. The ladies’ medal winner was Sabrina Stow (25) with nett 74 on a countback from Gail Leigh (12). Peter Lilley (16) won the men’s medal with nett 73 from Keith Atwell (15) with nett 76. Just two of the four nearest the pins were won with Travers Stow winning on the ninth and Richy Clark on the 11th. Richy also won the Golden Shot. Peter Lilley won the putting. Members are reminded that the club AGM will be held next Saturday, September 12 at 8.45am in the dining room and are encouraged to attend this important meeting. The club raffle will be drawn at the AGM and all raffle tickets must be returned to Steve Coker before the meeting. After the AGM the men will play a stroke round for the final of the Barton Cup and the ladies will play a stableford game. The Captains Trophies will be presented after play to the daily winners. Qualifiers for the final of the ladies’ Barton Shield on Saturday, September 19 are Sabrina Stow, Gail Leigh, Lesley Rundle, Heather Jenkins, Beverley Bellman, and Fiona Wright. The Goulburn Valley Water Standpipe Cup is being held at Mansfield Golf Club on Saturday, October 3. It is an Ambrose game and two teams of four from Marysville will be playing in the event. Those members who are not travelling to Mansfield will play a stableford round at Marysville. Due to the Standpipe Cup the dates for the Marysville Men’s Championships are October 10, 17 and 24 and for the ladies the dates are September 26 and October 10, 17 and 24. (Best of three rounds). The mystery of the flippers found in the bin on the 16th tee as mentioned last week has unfortunately not been solved.
