Trevor Bell Memorial Shield
Round 5 of the Trevor Bell was played at The Grange last Monday, 9th September. We entered the week about 20 points behind the leaders needing a strong showing to make up some lost ground. Although the winter winds were still lingering some of the players were belied the conditions to record some great rounds. Our best on the day was Peter Francis and George Vlatko who both scored 39 points and overall they finished 3rd and 4th respectively. They were well supported by Peter Young with a fine round of 35 points. The rest of the team put in solid performances with all players scoring more than 30 points.
That was the good news because everyone else seemed to find the conditions to their liking with some excellent results recorded. The top 6 teams on the day scored between 210 and 217 points so despite our good play we failed to make any impression on the leaders. Nevertheless with two rounds to go at Kiama and Shell Links, anything can happen. The next round is scheduled at Kiama on Monday 14th October. I would like to thank both Peter Young and Phil Gosling for filling in at late notice.
Something for you to remember….the winners at The Grange received their winning vouchers but they were disappointed to learn the vouchers could ONLY be redeemed at the Pro Shop at The Grange. This is a policy adopted by many of the other clubs in the Illawarra, except of course at Jamberoo, where you have the option of either spending your winnings at our Shop, or if you wish, you can opt to receive a gift card to spend your winnings elsewhere AS YOU LIKE.
This Week’s Winners
Another busy week at the course with some excellent rounds played in some very testing and windy conditions last weekend.
This weekend will be very busy with many Footgolf rounds booked (see the article preceding this one) as well as social golfers on Sunday. These are the lifeblood of our course so please be understanding if the noise level is greater than usual.
Above all enjoy your time on the most picturesque course on the coast.
