Ken Bradley won 4/3
Pat Paris won 5/4
Chris Leckey lead by two holes
Mal Hoy was all square

Go the Roo!
Magpies gallant in defeat
A mathematical chance was our only hope in the final round. We needed to win and have the leading team, Moss Vale, get defeated by the bottom team.
Unfortunately Moss Vale won their match 7-0 and we lost ours 4-3.
That concludes the season for the Magpies who it must be said played some excellent matches over the season only to fall short in the end.
Thank you to the efforts of the team and to chief Pecker Larry Kent.
Last weekend also saw the end of an era for the Cowpats who were defeated in their last game to run second in their division. This team has made the finals every year since 2015 so it was sad to end a great run. Still next year awaits.
Thanks to all our 2023 Cowpats and to chief patty, Shane Townsend.
Big days at Jamberoo
Two very busy days at the course this weekend. Firstly, a very large field in the competition, with many visitors from the prospective semi-finalists playing a round to check out our course.
Secondly, the WIG and Champagne 9 was again very well attended with special guest Dave Sadd in attendance to give us the benefit of his experience and wisdom.
“The Champagne 9 team wish to publicly thank David Sadd for volunteering his time at our course to provide coaching tips to our group. This event occurred following the promotion of ‘Women in golf’ at the driving range in February in which some of our members participated.
Thanks also to Kris Morrison for co-ordinating this catch-up.”
Thirdly, the Illawarra Pennant and B Pennant semi-finals were played Sunday morning with a very high standard of play being demonstrated. In the Illawarra Pennant both Wollongong teams progressed to the finals with tight wins over their opposition. In the B Pennant The Wollongong club completed a big day with qualification to the final along with Kiama.
Thank you to Lance Fredericks, Shane Townsend and Bruce Hammond for all the help given today.
Please check your Cards at the end of your round
It is very disappointing when you find out you have been disqualified because you forgot to sign your card, or worse, if your marker forgot to sign.
We don’t enjoy it either when we check and find the mistake.
It is a simple thing to do, so please check the card before it goes in the box.
