Wednesday Ladies (At Narrows)
Atrocious conditions prevailed again today with the greens more like lakes,
but it did not affect Malo Duggan who won the 18 hole bogey round (all
square).
The best of the 9 holers were Jennie Higgins (1 down) and Sandra Berkers
(2 down) That's it for August and we have fingers crossed for better
conditions in September. Some hope!
Wednesday Vets
August 30: 14 players started in great conditions at Narrows, however the rain came and by the time the last groups finished the greens were flooded and the scoring reflected this.
Best gross- Ross Browne 79
Best stableford- George Rogan 37, closely followed by Malo Duggan on 36.
Hidden holes- Colin Vincent.
Payout- 29 points.
During August, there were fields of 15,11, 17 and 14 for Riverside veteran golfers with one Wednesday completely washed out and another day reduced to nine holes. As the weather improves hopefully the numbers will increase. For those of you who are interested in playing on a Wednesday
Tim Brooker and Ross Browne were consistently in the money.
Monthly report:
During August Riverside hosted two Waikato vet golf days. On August 7, despite dire weather forecasts, 49 players representing 15 clubs came to play at the Lochiel course. The course was in great condition and gained many great comments. Local golfer Ross Brown eclipsed the field with a sizzling 75 gross and Ngahinepouri members Warren Rodgers took out the stableford prize with 45 points.
Narrows hosted the Waikato District Veteran Golfers' Association AGM on August 14. Seventy-five golfers attended the meeting and 59 played the course afterwards. In fine and sunny conditions Alan Sarjant, from Waihi, topped the order with a gross 82 and association secretary Graeme Hill, Te Aroha, scored the best stableford with 38 points. Seventeen clubs were represented.
E Ruys & Co Midweek (Lochiel Course)
Nett Qualifier- Michael Liao 69
Nearest to pin- Jayden Cleary
Lucky card draw- Not Struck
The rain once again affected our regular midweek having only one player finishing and several pulling the pin after 9 holes, fingers crossed this wet weather comes to an end soon and we get some sunny days with some good numbers.
Thursday ladies (At Lochiel)
On Thursday, we had an interclub with Horsham Downs winning on the day but some great scores from all the players, thank you to all coming along we look forward to next time.
