Mens & Ladies Weekly Golf Reports 15/6/25
SATURDAY: The recent wintry conditions and subsequent lack of run on the course has really taken its toll on scoring in recent weeks with just one player bettering his handicap at the weekend.
That player was John Burrows who took out B grade with 37 points from Paul Dickens who had the second-best round of the day claiming the runner’s up trophy with 35 points.
Paul Kuiper headed the A grade field with 33 points taking a one-shot victory from newly signed member in Alex Kydd who put together 32 points and fended off Mick Gallivan in a count back for the runner’s up trophy.
The highlight of Paul’s round was his tee shot to within four feet of the cup on the 3rd, narrowly missing out on a dozen jackpot balls, but sinking his putt for birdie.

LADIES WEDNESDAY GOLF:
Fog and very chilly weather greeted the small contingent of Valley View women who hit off in the PAR round last Wednesday.
With only one grade for the day, it was the low markers who had the best scores, although they were below par. Jenni Bauerle with 3 down, was the winner one shot ahead of Leanne Busch with 4 down. Bauerle also picked up the nearest the pin.
It was definitely a tough day at the office.
Friday 27th June is our new date for our Menzies Bowl which was postponed in March. We look forward to welcoming golfers from across the GMGA for the 58th edition of our Club’s Bowl.
