Pennants

Both the No2's and the No6"s were at home this weekend. Due to the wild storm that ripped through town both matches were suspended after 16 ends. The remaining ends are to be played at a later date.

Last Wednesday the Gloucester Golf ladies held their annual Beginners' Day event to welcome new players.

The event was a team ambrose event over nine holes, with each beginner placed in a team with two or three regular players. There was a great turnout of 19 players there to have fun and to get to know each other.

The winning team was Liane Markey, Dorothea Betts, Rhonda Nightingale and Carolyn Davies with a score of 32 net (for nine holes). It was only one shot to the next team, with balls going to the team of Vicki Coombes, Anne Maggs and Dale Rabbett (on 33 net). The group then shared morning tea and a few stories about the best/most amusing shots of the day (and of the putts that were 'that close' to going in).

This Wednesday is opening day with a stableford event. Visitors from Emerald Downs and Harrington Waters are joining us for the day - as they enjoy playing on our great course.

The Super Sevens for the week ending Friday, March 1 attracted a big crowd and the winner was Dave Mann with 17 points. It was a tight crowd of ball-winners with just two points separating all seven winners: Craig McLeod, Dave Mann and Jim Dunn 16, Wayne Maddalena, Graham Hjorth, David Hjorth and Steve Yates 15.

On Saturday, March 9 the Gloucester Golf Club will be playing an Individual Stableford sponsored by Leveltec and the following week there will be another individual Stableford.

In spite of the hot and humid conditions, nine people achieved PBs at Saturday's Gloucester District parkrun: Phineas Hester, Matt Eisenhuth, A J Fry, Elana Pope, Isabella Fisher, Kaitlyn Beggs, Rosemary Knudsen, John Rosenbaum, Robyn Beggs. Thanks to those parkrunners who visited our course from Newcastle and Raymond Terrace, and local tourists from Booral.
