North Adelaide (South Course) July 2023 – Lyndon Prior takes the Prize

Golf in the City, Lyndon Prior takes the Prize ! A full field enjoyed great weather for this keenly contested competition at North Adelaide’s South Course.

It seems that this course keeps getting better with the greens now very good compared to a few years ago and, considering the amount of traffic, the course in general is in great shape.

There was a bit of confusion about which tees the men should be hitting off but we sorted this out amicably during and after the game.

1st = Lyndon Prior 38 pts

2nd = Wolf Engel 36 pts

3rd = Chris Skewes 34 pts

As usual, the next 6 place-getters also received a ball each.

Nearest The Pins:

Note that the handicap split was lifted to roughly split the groups evenly.

5th 0-22HC: Benn Cox 2.5m, 23+HC: Nobody

6th 0-22HC: Wolf Engel 1.0m, 23+HC: Frank Sampson 3.0m

12th 0-22HC: John Elliott 2.7m, 23+HC: Alberto Ambrogi 5.5m

16th 0-22HC: Nobody, 23+HC: Kathy Cunynghame 12.0m

Our next round is on Sunday 20th August at The Vines of Reynella GC

South Lakes 2021 Vera Mortimer Victorious – Again !

Great spring weather for the 31 members who made the trip down south to challenge this well-maintained seaside course in Goolwa. It has a good mix of challenging holes with water hazards and well-placed bunkers ready to swallow any errant shots !

Back to the Corio Hotel for the presentations after the game, where the food was great and the staff friendly, although we were a little squashed in.

First = Vera Mortimer with 39 points

2nd = Rob Mulder with 37 points

3rd = Liz Wedge with 36 points (on a hole-by-hole count-back, bad luck Tony Harrison !)

The next 6 place-getters also received a ball each.

NTPs:

5th 0-19HC: Graeme Wheare 3.8m, 20+HC: Annette Pearce 7.0m

8th 0-19HC: Wolf Engel 4.1m, 20+ HC: Mark Duerden 5.5m

10th 0-19HC: Marcus Kernahan 6.5m, 20+HC: Nobody

15th 0-19HC: Marty Goldsworthy 6.0m, 20+ HC: Nobody

See you all at Clare in November.

Sandy Creek – Match Report

May 21st saw 23 SAOGA members teeing off on a crisp morning at Sandy Creek.

With a small field and a tight course, scoring was very close. Taking the honours was Benn Cox on 37 points, with Jim Stobie (2nd) and  Ethan Ellis (3rd) with 36 points each (on count back, additional two players on 36 points).

The Summer Match Play cup was also presented with Mike Willis taking the spoils form John Elliot (2nd ) and Andrew Reid (3rd). The Winter Match Play comp kicks off in June.
