DEEP CREEK GOLF

Rare beautiful weather greeted players at Deep Creek Golf Club on Saturday as golfers enjoyed the sun in a great change from the cold weather of recent times.

The warmer conditions certainly brought out some great scoring and none better than Suzanne Van Strien (10) who played a magnificent round of golf to finish with a whopping 42 points and a clear win in A Grade.

Van Strien had a huge week of golf, being part of Golf West Gippsland’s Country Week winning team at Mooroopna and Shepparton last week.

Everyone at Deep Creek would like to congratulate Suzanne, and Delanie Lewis, on being a part of the winning team.

Dean Jones (15) fired an impressive 37 points to finish runner up in A Grade, while David Bell (21) played brilliantly for his 39 points and a comfortable B Grade win.

Bell fished two clear of Brenton Hollingworth (27) that had the highlight of his round with an eagle on the par-four 13th hole.

Down the lines on Saturday went to Graham Brennan 37, ‘Nifty’ Neville Taylor 36, Michael Anlanger and Shane Franzi 35 and to Stephen Northcott, Brett McGee and Matt Lloyd with 34 points.

Nearest the pins went to 2nd Hole: Scott Irwin (1.3m) and 16th Hole: David Bell (1.2m).

Monday’s stableford event also saw some solid scoring with Ron Parsons (28) scoring 37 points to win by three shots from Michael Banger (27).

Down the lines went to Les Jones, Tom McDermott and Stewart MacDonald with 34 points, Heath Barclay with 33 and John Hutcheon on 32 points.

Nearest the pin went to Harry Elyasie (3.10m) on the second hole.

Chris Dalton (23) proved to be best of a strong field of Wednesday golfers, signing off on 38 points for a one-shot victory over Heath Barclay (9).

Down the lines went to Gordon Edwards 34, Tom McDermott and Ross Stewart 33, Phil Mott 32 and Murray O’Dwyer with 31 points.

The SuperComp Back 9 winner was Gordon Edwards with a very impressive total of 21 points.

Nearest the pins went to: 2nd: Heath Barclay (4.40m) and 16th: Tony Penney (1.04m).

And Harry Elyasie (6) produced an almost faultless round of golf on Sunday, scoring 40 points off his low mark to win by six shots from Brett Nowlan with one shot back to Simon Fay on 33 points.

The October Monthly Medal will be played this Saturday 8 October.
