Men’s Report

Well Done!!! The Men’s team Country Week team have managed to win the Plate at this year’s Country Teams Event held in Mildura at Mildura Golf Club, Red Cliffs Golf Club and Riverside Golf Club.

Winning their First 3 rounds 5-2, 5.5-1.5, 4.5-2.5, and losing their final round 2-5. The first 3 rounds set up a strong position, with a bye in the final round. Golf Central was the only team who could catch South Gippsland, but with a halved result in their final round it wasn’t enough to catch us.

Pictured (L-R) are Roy Fleming (Team Manager), Levi Perkins, Michael Thomas, Jack Jacobsen, Matt Wrigley, Steve Bromby (Captain), Jye Kruyer, Isaac Batty, Chris Buckland, Aron Morris, Wayne Kennedy (Assistant Manager)

congratulations to all involved. and a big thank you to our sponsors #Agwarehouse #haymespaint #jackgilchrist area Specialist.

Women’s Report

Overall a very good result for the women’s team.

This year we had only two who had ever played Country Teams, so the rest were very inexperienced but boy did they perform well despite facing opponents with much lower handicaps and years of experience.We lost each day which is a bit disappointing but most games went to at least 17th so very close.

We now have a group of girls who have tasted Country teams and love the challenge of it, know where they are and how to reach that standard.

We had incredible support from caddies who came on the journey with us and provided as much help as they could during matches we thank them sincerely for this.

Women’s Country Week Teams Report

Great weather at Clifton Springs for Day 1 of Country Teams. The morning round was against West Gippsland – fast out of the blocks for us & a great win of 6/1.

The afternoon round was a ‘tight turnaround’ against the local district of South Western. They were tough opposition on their ‘home patch’ and we were narrowly defeated 4/3. It is an afternoon hit off tomorrow and we are up against Dalhousie at Curlewis.

Another fine day for Country Week Day 2 – a cool wind with sunshine glimpses had most keeping their ‘layers’ on. 

Day 3 saw us playing East Gippsland in the last round of the event at The Sands Torquay. We hit off the 10th Tee with an 8.25am start against East Gippsland who, like us, had 2 wins. All matches were very tight through the morning’s play. Four matches went to the 18th hole, with 3 squares and a narrow loss and then 3 fabulous wins finshing on the 16th and 17th holes. This gave us the 4.5 to 2.5 win and secured Runners Up. Despite having the most matches won and least lost we came up just a game short of South Western.
