For the MDVGA first official game for the year we had a rather Hot forecast for Gardiners Run. The management of Gardiners Run had informed us, that due to the forecasted hot weather they will not allow us a Shotgun start, but a 2 tee start from7:48am.
So we had 42 keen golfers turn up for the Challenging conditions, it didn’t take long for the heat to arrive. The course was in excellent condition, but the greens were a little on the slow side. We had 3 new members playing their first game: Gail Simpson from Sandringham, Paul Mathews from Rosanna and Peter Barter from Mandalay. Then we had 1 Visitor Andrew Livingston from Bairnsdale.
The A Grade Winner on the day was Bino da Silva (5) from Rosanna with 40 Points from runner up Bill Bussau (9) also from Rosanna with 39 points.
The B Grade Winner was Oscar Diaz (22) from Camberwell with 36 points from runner up Phil Moorby (31) from Northcote with 35 points on a countback from John Steen (21) from Kooringal also with 35 points.
