When we arrived at the Heritage Country Club the weather was quite a chilly 8 degrees, with some low fog around and many Kangaroos lining the driveway in. The management at the Heritage informed us, that due to our numbers we could only use Hole 1 to 12, so we had to reshuffle some groups around. After the briefing from Naiomi it was off in our carts to our allocated Tee’s.
We had 47 golfers play at the St Johns course, the cloud cover hung around for a while, but the sun came out for pleasant day of Golf. The course was in excellent condition with the greens being very true for putting. We had 2 new members playing their first game: Andrew Livingston from Bairnsdale and Greg Blake from Rosanna. Then we had 4 Visitors Peter Grace & Derek Jury from Heidelberg and Peter McCormack & Joe Gehrig from Kew.
The A Grade Winner on the day was Max VanHelden (18) from Kew with 38 Points from runner up Shane O’Connell (15) from Latrobe with 37 points on a countback from Peter Hayward (9) from Waterford Valley.
The B Grade Winner was Margaret Harbinson (33) from Heritage with 35 points from runner up Ross Parks (25) from Northcote on 34 points.
The NTP’s: Hole 3 – Brian Scott (Latrobe), Hole 7 – John Fellows (Lakeside Albert Park)
Hole 11 – Peter Hayward (Waterford Valley), Hole 17 – Ken Baddeley (Kingston Heath)
