Whatever the town, whatever the sport, whatever the opposition, this amount of individual championships is a feat rarely achieved. 

Her rounds of 83, 80 and 82 gave her a comfortable 14 shot margin over runner-up Maryanne Fitzgerald.

In the handicap division Alexa Preston was a deserving winner with three consistent rounds of netts 71, 72 and 69.

Saturday’s Kruger trophy winner was Jeanette with nett 70 followed by Alexa nett 72, Maryanne nett 73 and Toni Filmer nett 74.

Sunday’s trophy and medal winner was Maryanne who improved with each round to finish the championship with a fine 82 for nett 67.

Ball winners were Alexa nett 69, Jeanette nett 72 and Toni nett 74.

Men’s golf

A field of 26 men played last Saturday’s August monthly medal stroke event for the Thompson’s Rural trophy. 

On a day when most players struggled it was left to a couple of imported players to fight out ownership of the trophy.

Ex-Scotsman Tam Kennedy’s 69 nett prevailed over ex Englishman Graham Martin-Dye after a countback to claim the trophy and the B grade medal. Graham gained some consolation by winning the A grade medal with his 69 nett.

The ball competition went down to 75 nett with balls going to Peter Steinke, Bernie Parker, Brian Treddinick, Darrell Cassidy, Craig Henman and Ron Page. Robert Bates was the winner of the prize for nearest the pin on the 10th hole.

The Dempster Cup matchplay event saw Brian Wales advance to the semi-finals when he defeated Geoff Bates 1 up. Brian joins Doug Baker and Eric Kuhn in the semi-finals with one quarter final still to be decided.

High School 

Fantastic to see Murrumburrah high school offering students the opportunity to try golf for sport and exercise. 

With the increasing age of our current crop of golfers these youngsters should be encouraged as their participation is important for the future. 

Any donations of no longer used equipment in reasonable condition will go a long way to providing such encouragement.

Midweek competition

Twenty nine rounds were played in last week’s 12 hole stroke competition. 

Bill Kildea benefitted from the experience gained on the recent trip to the South Coast to shoot a 38 nett and claim the weekly winner’s cheque. Runner-up to Bill was Val Kerrison with a 39 nett followed two strokes further back by Jim Wright and Peter Steinke.
