Nagambie
The hot and dry conditions continued at Nagambie with plenty of run on the fairways making scoring on the longer holes somewhat less difficult than normal.
The winning score on the day went to Jeremy Ezard claiming his annual easy win with the pennant team away from the club.
Ezard shot (71-2) 69 to take the win ahead of Peter Lawrence, shooting (91-21) 70; closely followed by three nett 71s from Dave Fullager, Bill Leviston and Alby Seenan.
Two eagles were achieved on the day, with Tim Baldwin snagging one on the fourth, and Dave Fullager slamming one in on the 10th.
Nearest-the-pins went to Greg Baldwin on the third, Tim Baldwin on the eighth, Harold Rayner sticking it close on the 13th and Joe Labas thudding one home on the 16th.
The summer pennant team was away at Rich River, where the tough start to the season continued with Nagambie being comprehensively beaten by the huge handicaps of Tallygaroopna four and one.
The coming week’s golf is a stableford event with S. Bryant on office duty and B. Leviston in the bar.
Pennant will resume in a fortnight’s time.
