With patron limits lifted, it was great to see our clubhouse full and golfers enjoying the day.
The women played a stableford 4BBB with the winning pair of Moz Fowler and Jane Bow amassing a huge 48 points. Runners-up were Nagambie’s most enthusiastic golfer Irene Keogh and Avenel visitor Lyn Carracher, who produced a very tidy 43 points.
Nearest-the-pin prizes went to Fowler on the third and 13th with two stunners, Seymour visitor Jenny LeCerf scaring the hole on the eighth and Carracher with a lovely pitch on to the short 16th.
Happy campers: Seymour Golf Club men’s champions Ben Davey (B-grade), Mark Fountain (A-grade), Daniel Fleming (club champion) and Jerry Bender (C-grade).
The shock of the day took place in the men's Goulburn Cup open honour board event. Par 4BBB was the format, with two Nagambie golf club legends, characters and best mates taking home the spoils.
Life member Bill Leviston and president Jeff Lodding won on countback with +9. Their playing partners were heard saying “we were just witness to a master class of up the middle, up the middle all day“, proving power hitting is not always necessary. Congratulation Bill and Jeff.
Runners-up who were oh so close and only beaten by one hole on a last-nine countback were Alby Seenan and Terry Lowis, two players always able to find form at the right time.
Nearest-the-pins went to rare visitor Daniel Allen with a peach on the third, Peter Lawrence flaying one on to the eighth, Tim Baldwin a regular pin seeker on the 13th and Terry Lowis caressing the 16th.
The Nagambie Golf Club would like to thank our day's sponsor the Nagambie Rowing Club, all our ground staff volunteers with the course in excellent order and our lady caterers for a superb lunch. Next week's golf is a stroke monthly medal as well as the first round of the summer trophy. On office duty is G. Bow and in the bar P. Neville.

It was a stableford round on Wednesday for the women. Di Byrne (18) had 33 points to win on a countback from Liz Gee. The extra competition was the best nine in score and Byrne also won this with 19 points. The ball pool went to Byrne and Gee.
It was also the final of the silver spoon and of the three eligible to win, Sue McCall had the best round with 31 points. Unfortunately, there is no state final for the silver spoon this year, so McCall’s win is only for the glory!

Only two of the nearest-the-pins were claimed, on the sixth and 17th, with both going to Peter Sawyer. A score of 34 points was needed for the ball pool.
