1° Lucindale Golf Tournament results By Shawn Menz On Saturday we saw plenty of high scores for four ball better ball competition sponsored by case IH silvan. Apart from some late rain the weather was excellent for golf and the scores reflected that. Many thanks to Sir John Telfer from case and Aiden from silvan for playing the whole weekend. Winning the A grade was the highly fancied pairing of Mally Graetz and Shawn Menz with a solid 46 points. Runner up on 45 points was the ever consistent pair of Evan Pitt and Geoff Smith. Other good scores were Ben Semple and Ben Slack with 44, Layton Copping and Grant Higgins on 43, David Cox and Lyndon Cox with 42, Jack Handbury and Will Myles 42, Danny Lane and Matt Willis 42 points. A special mention goes out to Echunga local Ben Slack for managing a spectacular eagle on […]

By Rosie Legoe Last week was the 2nd round of President’s trophy & Olympics with a Stableford competition generously sponsored by Wild Game Wines, thank you very much Mary & Guy. Our members are very grateful for your inaugural sponsorship & the prize winners were envied by all. Wild Game Wine’s 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (The Duke) & Shiraz (The Dame) have both received huge accolades from Winestate Magazine & recently raving reviews from QWine quoting “It’s quite the class act for the money”. How fortunate that we can all source & enjoy these wines & cheese platters from their cellar door @ our front door in Naracoorte! It was wonderful seeing Sally Macdonald back playing golf & we enjoyed having Michelle Dupree & Sammy Kiefel joining in. Despite the frosty morning we all welcomed the clubhouse fire (thank you Issie) as well as the sunshiny day. A Grade Winner was […]

By Bridging the Gap The Naracoorte Bridge Club is a great opportunity to play competitive bridge however it’s also nicely social & this was highlighted when our venue was unavailable recently & at the 11th hour & our quick thinking President, Jill Redway generously offered her home for the 22 players.  Our members are also indebted to Sue Hood who continues to offer the odd workshop, last week it was about how to best play a No Trump hand & it was heartening that 2 players used their lesson well on Thursday at the club.  Well done to Yvonne Hegarty & Mary Lush who both separately bid No Trump hands, achieved their contracts & top scored in their direction. Twenty ladies played last week, N/S winners were Jenny Clark and Rosie Legoe followed by Christine McDonald (special birthday girl) and Helen Cox.  Congratulations to E/W winners Janet Ottoson and Sylvia […]

By Sally MacLeod Last Wednesday, 18 ladies competed in a Par round very generously sponsored by Sweet Expresso. The winners received lovely gift boxes which they were delighted with. A big thank you to Aimee and her husband for sponsoring the ladies competition. Par is a very non-forgiving competition and the scores certainly reflected this! Di McCully, playing beautiful golf once again (if only we could all be as consistent as her!), won the A grade with +1 and she also scored a nearest the pin on the 16 th hole. The runner up was yours truly with – 3! This reflected the scoring on the day! The B grade winner was Susie Mort with -1 on a count back from Di Mcinnes and Mary Staude. Di and Mary were therefore recipients of golf balls in the ball rundown. Nearest the pin on the 7 th , sponsored by Naracoorte […]
