Valley View Golf Report Sunday Aug 21

An excellent field, that included a large number of visitors from various clubs, turned out for Saturday’s Cooper-Buckell 4BBB Stableford event producing a wide range of scores along the way.

Easily the best score of the day came from Colin Rangitonga and Ian Brown combining for the first time in a 4 Ball to finish with 44 points and a comfortable four-shot win in the men’s event.

Further back on 40 points Kyle Kydd and Shaun Bassett secured the runner’s up trophy in a three-way countback from the pairings of Gordon Mackay and Geoff Strachan and Mick Gallivan and Paul Kuiper.

The unlucky groups from the countback picked up balls in the ball comp along with Miles Gould and Mick Coyne, Daryl and Wil Harrison and Pooch McHale and Nigel Dow all with 39 points

A countback was also needed to find the ladies’ winners with Jenny Bauerle and Jan McHale getting the better of Helen Emery and Von Morris with both groups posting 41 points.

Wanda Hacon and Trudy Denham were the next best combination with 38 points winning a ball in the ball comp.

To the Par 3 holes and Nearest the Pin trophies were won by Pooch McHale (A grade), Paul Pappin (B) and Jenni Bauerle on the 3rd with Miles Gould (A grade) and Sean McDonell (B) picking up the trophies on the 12th. Thomas Pyke won the First Tea Voucher on the 15th.

Second shot balls went to Alan Hausler (9th) and Daryl Harrison (13th).

My records show (and I stand to be corrected) that this event has been running since 2012 which, if correct, would have made Saturday’s event the 15th edition. That is a big commitment to the club from Phil and John and their amazing support is greatly appreciated as this event grows bigger and better each year.

There was no golf on Tuesday after rain on Monday once again forced the course to be closed.

Next week’s event is the September Monthly Medal round.

Valley View Golf Report Sunday August 23

After another 10mm of rain on Wednesday that closed the course for two days, the Valley View track was again on the slow side for Saturday’s Par event.

In A grade Pooch McHale handled the conditions best finishing with 35 points and a one-shot win over Mick McAuliffe and Lawrie Casey who both finished with 34 points with the subsequent countback going the President’s way (as these things seem to do) as Lawrie missed out on a placing for the first time in three weeks.

B grade winner Laurie Radley also posted a round of 35 points as he got the better of Kevin Bauerle in a countback.

KB continues to grapple with his identity crisis as he moves back and forward between A & B grade with the same certainty/uncertainty as an on again off again middle east peace deal.

The best score of the day was logged by Jan McHale who had an excellent round of 38 points as she cruised to a comfortable win in the ladies’ event with Helen Emery finishing next best with 27 points.

Ball comp winners were Lawrie Casey with 34 points, Corey Browne (34), Paul Kuiper (33) and Nigel Dow with 32 points.

Another cheap day for the club on the par three holes with only two Nearest the Pin trophies claimed and they were won by Pooch McHale (3rd) and Miles Gould (12th).

Second shot balls went to Mick McAuliffe (13th) and Helen Emery (9th).

Tuesday’s winners were Peter Mangan in A grade with 34 points and Peter Lyon in B grade with 36 points while Miles Gould (33 points) and Geoff Strachan (34 points) were the respective runners up.

Balls went out to Albert Adams (33 points), Jeff Carnie (32), Mal Williams (32) and Paul Newman (32).

NTP the winners were Kevin Humbert (A grade 3rd), Mick McAuliffe (A grade 12th) and Daryl Harrison the First Tea voucher on the 15th while Kevin Baurle (9th) and Paul Newman (13th) won the second shot balls.

Don’t forget the Cooper-Buckell 4BBB Stableford event this Saturday with BBQ lunch from 11am, registration by 1130am and tee off at Midday. There will be a great range of trophies up for grabs and the entry fee (including lunch) is just $18.

Valley View Golf Report Sun 16 August 2026

Another Saturday, another Stableford event at the weekend with the Valley View track in good shape after soaking up another 50mm of rain earlier in the week that saw the course closed for three days.

Never the less, scoring was again on the modest side though Miles Gould made a return to the winner’s list in A grade with a round of 36 points as he finished two shots clear of runner up Rod Breen with 34 points.
It may not have been Miles’ best round with eight pars on his card and a birdie on the par sixth but he will take the win after missing a fair bit of golf recently.

Ian Brown also met the handicapper halfway with a round of 36 points and finished four shots clear in B grade with Paul Pappin the runner up with 32 points.

The feature of Ian’s round was his consistency with four pars and nine bogeys as he finished with a score on every hole.

A countback was required to separate Judy Greer and Gill Thorsen, both with 30 points, in the ladies’ comp with Judy emerging as the victor.

Ball winners on the day were Kyle Kydd with 32 points, Geoff Strachan (32) and Brendon Cornwall (31).

The club came out well in front on the Par 3 holes with the only NTP trophy winner being Rod Breen who won the First Tea voucher on the 15th while Laurie Radley won the second shot ball on the ninth.

As mentioned earlier the course was closed for the first half of the week so there was no golf on Tuesday.

I’m pretty sure next Saturday’s event will be (surprise, surprise) Stableford and a reminder the following week is the annual Cooper Buckell 4BBB.
