Men’s golf results 25/7/2026
Saturday’s competition was a stableford round, generously sponsored by Drews Workshop Supplies Naracoorte. A big thanks to Matt Drew for handing us some very generous vouchers to spend in store. Numbers were slightly down on previous weeks, I think a bit of weather early in the day scared a few off. Conditions dried up by the afternoon though and some pretty decent scores were thrown together.
Winner of the A grade and in the form of his life was Layton Copping with an outstanding 38 points. The other inform player in the club Paul Mcgaw was runner up with another consistent round of 37 points. Other good scores went to Pete Justin with 35 points.
Winner of the B grade was Jamie Hartman who jagged a pretty handy 38 points. After scoring 20 points on the front 9 he was looking at a massive score. But his back 9 started a little shaky, until he made up for it with an excellent birdie on 17. Other good scores went to visitor Adam Hail and Ron Johnston with 32 points.
Nearest to the pin on 3 was Chas Gilkes, 12th was a little difficult and 16 went to Michele Justin. A grade progressive went to Chas Gilkes and B grade progressive went to Jamie Hartman.
On Sunday the pennants team headed off to Kingston to take on a strong Millicent side in the pennants semi-final. Conditions at Kingston were absolutely terrific, with barely a breath of wind and nice sunshine for the first 9. A couple small showers came through in the afternoon, so the umbrellas got a slight workout. Unfortunately the team went down by the barest of margins 4/3. Great wins to Brad Gear, Plugga and the ever-reliable Evan Pitt put the team in a good position. But the other 4 players Punter, Layton Copping, Paul Mcgaw and Kevin Baker couldn’t quite get over the line in their matches. The pennants final will now be played at Lucindale this Sunday, between Naracoorte and Millicent. The course is in fantastic condition at the moment and I know greenskeeper Tom will have the greens running extra slick for the big occasion.
This coming Saturday we have our August monthly medal, generously sponsored by Techwool Trading. Tee off at 11:30am. See you all on the course.
