Martinborough Golf Club

It is hard to believe that we are now in July – this year is flying by.  It is certainly very nice to see the sun shining – the course looks wonderful at the moment.

It has been a reasonably quiet month on the course which is hardly surprising due to the amount of rain we have had but there are a few hardy souls who will go out in all conditions.

Recent winners for the 18 holers have been Marilyn MacKenzie, Marion McKenzie, Sandra Petersen and Julie Weber.  Sandra and Honor Clark are the only ones who have had twos over the last few weeks.

9 hole winners have been Debbie Coom (twice), Leonie Wilde and Jenny Joblin.

Recent Grumpies winners have been Bill Gordon, Rick Hargreaves and Jason Shaw.  Twos have gone to Ed Brown (2), Malcolm Wood, Tony Taylor, Seamus O’Sullivan, Peter Schenk, Brian Russo and Rick Hargreaves.

Thursday Club players are a hardy lot – nothing seems to deter them!!!  Recent winners have been Trevor Petersen, Bill Gordon, Kheinan Morrissey and Ed Elworthy.  Twos have gone to Malcolm Wood (2), Shane Hislop (2), Bob Schofield, Trevor Petersen, Mike Charteris, Sandra Petersen, Stu Taplin, Ed Elworthy and Jason Shaw.

Weekend winners have been John Warner (three times), Bevan Sweeney (twice), Chris Brooks (twice) and Doug Clark.  Twos have gone to Guy Walmsley, Dayle Harwood and Brian Russo.

The Interclub boys had their final round of Marquis Shield last week – they didn’t bring home the Marquis Shield but they did win the Workman Trophy (Senior singles match play – off the stick).

The ladies still have one round of Riverside Cup and Tilson Salver to play but they have already won the Tilson Salver as they cannot be caught.

That’s it for another month – not much happening on the course over the next few weeks.  Here’s hoping for less rain and more sunshine.
