MARTINBOROUGH GOLF CLUB NEWS
It has been a busy start to the year for the Golf Club beginning in January with the Spark Pro Am closely followed by the start of the interclub season.
The Mens interclub teams have had a mixed start to their year. Division 4 had a couple of away matches to begin their season which is always a tough way to start but they have now settled back into it with a couple of wins at home. It has been particularly pleasing to see a few players returning to interclub – namely Lance Phelps, Lyall Callaghan and Mark Lucock – these guys have added some strength to the team.
Division 11 have started the season with 4 very good wins at home and are at the top of the division with a couple of tough away matches in the next few weeks.
The course has been very busy this month with green fees and overseas visitors enjoying the great weather and the exceptional run on the fairways.
The last few weeks have seen some incredible scores. The Ladies had their first Shoot Out qualifying round with Lyle Griffiths coming in with a nett 58, Robyn Blackett nett 63, Sylvia Beavis and Netia Morison nett 65 and Julie Weber, Adele Cairns, Sandra Petersen and Marion McKenzie nett 67. Nearest the pin on #6 was Sandra Petersen and on #8 Ju Allen. Two’s went to Julie Dondertman, Sandra Petersen and Ju Allen.
The following week was also a nett round with Diana Donald coming in with a nett 63, Marion McKenzie, Adele Cairns and Sherry Weatherstone nett 65. Nearest the pin on #6 Adele Cairns and #8 Netia Morison. Two’s went to Adele Cairns, Sherry Weatherstone and Sue Dinnison.
The Ladies Interclub has also started with the Bronze division having some very close matches and the Silvers having some tough away matches.
