It was a stableford round sponsored by Elders Real Estate Clare Valley and Balaklava that greeted 49 players on Saturday with the entire field teeing off by 9:30 to avoid the forecast warm afternoon.

Conditions must have been favorable or was it people had gotten out of holiday mode because 31% of the field played to their handicap or better and 80% scored a minimum of 30 points. High quality golf.

Best of the day was young member Isaac Victor whose 41 points showed up Dad and Grandpa, well done to Isaac and all the young golfers who are out enjoying a hit.

In 2nd on countback also with 41 was Les Yates who being one of the last players kept the interest alive for those watching the leaderboard. 3rd was Matt Butler with 40 who pipped Karl Lewis on c/b and in 5th Troy Thiele on 39 who continues his red hot form.

Sorry no media this week, photographer refused to get out of bed early enough.

Shout out to Alex Nicholls who carded a magnificent 75 off the stick for 43 points whilst playing at the The Copperclub at The Dunes Port Hughes. Like many golfers Alex dreamt of single figures which she accomplished in early November 2024, well that is long gone. Her 75 saw the handicapper visit taking 2.2 for a new handicap of 6.8. Congratulations Alex.

Good Golfing!

Magpie & Stump Hotel Mintaro stableford round was the present for the 48 who came out for the post xmas comp, we had new clubs, new apparel and in some cases slightly bigger waistlines. Writer of this case in point.

Clinton Wood from Sandy Creek Golf Club had a day out with 42 points to beat home Chris Klinger on 40 who continues his impressive run just as Peter Henwood did with 40.
Well done, enjoy your Stump vouchers.

Low score of the day was Tim Jenkins with a 3 under 69.
