GOLF Weekly Report 2/3/25
A remarkably consistent round of 81-14-67 has taken Mick Gallivan to his first ever Monthly Medal win at the weekend.
Playing off a handicap of 14 the man they call “Buttons” barely made a mistake with nine pars and nine bogeys in his round setting up his win with six consecutive pars on holes three though nine as he put together a front nine of three over 39.
His round gave him comfortable three shot buffer from the B grade winner Kevin Wootten who was the club house leader for the medal with a score of 106-36-70 until Mick’s group returned to the clubhouse.
Kelly Cheong finished a shot further back in the Medal race with a round of 81-10-71 and took out the runner’s up trophy in A grade. His round of 81 also won him the ball for best gross score for the day.
The margin was four shots in B grade with John Burrows and Alan Hausler posting rounds of 104-30-74 and 94-20-74 respectively before the countback for runner up went John’s way.
Hausler’s round of 94 off the stick won him the B grade best gross score ball.
Sharon Harrison made a welcome return to form with a round of 101-26-75 and she took out the ladies’ comp by two shots from runner up Jan McHale who had a round of 99-22-77 on the day.
