Golf - Weekly Roundup 10/12/23

We start this week’s report with news from Cape Schanck Golf Club down on the Mornington Peninsula where Daryl and Wil Harrison took out the National Four Ball Matchplay earlier in the week.

After progressing through the semi-final in the morning with a win over the Tasmanian team Wil and Daryl took out a tense final against the NSW team with a 2up margin in a great effort given they were both giving up shots to their opponent who were off 27 & 35 handicaps.

For their trouble Daryl and Wil each won $500 golf vouchers and an assortment of other golfing apparel.

It could have been an even bigger day with Wil going within a metre and half of an ace on one of the par threes for which the prize was $75,000 cash or choice of either of two motor vehicles of similar value.

There was further good news for Valley View as Daryl, Wil and Mick Coyne also took out the teams’ event for the best aggregate score through the qualifying rounds which were played as a Stableford format. For that achievement they won a golf buggy for their home club.

Congratulations to Wil, Daryl and Mick on their success.

To the second round of the Summer Cup on Saturday and Jeff “Cobba” Carnie has shot to the Summer Cup lead after a red-hot round of 42 points at the weekend.

Jeff took out B grade by the resounding margin of five shots from runner-up Craig Larcombe who finished with 37 points.

It was a much closer affair in A grade with Mick Gallivan getting across the line with 39 points from Paul Kuiper and Bud Thorsen who both posted rounds of 38 points before the countback for runner up went Paul’s way.
