Hoiles wins veterans' golf
JOHN Hoiles finished on a score of 37 points to win A grade of the Veterans’ golf competition at Birregurra earlier this month.
Forty-five veterans enjoyed the competition at the Birregurra Golf Course on May 13, with only one player playing to their handicap.
As with all courses in the area, Birregurra was dry but the greens have been well looked after.
Niagra is always an impressive hole to play and was the showcase hole of the course.
Des Read (Birregurra) was the A grade runner-up on 34 points while Mortlake’s Kevin Etherton finished third on 33.
NAGA for A grade was Bruce Waterson (Warrnambool) on 16 points.
B grade was won by Tara Steward (Winchelsea) on 34 points, followed by Eliz Alston (Winchelsea) on 32, with Peter Collihole third on 32.
NAGA for B grade was Terang’s Terry Coolahan on 17 points.
The next round will be played at Lake Bolac on Tuesday, May 27.
Please note this date has been changed from the Monday to the Tuesday.
As for changes to the 2025 schedule, the event for Skipton on Monday, May 23, has been changed to Mortlake – please note this in your diary.
New players are always welcome to join the vet golfers.
