Veteran golfers head to Colac
CORANGAMITE veteran golfers travelled to Colac last Monday for the first round of the Corangamite Vets Championship.
Fifty-three players enjoyed the day, with the Colac course presenting many challenges but some good scores were recorded.
Congratulations to Algie White who hit an eagle three on the par five 14th hole and commiserations to Trev with an 11 on the par three third hole.
President Graham congratulated the daily winners but also showed some disappointment with the player numbers – in previous years there had been more than 80 players participating.
Results were as follows:
A grade – winner Peter Brain (Birregurra) net 70; runner-up Jeff Costin (Colac) 73; third Bernie Sinnott (Camperdown) 73; NAGA Allan Whithall (Colac) 81.
B grade – winner Neil Smith (Warrnambool) net 72; runner-up Bruce Waterson (Warrnambool) 73 on countback; third Tara Stewart (Winchelsea) 73; NAGA David Robinson (Colac) 95.
C grade – winner Kent Tomlison (Colac) net 70; runner-up Colin Venn (Terang) 71; third Garry Lafferty (Camperdown) 76; NAGA Greg Byrne (Cobden) 91.
