Euroa Golf Club

Only 38 men contested the second round of the Nolan Trophy last Saturday, on a day that, fortunately, was rainless. Allan White, playing excellent golf, had a great 26-8-68 to win division 1 on a count-back. D Bowman 90-22-68 also won division 2. Peter Ellis, who won Wednesday's golf also shot a nett 68 to lose on a countback. Peter has been playing some pretty good golf of late, hope it keeps up for him.
Another two quarter-finals of the Euroa Cafe 4 Ball event were held during the competition on Saturday and Craig Morrison and Ray Day defeated Cam Roper and Brendon Redfern 3/2. The other match saw Grant Steers and Kevin Armour defeat Steve McKernan and Warren Austin 6/4. As mentioned Peter Ellis scored 38 points to win Wednesday's Stableford event from W Clarke and A White on 37 points. Another quarter final of the euroa Cafe 4 Ball was also played on that day and Greg George and Phill Mollison defeated Glen Byers and Ray Dore 3/2 to progress to the finals.
A lot of work was done last Saturday morning in digging up the old bayonets on certain fairways, this work being supervised by John Dewan and co. A great job was done by Keith Seeber, who put in several hours on the backhoe digging around all these bayonets and making the job much easier for all involved, Keith is an expert machine operator and does a great job. His expertise is greatly appreciated, along with the effort of all who assisted.
