Today 24 ladies played a Single Stableford. Overnight the course had received quite a heavy shower of rain and the lovely run we had last Thursday had disappeared and this was reflected in the scores returned. The greens were still running true and some great putts were made.

Winner today was Fiona Almond with a lovely score of 37 which included several 4 pointers and a 5 pointer on the 3rd hole. Well done

Runner Up was Helen Evans with 36 points, very creditable on the wet course.

NTP. 7th hole – Div 1 Pat Hodda; Div 2 Diane Hughes

16th hole – Div 1 Alison Blair; Div 2 Pauline Benny

Pro Pin was won by Liz Edwards $24.

Raffle winners were : $20 Liz Edwards; $15 Dot Robertson,

$10 Kaye Mills, Diane Hughes. Coral Rasmussen.

Have a lovely week Ladies and we’ll see you next Thursday for our Foursomes Championships, weather permitting.

A Fond Farewell to Charlie

Finally, we would like to wish Charles “Charlie” Paton all the very best as he prepares to leave us next week and head home for family commitments.

Charlie is currently leading the Men’s A Grade Club Championship after three rounds, and he has also been an important member of the Men’s Division 6 winning team.

Charlie has certainly made his mark, both on and off the course, and we’re sure everyone will join us in wishing him safe travels and all the very best for what lies ahead.

Good luck, Charlie! We hope to see you back with us again soon. You will certainly be missed!

Well the rain GODS allowed us to get our open day in. A bit breezy and cold.

A good time was had by members and visitors.

Vets championships coming up, 7th and 14th September, must have played 5 games since last championships to be eligible.

Good golfing and mental health.

Cheers Capt. Dave. (red o`clock)

Sunny Skies & Solid Scores

After what feels like enough rain to qualify as a water-sports tournament, the sun finally decided to join us! It was glorious to see blue skies overhead, the fairways looking inviting and golfer’s balls actually running on the fair way rather than running for cover.

A huge thank you to the greens staff at Club Banora for presenting such a beautiful course for the 2026 Club Banora Golf Championship. The course was looking fantastic, and clearly all that hard work behind the scenes is paying off. Great job, team!

🏆 Winners by Division

Division 1

Aaron Garland produced a terrific nett 68 off a handicap of 6, taking the Division 1 honours and the $50 voucher. David Killion followed with a solid 70 off 8, claiming the runner-up spot and a $35 voucher. 🏌️‍♂️ The Temu Putter Has Arrived!

A special mention has to go to Michael Kemp, who appears to have discovered the secret to golf: buying a putter from Temu! 😂

Armed with his new bargain-basement weapon, Michael promptly went out and made four birdies. Four! At this rate, the greens staff may need to start checking whether the putter is actually legal or whether Temu accidentally sent him a tour prototype.

Whatever the price tag, the results speak for themselves. Four birdies with the new Temu wand — that’s one way to get your money’s worth! 🐦🐦🐦🐦

Division 2

John Tannahill took out Division 2 with an excellent 70 off a handicap of 29, earning the $50 voucher. Rick Downes was close behind with 71 off 24, securing the runner-up prize and a $35 voucher. Well played!

It was good to see preferred lies off and the course slowly bouncing back. Next week, players will have the option to either continue in the Championship or opt out and play the single Stableford competition.

Bring on more sunshine, more birdies and, hopefully, fewer three-putts! ☀️🏌️‍♂️
