Penneshaw
Men’s Open
On Sunday September 21, in perfect conditions, a quality field of 35 players lined up for the Penneshaw Open.
In the absence of Barry Wheaton, Kangaroo Island’s answer to Tiger Woods, the title was up for grabs.
The beautiful course was in immaculate condition and it was no surprise to see some excellent scores.
Victory went to Penneshaw Captain Keith Roberts who played outstanding golf to card 70, just one shot outside his own course record.
Runner up was flamboyant B grader, Rob Coleman with 71. Maybe the Handicapper will finally catch up with the big fella!
Rob’s score was helped by a magnificent Eagle on the sixth which was matched by Simon Murray’s on the seventh.
Greg Church and Des Gray both had 72s with Des’s golf improving dramatically when he rid himself of the baggage which impeded his performance in the previous day’s mixed Pinehurst.
B Grade winner was Penneshaw stalwart Trevor Griffith with a hard fought 75 to defeat Runner Up Brian O’Shaughnessey.
Also in B Grade Specks Collins attempted a mighty drive to win the Long Drive. He certainly hit it a long way but unfortunately it disappeared down the middle of The Lane.
Not one to be discouraged he tried again with the same result, before finally hitting a ball on to the actual golf course!
C Grade was won by the eccentric Duane Pring who has apparently modelled his approach to golf on that of the great John Daley. His stamina over the course of 18 holes is quite astonishing!
C Grade runner up was Greg Miller.
The veterans was won by John Jenkins.
The Penneshaw Golf Club would like to thank our wonderful sponsors: Sealink, Carey Contracting, Carey Supplies, Dudley Wines, McIlroy Auto Group, KI Seafront Resort, Hog Bay Stores, Penneshaw Hotel and Aurora Ozone Hotel.
Kingscote Ladies 11/9/008
Only 12 players out to tackle a par competition but with some great scores being recorded.
Division 1 winner - Jenny Clifford with eight up.
Runner up - Heather Gray with seven up.
Now you would have to think seven up was unbeatable but no Jenny had to come in one better!
Division 2 winner - Ashley Blucher four up
Runner up - Leanne Parker all square, hits the ball a long long way but she is a bit of a tree hugger, just another one to add to the other 200 or more we already have, behind them, into them, up them, not fussed just can’t stay away.
Jenny Clifford was nearest the pin on six and 14. (she was really on fire). Judy Bell chipped in on number two (for a birdie), also 12. Other birdies - Heather Gray on 16 and Joy Florance on 17.
Jenny broke from 19 to 18 and Heather 17 to 16.
And Judy won the wheel, smarty pants!!
