A REGULAR happening at the Portarlington Golf Club is the charity days, and we have already started the ball rolling this season with more than 80 starters in both the Lions Club event on October 20, and the Red Cross event on October 23. These events prove to be very popular with golfers, as apart from the most worthwhile charities they support, are most enjoyable social golfing days with great food and prizes usually a part of the occasion. The next one is the \u201cMission to Seafarers\u201d on November 20: 9am shotgun start, a Stableford event for both ladies and men with great prizes and lunch included in the $40 entry fee. For more info phone the Pro shop, entries close on November 13.<\/p>\n

\nWith the greens being renovated on Tuesday, this became the mens main day for the week, although the rain kept many potential starters away. However, there were 60 diehards, and Len Banicevic did best with 40 points, to also top B Grade from a 37 by Rob Stiglbauer. Allan Hall\u2019s 38 was the best A Grade score, 1 point ahead of Brendan King. The NTP\u2019s were won by Leighton Hamblin, Brian Kelly and Arthur Johnson, and Leigh Wilson got the ProPin.<\/p>\n
