THE final round of junior pennant competition was completed on Sunday February 11. While not as successful as they had hoped in terms of wins and losses, team manager Steve Cogger reports that they consistently played in the true spirit of golf, never giving in and displaying outstanding sportsmanship. Thank you to our team of Jack Martin, Max Edmanson, Nick Unsworth, Sophie Hood, Jamie Schreuder, Hannah Mawson and Max Mawson for representing Portarlington. Men\u2019s Pennant starts on Sunday March 18 and Women\u2019s Pennant starts on Monday March 5. Best wishes and good golfing to all our pennant players for successful seasons.<\/p>\n
Tuesday February 20, Men\u2019s Par<\/strong> Wednesday February 21, Ladies\u2019 Stableford<\/strong>
\nA windy day didn\u2019t deter 156 men from entering, and John Powe\u2019s new shoulder didn\u2019t deter him from scoring a mammoth +8 to clean-up the day (what will he do when he gets the other one done?) and C Grade from Tony McLeod\u2019s +5. Max Edmanson also scored +5 to top A Grade by a shot from Brian Hazell, Ian Fraser was best B Grader with +3 on a countback from Peter Kavanagh, and Steve Scott headed D Grade with +4 by a shot from John Cleary. The pinshots were played by Max Edmanson, Matthew Barnes and Jim McGrath, and Josh Kent collected the ProPin.<\/p>\n
\nA good roll-up of 71 ladies enjoyed the day, with Jeanette Johnson following up some very good recent form with a Trophy of the Day score of 38, also winning B Grade on a countback from Jacqui Murrihy. Jeanette\u2019s effort also scored her the coveted \u201cGrannies Trophy\u201d. Marg Burchell and Helen McDonald topped A Grade with 36, and Jan Rain was best C Grader with 38 from Judy Fox\u2019s 34. The NTPs were won by Sue Hazell and Joyce Vagg, and the ProPins by Nancy Hendy (0-25) and Kath Howes (26-45).<\/p>\n
