Home course advantage sees South East Golf Veterans win their annual challenge

A very large field of 94 contested the Annual Challenge match between the South East Golf Veterans and Glenelg at Millicent.

The host veterans won the shield with an average of 29.64 to their 28.44 showing the advantage of the home course. However Glenelg’s Peter Richards took out Division 2 with 41 points, from Peter Bateman 36 LSE, Tony Wilson 35 LSE, and Liz Nichol 35 Glenelg. Division 1 however was dominated by LSE Milan Hodak 36, Doug Robbins 36, Allan Schultz 36, and Terry Chant 36. This four way countback was unusual and took some time to decipher. The ball rundown went to 32 points and the schnitzel lunch was enjoyed by all.

The next outing is at Kingston on June 5 where the wind never bothers golfers then off to Bordertown on June 19.
