Next weeks competition is the Tully Park Monthly Medal and Stroke competition, with a trophy donated by John and Anne Pigott. Don’t forget the foursomes championships are looming large, to be played on August 10th and 11th. The Tully Park AGM is also coming soon – August 25th at 1pm with a sausage sizzle linch.

The progressive competition fell to Scott Nolan, who collected a Kev’s Meats voucher. Scott also won the Drive and Pitch on the 9th hole, while Gary Spence was nearest to the pin on the 11th green.

Don’t forget that Tully Park 2013/14 memberships are now due and are still the best value golf membership around. Members fees are only $220 this year or $150 if you are a pensioner (with a $5 discount if you are a member of the Goulburn Soldiers Club). Juniors (11-18 years old) and Sub Juniors (10 years and under) are only $85 and $30, respectively. Members can gain an official Golf Australia handicap and can play all day every day for free.

Ah yes the sorrowful call of the foursomes golfer. Its good to play foursomes with a mate, who knows that you really don’t mean to ruin his day on the course, and who generally doesn’t mean to ruin yours. Brian Mills and Bill McMahon worked all that out years ago, and this week combined beautifully to easily win the American Foursomes competition at Tully Park this week. With a nett score of 60.75, Billsy and Millsy were 5 shots clear of the next pair, Ken Wray and Don Grimston on 65 (another pairing with sorry experience in foursomes). Popeye Tozer and Craig Langby were next with 63 .375, followed by Charlie McDonald and Greg Hosking on 71. Brian Mills also won the nearest to the pin on the 14th hole, while Charlie McDonald claimed nearest on the 15th. Russell Lieschke won the weekly raffle. Sorry.

Next Sunday at Tully Park is the Monthly Meday and Stroke Competition, with the trophy donated by Scott Nolan. Tee times are from 7am to 12 noon – book in with Craig in the pro shop on 4822 2828. The Tully Park Annual General Meeting has been moved to August 25th.

This weeks Sunday competition at Tully Park Golf Club came down to a battle between a veteran and a youngster, one with a swing that you can’t teach and the other with a bunch of talent. In the end, age and the unorthodox swing, in the form of Kerry Bensley defeated Trent Cooper in a countback on 35 points. Greg Hosking and Tom Heath were close behind on 34 points followed by Roger Gann, Glenn Gooch, Lachlan Bill, Ray Turner and Mick Gray on 33 points. Apologies for the lack of a golf report last week but the local rag did not consider it worth publishing. Nearest to the Pins went to Scott Nolan on the 12th hole and Mick Gray on the 7th. Brian Mills won the progressive competition with 35 points. Meanwhile Trent and Shane Cooper won their third straight Cock O’ the Walk to claim the treasured COW pin, defeating Greg and Mick Hosking.

This weeks comp was also the 6th round of the Kevin Allen Consistency Competition. At the half way point 6 players are within 3 shots of the lead. Eddie Hawkins holds top spot with 190 points, followed by Brian Mills (189), Tom Heath, Charlie McDonald, Neil Tozer (188), and Mick Gray (187).

Next Sundays Tully Park Golf Club competition is a 3 person ambrose, with a 7.30 for 8am tee time. A barbeque breakfast will also be on offer.

Next weeks competition is a single stableford competition with a trophy donated by Goulburn Water Systems. From next Sunday tee times will be extended from 7am to 12 noon. A time booking sheet is located in the Pro Shop which players are encouraged to use.

Round two and the Monthly Medal dawned cold, overcast and frosty. As cold as charity, in fact. Kerry Bensley had the standout round and claimed the Monthly Medal and C Grade with an excellent 62 nett. Charlie McDonald won A Grade with nett 65, while Bill McMahon won B Grade with nett 71. Also featuring, and challenging for the Championship prizes were Andrew Kadwell (66), Piopeye Tozer (69), Marty Weise (69), Russell Lieschke (69), Alan Bill (70), Tom Heath (71), Ben Hogan (71) Russell Schmitt (72) and Trent Cooper (72). Adam Boxsell was not putting his hat in the ring for a spot on the Championship board. Instead, he carded 82 nett and scored the special ball.

After 36 holes the final results were thus:

A Grade Gross: Scott Nolan (1) – 76+78=154

Lachlan has consistently been performing well in junior golf competitions and Jack Newton Foundation events. Of course, being from Tully Park, Lachlan will not be troubled by any close attention from local media. Well done Lachlan! All of Tully Park are proud of you.
