Monthly Medal at Tully Park

 
Trent Cooper continued his great form as he took out the July Monthly Medal and Stroke competition. Despite an 8 on the 1st hole and a couple of other cranky moments, Trents score of 66 nett edged out Brian Norris in a countback. Gary Spence and The Complete Athlete were next with scores of 68, followed by Tonk Turner (69) and Josh Cooper (70). Scott Nolan, Brian Norris and Trent Cooper won A, B and C Grades repectively. Marty Weise had one for the eclectics as he won the Drive and Pitch on the 16th hole, while Trent Cooper was closest on the 13th hole. Darrell Spence won the progressive competition with 57 nett.

Upcoming events include: August 4 – Stableford, August 10&11 – Foursomes Championships, August 18 – Ambrose, August 25 – Stroke/Monthly Medal, as well our regular Midweek and Saturday Competitions. The AGM is scheduled for 1pm on Sunday August 25th.

Saturday Stableford

 
The Black Sheep Irish Pub Saturday competition at Tully Park Golf Club is gaining momentum, with more and more players vying for the Dinner for Two trophy. Brian Norris was this weeks winner with an excellent 37 points and is looking forward to the best fish and chips outside of Ireland. Trent Cooper also played well scoring 34 points while Anthony Cooper (31), Col Eggins (31) ans S. Gooch (29) rounded out the ball rundown. Greg Hosking was the recipient of the special ball.

Don’t forget – Tee times from 7am to 12 noon. Book your tee time with our tame golf professional, Craig, on 4822 2828.

 
 

Goulburn Soldiers Club Midweek Competition

 
Russell Schmitt was the standout in last weeks Goulburn Soldiers Club Midweek competition at Tully Park Golf Club. Russells score of 26 points for his 12 hole round was all the more impressive for the heavy and cold conditions that prevailed. John Peterson and Don Grimston were 2 points astern with 24 points each, while Eddie Hawkins may have forgotten some of his equations as he came home with 23 points. Kevin Peterson won the special ball with 14 points.

Sunday Stableford – Brrrrr

 
It wasn’t just cold at Tully Park last Sunday. It was as cold as mother-in-laws breath. Colder than Trimbole’s toes. Cold. Gary Spence had his customised mittens in place. His long putter allowed one hand to stay warm under his chin (the other in his pocket), while his short putting stroke minimised exposure on an all round unpleasant day. Garys 37 points was 2 points clear of Phil Elliott (35) and Scott Nolan (34 points) and won him the $5o voucher to spend at the Tully Park Pro Shop. Russell Schmitt (33), Tommy Heath (32) and Chris Elliott (32) were close behind.

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.

 
 

The Black Sheep Irish Pub Saturday Comp

 
Juniors were the only players silly enough to brave the inclement weather to compete in the Saturday competition at Tully Park, sponsored by The Black Sheep Irish Pub. Mick Hosking was the eventual (and chilled) winner with a score of nett 73 in very difficult conditions. Mick outscored Trent Cooper, Nikita Hosking and Jonno Gegg to claim the dinner for two voucher.

Monthly Medal Sunday

 
Tommy Heath and Gary Spence were the only players able to beat their handicaps in Sundays stroke competition and Monthly Medal at Tully Park Golf Club. Tommy prevailed with an excellent sore of nett 63 to claim a generous trophy donated by Scott Nolan, while Gaz also scored well with nett 66. Don Grimston (67), Brian Mills (69) and Scott Nolan (72) were also in the running, while Russell Lieschke (nett 90) was not. Having won the Midweek Comp earlier in the week, Russell was not pleased with his turn of form. Tommy won A Grade, while Gary won B Grade and Brian C Grade. The progressive competition was won by Eddie Hawkins with nett 47, while Charlie McDonald won both nearest to the pins on the 5th and 13th holes.

This round has also injected some interest into the Kevin Allen Memorial Consistency Competition. Tommy Heath now leads with 7 rounds at an average of 32.6, followed by Eddie Hawkins 7 @ 32.3, and Brian Mills 7 @ 31.7. A number of players however, have excellent averages with less rounds: John Smith @ 35.8, Andrew kadwell @ 35.0 and Roy McNair @ 33.4. The Kevin Allen Memorial Consistency consists of 12 rounds through the year at Tully Park, the best 8 round of which will count to the players ultimate score. Traditionally a couple of 40 point rounds will set the cat amongst the pidgeons, and this years comp it seems, will be no different.
Next Sundays competition at Tully Park is a single stableford with a trophy donated by the Hosking Family. Both the Saturday and Sunday competitions now have tee times between 7am and 12 noon, with booking sheets in the Tully Park Pro Shop. A number of players have been taking advantage of a later tee time and having a Sunday sleep in as well. Ring Craig on 4822 2828 to book a tee time.

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.

 
 

Baa Baa Reg Gooch

 
People are beginning to talk. Rumour and innuendo abound. Much like the Hosking familys well known affection for chickens, some say that Reg Gooch has developed a fondness for sheep. Particulary Black Sheep. And Irish Pubs. Reg backed up his win in the innaugural Black Sheep Irish Pub Saturday competition with another impressive win this week at Tully Park Golf Club. Reg takes home the voucher for dinner for two at the aforementioned Irish Pub. Reg’s score of 38 points was too good for Mick Hosking (36), Marty Hunter (35), and Greg Hosking (33) and Scott Nolan (33). The committee is considering asking Reg to play in gumboots if he wins again in the near future.

 
 

Goulburn Soldiers Club Midweek Competition

 
Russell Lieschke was 2 shots clear of the field in last weeks Goulburn Soldiers Club Midweek Competition at Tully Park Golf Club. Russell carded an excellent 25 points for his 12 hole round, edging out John Peterson, Don Grimston and Russell Schmitt on 23 points. Eddie Hawkins and Kerry Bensley rounded out the ball rundown with 21 and 20 points respectively, Kerry winning his ball in a 5 card countback.helen Carne won the special ball with 4 points.

Sunday American Foursomes – Sorry

 
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. No, I’m Sorry. That’s OK, I’m Sorry too. Sorry.

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.

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. How does that compare with a season of cricket, soccer, or footy?
