Cohuna Golf Bowls Notes
What a great drop of rain late in the week, with all grassed areas around our club looking fantastic as a result.
Our ladies were able to play without problems on Tuesday, with fours the game of the day. Winners were Yvonne, Val, Corrie and Glenda, who was back in rare form after a hand operation.
Thursday pairs ran foul of the rain, so apart from a couple of club games on Friday things were pretty quiet at our greens.
The two sides who attended Country Week in and around Bendigo had a great time, with Col Barton, Spike Laursen, Bo Fawcett and Mick Carmody reaching the last eight in the fours competition. Rain shortened play on the second day to allow finals to be played, but we didn’t mind driving home early in the rain.
We had a couple of fours in the Cohuna Tournament, and both won their respective sections o Sunday to reach the playoffs. Ron Eckhardt’s side of Peter Bibby, Frank Trezise and Len Mathers were pipped in the quarter final by Jason Heard, Ian Coates, Gary Easton and Pat Quinn who were then eliminated in their semi. A good performance by you all.
This week sees the first of our pie and soup days, with over 20 teams nominated to date. The format is two bowl triples and I’m sure Jean Sutherland will take another couple of entries.
The Waverly Shield competition for Golf Bowling clubs is set for Sunday, always a great social day with the addition of a golf competition for clubs involved. Again contact Jean if you wish to take part.
Friday night is Presentation Night, with all our winners being honoured over a two course meal courtesy of Ben’s Leitchville catering. Numbers are well up so the evening should be a great success.
To finish, remember that the Annual Meeting is fixed for April 8th, with nomination forms readily available for members to take advantage of. Ask yourself before then, what have I ever done to assist in the running of our great club, this could be your golden opportunity!
