Foggy course doesn’t keep golfers down
NUMBERS were down on Saturday with some golfers away at other clubs playing in the Kara Kara tournament circuit.

Trevor Baldock made a mockery of this assumption by coming in with 36 points to win the St Arnaud Physiotherapy best score award. The well seasoned John Nevill was 2 behind with 34 points.
Nearest the pins were Tubby Drendel on the 8th, Trevor Baldock on the 10th and Charlie Ferguson on the Weirs IGA 18th.
Up and coming golfer Charlie Ferguson took on the vastly experienced Peter Martin in the singles knockout with Marty hanging on to win two up. For the more senior players, veterans golf is coming up at St Arnaud.
ST Arnaud’s Alison Fahey won the veterans section and placed equal second in the bronze division of the Kara Kara Ladies Champion of Champions, Shield and Association Day on July 9.
TROY Heenan, Charlton’s big hitting left hander, brought his power game to the stableford event on Sunday.
Long straight drives off the tee set up his round and he scored 39 points to win the event, an equivalent of 80 shots off the stick.
The 16 players entered will long remember the weather being fog bound.
Jackson Zagame and Brendan Byrne both scored 38 points to be runners up. Caleb Good 36 points, John Tormey and Mark Hamley rounded out the ball count with 35 points. Nearest the pin: 7th Caleb Good.
