Tully Park took on the Goulburn Workers Club Social Golf Club under a threat of rain last weekend, vying for possession of the Ron Power Memorial Trophy. Ron was a stalwart member of both clubs and, in his day, was a fine golfer and sportsman. Each year the two clubs celebrate Rons contributions by chasing that little white dimpled ball around the course. Both clubs were well represented and, as the weather held off, the day was an outstanding success.
The winning teams for each were Roy McNair and Lindsay Gegg, from Tully Park, with 46 points, and Don Grimston and D. O'Neill, from Workers Club, also with 46 points. These teams won trophies donated by Ray Turner and Gary Spence and by the Workers Club. A ball rundown went to 38 points and included B. Mills and W. McMahon (45 points), J. Smith and A. Tahana (45 points), E Hawkins and G. Serret (44), A. Kadwell and P. Elliott (43), T Clewett and K Peterson (43), S Tahana and J Whittaker (43), K Wray and R Lieschke (43), G Robertson and B Larkin (41), D Robertson and S Honeyman (40), N Townsend and T Druett (40) and P O'Brien and A Hazelton (38). Nearest to the pins went to G Serret on the 8th hole and E Hawkins on the 11th, while Captain Mills won the weekly raffle.
In the competition for the Ron Power Memorial Trophy, Tully Park were again victorious with an average of 42 points, defeating Workers with an average of 39 points. As always, the competition was fiercely contested, with many unlikely stories related afterward.
Next week, Ahoy Cleaning and Goulburn Trophies and Sportswear present their annual social day with a 2 man ambrose event. All golfers are invited to attend, even those without official handicaps and even those without talent. A barbeque lunch is included and a great day out is promised. Tee off from 7am to 8.30am.
A reminder to Tully golfers that the annual Major Championships are looming. They are set down for 4 18 hole rounds on October 22nd, 23rd, 29th and 30th.
