Ten players, including Euroa’s Ed Carracher, took to the course in clear but windy conditions.
Preferred lies were in play and some pretty handy scores were recorded.
Playing off +1, Carracher carded 73 off the stick (nett 74), but it wasn’t even enough to snag him a line ball.
Dale ‘The Prez’ Smith had a bit of a day out on the course and his 83, nett 71, gave him the July medal by virtue of a countback over his son, captain Jed Smith, who had a round of 77, nett 71.
Line balls went to Scoota Donovan with 74, nett 73, and Campbell Smith with 78, nett 73.
Drive-and-pitch on the seventh was claimed by Donovan, while Dale won nearest-the-pin on the 18th and knocked in his birdie putt.
He also holed out on the 11th from 40m out.
Jed won the ball for least putts with an impressive 21, having only nine on the first nine holes.
The Avenel Imperial Hotel voucher was won by Leroy Robertson.
Last Thursday, the club hosted the DDGA Vets Ambrose event which was won by the strong contingent from Kilmore.
Avenel Golf Club thanks Dave Fullager for putting the tee markers out, Marlene Hull, Marg and Ron Harrison for catering and bar duties and also Mark Hannigan for getting the fire going before players arrived.
It also thanks the volunteers on the course — it’s looking fabulous and is a credit to their work.
This Saturday, the course is being set up as a par-3 course, so get some friends together and come along for a fun day.
Good golfing to everyone.
