KILMORE Golf Club has just concluded a successful district pennant season with all three men’s teams reaching the finals and two winning their divisions.
The pennant ladies did not reach the final – only one point short of a final’s spot.
A thank-you lunch at Kilmore Golf Club recognised all players and their families on June 4.
In May, golfers participated in the mixed foursomes. Jim Ioannidis and Helen Dennett won the scratch event for the fourth time, while Matt Murray and Wicky McDowall were first-time winners of the handicap foursome event.
A four-week competition for the John Ryan Rose Bowl had two weeks of stroke played to select the best four players, followed by two weeks of knock-out handicap match play.
Sophie Banon scored her second successive win in this event, defeating Cheryle Anderson in the final round.
Meanwhile PGA professional Nathan Roberts is continuing his junior girls scholarship program on Saturday mornings, despite the colder wet days making golf less pleasant.
Two of the 2022 junior squad attended a junior girls camp at Tocumwal in April. The Dalhousie District Golf Association sponsored Natalia Tippet to attend, having sponsored Madeleine Ryan the year before.
The two girls, along with Chloe Creedon, have been sponsored by Kilmore Golf Club to continue with 12-month memberships at the club and engage in a program organised by several women members on Friday after school.
The six girls in this year’s coaching program will be welcome to join the practice classes soon.
The club said it was hopeful that such programs would build out membership in the long-term.
New members are always welcome to Kilmore Golf Club and anyone interested in the club and what it has to offer can contact the general committee on 5782 1123 or email info@kilmoregolfclub.com.au.
