Saturday 12th April 2025
On another beautiful Autumn day a very large field assembled on Saturday to play the April Mug Medal and Ladies LGU. The course, as usual, was in great shape and the greens were running fast and true.
The temporary tee block on No 4 makes the hole shorter but the devilish pin placement kept the hole the well and truely in the difficult basket. It was drawn as the Nett Eagles hole but, you guessed it! No nett eagles!
We welcomed three new members, Daniel and Steve McDowell and Alan (Reg) Register. It turned into a memorable day for Daniel as he won the Mug with an excellent Nett 66. The second junior to win the Mug this year after Mason Van Leeuwen. And when you add in Kahu McPherson winning the Nett round two weeks ago our Juniors are making an impact and isn't that great to see!
