INGLEWOOD
Inglewood Golf Club kicked off its opening day in warm and dry conditions with newest life members David Vanston and Lindsay Kelly having the honours on the first tee.
Players quickly blew off any rustiness and were getting great run off the tee with the hard ground. Playing around the scrapes was the challenging part of the day, adjusting to the driest and hardest conditions seen in recent years.
The stableford round saw David Patterson blow the field away with a stellar 42 points. Dave can expect a visit from the handicapper this week!
In a welcome return to the club and golf after a couple of years off, Ash McDonald scored a very respectable 35, driving the ball long and straight.
The ever consistent David Vanston also started his season with 35 points in the firm conditions.
BOORT
Braving a hot Sunday, eight golfers played the first stroke round of Boort’s Mercer Cup on a dry, fast-running course.
Kevin Linehan, hitting a nett 69, won by a shot from young Flynn O’Rourke, who scored an impressive nett 70 after shooting 98 off the stick.
Damien Lanyon had a mortgage on the nearest-the-pin prizes, winning four of the five on offer.
He also holed out on the fourth for an eagle, before finishing third in the nett competition on 71.
This week will see the first round the stableford event, teeing off  at 12.30pm.
