Slope rating update

As most members would be aware, during the period of construction and course changes the slope rating for your daily handicaps was reduced after consultation with Golf Australia.

With the opening of the first and tenth tee boxes the course is now being played under normal conditions and effective from Tuesday 23rd April the course rating has been reinstated to its original slope.

Make sure when you register for the competition of the day you review your new daily handicap as this will change with the higher rating.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via return email.

Stan Lee volunteer work acknowledged at Monash awards

Sir John Monash Awards

Congratulations to Stan Lee who received a Certificate of Acknowledgement in the Active Monash category of the 2023 Sir John Monash Awards.

Stan was nominated by the Glen Waverley Golf Club committee for the regular volunteer work he does around the golf course and for the Club.

For many years Stan cleaned the old Club rooms., particularly before events when other Clubs were attending. Alongside this, he has worked regularly to clear paths, maintain bunkers and generally support the upkeep of our golf course. Very few club members would have any idea of the amount of voluntary work that Stan puts in.

The Monash Council held a cocktail function at the Museum of Australian Photography in Wheelers Hill on October 26th. Stan was accompanied by his wife, Susie, Deb Sal representing the GWGC Committee and Frank Sal who regularly plays golf with Stan.

Again, congratulations and thank you Stan for all of your work.

Finals results for the Men's Handicap Pennant teams

The Handicap pennant finals were played over the past two Sundays 21st and 28th May at Werribee Golf course.  Both the Glen Waverley Black and Red team made the finals, which is a great achievement, well done by both teams.

On Sunday 21st May Team Black who finished on top of the division 6 ladder played Altona Lakes. 
With showers and a cold wind, conditions were tough as was the golf, with both teams finishing the regular play tied at 4 wins each. This meant that a playoff was required and both number one players headed to the 10th hole, a long into the wind par 4 of 396 metres, Wen Zhao managed to win this hole under enormous pressure and secure the title for the team.
Well Done to all members of the team, caddies and supporters who cheered on the team.
  • Chris Sutherland (Captain)
  • Gerard Macisaac
  • Paul Chodziesner
  • Wen Zhao
  • Allan Ludekens
  • VK Kapuganty
  • Sam MacNeil
  • Brian Jenson
  • Kae Hum
  • Dennis Gribbin
 

Pennant team final.jpg

 
On Sunday 28th May Team Red who finished second on the division 8 ladder played Growling Frog.
With rain falling and the outlook bleak, the players were going to be in for a wet round, rain persisted for the entire round in a very close match with all bar one going to at least the 17th hole. Unfortunately, several close matches went against Glen Waverley and the team lost 5 to 3 with 4 matches completed on 18. A great effort in the conditions and some great fight backs in individual games.
Well Done to all members of the team, caddies and supporters who cheered on the team.
  • Scott Williams ( Captain)
  • Darren Buckley
  • Mark Williams
  • Robin Paul
  • Asanka Munasinghe
  • Malcolm Moran
  • Lakmal Liyanage

  • Steve Schenk
  • Cliff Rowe
  • Ian Flett
  • The Committee wishes to thank both Captains and all Team members for representing the club this season. 

 

Following the final home and away match of the Handicap Pennant season, congratulations to both the Black and Red teams for making the finals.
The Black team finished on top of their division after only losing one match for the season and the Red team had a great win away in the last round to finish second.

Both teams will compete for the flag on the following dates
