Men’s Club Championships

The first round of the Men’s Club Championships commences this Saturday (5 October) and runs for four consecutive weeks, with the final round being played on 26 October 2024.

Veteran’s Division

In past years, we have asked the members who qualify for the Veteran’s division of the Club Championships (those 60 years and over) to use a scorecard marked with a red sticker so that those in the division can be easily identified for scoring purposes.

However, as many of our members have now transitioned to scoring using the MiScore App on their phones, this will no longer be possible.  Whilst we have most (but not all) members’ date of birth in our records, the system cannot automatically calculate the Veteran’s leaderboard by means of the date of birth.

Therefore, to ensure that all veterans are identified, we will place a list at the registration kiosk and ask that all members that qualify for the Veteran’s division write their name and Golflink number on the list when they register for the competition on Saturday morning.

Top Eight

As we successfully trialled last year, from Round 2 of the Championships, the top eight players will be group together (in two groups of four).  This creates great excitement and pressure in the battle for the crown.

The booking sheets for rounds 2, 3 and 4 will have eight spots reserved for this purpose.

Please make your booking as usual, and you will then be notified if you are moved into one of the reserved positions as a top eight player.

If you have any questions in this regard, please speak to Club Captain, Gerard MacIsaac.

2024 Centenary Park Charity Day

The team of Di Wardle, Wendy Hunter, Jan Crosbie and Deb Sal played in the Drop Out Ambrose event at Centenary Park on October 17th. It was a beautiful day and the course was in great condition despite 3 temporary greens. The Centenary Park ladies put on a fabulous day for the 80 players with lucky numbers, guess the number of tees in a jar, a putting competition on the practice putting green, many, many raffles and a delicious roast chicken lunch. There was even BBQ sausages and cakes to buy between the 9th and 10th holes. A representative from One Golf,spoke (one of their many sponsors), as did speaker from their charity, Mums Supporting Mums In Need. Di and Wendy both won fantastic hampers. We hope to play there again next year!

Congratulations to Gerard MacIsaac and Sheryn McInerney who teamed up to win the Mixed Foursomes event at Glen Waverley Golf Club. Their win makes them eligible to represent the GWGC at the VGL Mixed Foursomes event to be held at Dorset Golf Club on November 17th.

There were 13 pairs entered, the number of teams playing restricted by the number of ladies available to play. The weather and course were perfect on the day. Thank you to Sheryn who organised and picked up the lunch and to all of the helpers on the day

With three rounds left to play and with as much as 1600 points still up for grabs, everyone in the field has a mathematical chance to take out this year’s Cup!

VGL – Handicap Pennant – Division 8 – 2024 

Winner – Glen Waverley GC Team Red 

 On Sunday May 26th, 2024 Glen Waverley Red beat Australasian 12-4 in the Pennant Final @ Werribee.  

That coincidentally was the same score the team got beaten by in the first round of the regular season at home. By none other than Australasian. Little did we know at that point it was going to be our only loss for the year. What followed were an away win at Altona Lakes, a draw at Riverview, a comprehensive win at Australasian, a draw at home with Altona Lakes and a win at home against Riverview. 

We finished the regular season on top of the ladder, knowing full well it would count for little in the final. The final was a close contest with many of the games finishing on holes 17 or 18. For a long time it looked like a play-off was on the cards. The turning point in our favour were the matches of our position 3 and 4 players who managed to win / half their contests after being down for most of the day.   

In total 12 players represented the club at various stages of the season. For many it was their first ever season of VGL Match Play. From a Captain’s point of view, it was pleasing to see how quickly the “Rookies” adapted to the complexities of Match Play, the manner in which players represented the club and the support of one another amongst the Group. 3 players deserve a special mention as they finished the season including the final unbeaten; well done to Scott Williams, Darren Buckley and Rob Mead.  

Congratulations to: Rob Mead, Wen Zhao, Venkat Kapuganty, Scott Williams, Darren Buckley (VC), David Wong, John Zhu, Lutz Toriedt (C), Peter Phan, Chandra Naidu, Robbie Cooray & & Simon Barwick
