We had 7,488 rounds of golf played in July which was 1,988 (36%) up on budget and 3,630 (94%) up on July 2022. There were 4,404 rounds played at Hilltop and 3,084 rounds played at Beachside. At Hilltop, 83% of the rounds were from members with 17% from visitors. At Beachside, 61% of rounds were from members with 39% from visitors. There were 2,651 competition rounds played at Hilltop with 55 players scoring 40 points (68 nett or +4) or better last month which is 2% of the total comp rounds. Some outstanding scores last month and in particular, from a few of our younger members which was great to see... 12 year old, Oliver Carson and young Lochi Wall both shot 47 points. David Banks had another "day out" shooting an impressive 46 points. Ryan Roklitzer and Lewis Tait both shot 44 points. Matthew Shrubb, Terry Leatham and Malcolm Crockett all shot 43 points while David Banks (again), Geoff Farrow, Chuck L'Heureux, Michelle Green, Kim Wight and Bronwen Walton all shot 42 points. Other notable scores include Debby Jackson with an amazing 64 nett and Pam Date shot 67 nett in the women's stroke event while Ruth Robson shot +5 in a Par event. There were a lot of eagles in July so we are checking the size of the cups to make sure they weren't any larger last month... Eagle Brigade... 1st Hole - David Glenn, 10th Hole - Chris McLean and Ben Hasler, 13th Hole - Terry Robinson, Aaron Basile and Wayne Finlayson, 14th Hole - Sean Carson, 16th Hole - Jye Halls. Final special mention to Jye Halls, who shot a 4 under par 68 which included a double bogey 5 on the 9th and a 6 on the 13th. There were obviously lots of birdies (and an eagle) that day. |
