We had 7,344 rounds of golf played in August which was 844 (13%) up on budget and 1,002 (16%) up on August 2022. There were 4,555 rounds played at Hilltop and 2,789 rounds played at Beachside. At Hilltop, 86% of the rounds were from members with 14% from visitors. At Beachside, 65% of rounds were from members with 35% from visitors. There were 2,792 competition rounds played at Hilltop with 45 players scoring 40 points (68 nett or +4) or better last month which is 1.6% of the total comp rounds. Some great scores last month including Michael Keely and Declan Mulvaney who "top scored" with 44 points. Chester Kent shot 43 points while Noeleen McAlister, Darcy Wooden and Garry Hilder all shot 42 points. Special mention to Garry's effort which was a 2 under par round. In stroke rounds, Keith Date shot 66 nett while Geoff Beach had 67. Jye Halls also deserves a mention, whilst not on top of the leader boards, he did shoot 5 under par 67 TWICE last month. There were only a few eagles in August...
Eagle Brigade... 1st Hole - Darcy Wooden, 13th Hole - Aaron Basile and Brad Wall (yes, our Teaching Pro!) Hole In One... Congratulations to Brett Lowry on his first ever Hole-In-One on the 5th Hole on Thursday 24th August and to Eric Brown on his second Hole-In-One on the 5th Hole on Saturday 26th August. Same hole, 48 hours apart is quite rare! |
