Members and friends of the Marysville Golf club would like to send their condolences to the friends and family of Steve Darmody who died suddenly last week. Steve was an avid golfer and a member of the Alexandra Golf Club. Many of the Marysville golfers played with Steve in a number of club and Dalhousie events and most recently in the Foodworks Murrindindi Masters. He was friendly and fun and often when giving the Alexandra Golf Report on UGFM he would fill in his time allo

This report should perhaps be titled ‘Marysville Golf Nothing Much to Report’ as the week of heavy rain and strong winds kept golfers at home rather than on the golf course. Thursday was a particularly wild day and no one ventured out to play in the usual nine-hole competition. The course whilst wet in patches remained open and golfers played a stroke round for the July monthly medal and the second round of the Winter Aggregate. The ladies winner of the medal was the ever sto

As the cooler days set in the extra activities at the club diminish somewhat but the golfers do play enthusiastically in the Thursday 9 hole and Saturday 18 - hole competitions. Visitors to the area are most welcome to join the weekly competitions and can just turn up and play. Thursday 12.30 for a 1.00pm tee off and Saturdays 9.30 for 10.00am tee off. The Thursday nine holers played stableford on the front nine holes and the winner was Glen Rattay (4) with 19 points. Lloy

Brian was nearest the pin on the 11th hole and Richy was closest on the 18th. Keith Atwell

Last Thursday, the annual Sandy Wilson Ladies Bowl was held with Marysville members hosting 45 ladies from clubs from the Dalhousie District and further afield.

Last week was a busy one for the Marysville golfers and there is more action to come in March and April. On Saturday the 14th, Michelle & Brett Mansfield hosted a private event at the Alexandra races and generously named Marysville Golf Club as the tent sponsor. This gave the Club and Pavillion Bar a full-page ad in the form guide and social media mentions, providing fantastic community exposure. The Club also had the pleasure of presenting a trophy and short speech to the wi

Last Saturday the golfers played a stableford round and all competition fees, raffle money and donations will be donated to the Marysville Lions Need For Feed programme and the Murrindindi Foundation’s Food Share initiative.

Last Saturday morning, a full car park, the smell of egg and bacon rolls, and some unfamiliar faces were the order of the day at the Marysville Golf Club. The members welcomed players from Lakeside Golf Club, who each year vacate their club for the Formula 1 Grand Prix and travel to Marysville for the interclub challenge. In perfect conditions, 50 golfers played a stableford round. The ladies winner was Lesley Rundle (38) with 35 stableford points followed by Lakeside member

Last week was a busy one for all the Yea members as they prepared to host 91 golfers on Saturday in the final round of the 2005/6 Foodworks Murrindindi Masters. Hosting the final round is particularly challenging as the scores from all 4 rounds have to be calculated and final trophies presented. To encourage golfers to attend the final round a new initiative was established with the names of all those who had played 3 rounds placed in a box. One name was drawn randomly to win
