Marysville Golf Report – 15 November 2025

The past few weeks have brought a wonderful buzz of activity around the club, with members and visitors alike contributing to an atmosphere of friendly competition and good humour. At recent presentations, warm thanks were offered to everyone whose efforts—large and small—helped make each event such a success.

Sunday 9 November saw the return of the annual mixed tournament, drawing 36 keen players. The course itself seemed to be part of the conversation, with one guest admiring it as "a stunning country course but quite tricky with its treed fairways and small greens, but I’ll be back to improve my score." The sentiment captured the essence of the day.

Patrick Doyle from Mount Macedon put together a strong round to win the Men’s A Grade Stroke with a gross 75, while Euroa’s Sam Hills secured the handicap win with a net 69. In B Grade, Brian Simmons from Yea matched the net 69 to take the honours, while his wife Christine led the ladies' field with 32 Stableford points. Marysville locals Colin Davies and Peter Doery made C Grade their own, carding 37 and 31 points respectively.  The nearest the pins were won by Travers Stow, Mark Fountain, and Sam Mills. Vicki Clements from Yea won the straightest drive and Jack McDonald from Strathbogie won the longest drive.

Last Thursday’s nine-holers played stroke on the front nine, with Gail Leigh (6) producing another impressive win with a net 34, closely followed by Glen Rattay (5) with a net 35. Gail also claimed the putting honours with just 13 putts—a tidy performance by any standard. Keith Atwell’s tee shot earned him nearest the pin on the 9^th. Club legend Bob Emblin played the shot of the day with a chip in on the 9th to save par.

While some members were playing at home, four Marysville ladies travelled to Seymour for the annual tournament. Heather Jenkins continued her consistent form, winning B Grade with a net 76. The momentum carried into Saturday at the Foodworks Murrindindi Masters in Alexandra, where Heather went on to win A Grade with 34 points. It was a genuinely outstanding week of golf for her, and fellow members have been delighted to celebrate her achievements.

The first round of the Foodworks Murrindindi Masters attracted a record 110 players, a field that brought energy and anticipation to Alexandra’s fairways. Marysville was well represented, with standout performances from Drew Kaempkes, Travers Stow, and of course, Heather Jenkins.

The Yea golfers won a number of the trophies, warm congratulations go to Jonathon Fisher (Yea) and Donna Meggitt (Alexandra), who took home the Mini Masters titles.  Our 

Our thanks to Foodworks for their ongoing generous sponsorship and to the Alexandra volunteers for organising such an enjoyable day. Hopefully these numbers will be replicated at in 2026, at Yea on 10 January, at Marysville on 31 January and Eildon on 14 February.

Next Saturday all players will play a Stableford round, with the ladies also contesting the Norman Trophy. On Thursday 27 November, Marysville will host the Dalhousie Veterans.
