DESPITE the threat of rain the Macksville Auto Electrics sponsored Stableford attracted a good field. Brock Klar had the best round of the day with a net nine under par 45 to win division 1 from Michael Trisley who had a respectable 5 under 41. Paul Webster led the field in division 2 to win […]
The two Trevors, Hopkins and Peter, regularly share a cart and giggles at the Nambucca Heads Island Golf Course.
WHATEVER Peter Farrell did after nine holes at the Nambucca Heads Island Golf Course certainly disagreed with him. The six-marker was flying at the turn in the NVC Group medley par on Saturday – with seven pars, a bird and a bogey. But then he walked over the bridge and must have bothered a troll, […]
A GOLF handicap of 27 means you are normally about as consistent as Melbourne weather, so Colin Dunne’s effort at the Nambucca Heads Island Golf Course is noteworthy. He had 90 off the stick on Saturday. No wipes. Pars on 3, 8 and 18. A birdie for a thousand points on the long par three […]
Andrew Donovan pipes one down the dangerous 6th hole at the Nambucca Heads Island Golf Course.
CHRIS ‘George’ Marshall was a happy camper after “only taking 12 months to have a decent round” since joining the Nambucca Heads Island Golf Club from Armidale. The four-marker shot a one under par 68 for 41 points – including a bird on 9 from the 1st fairway – to sweep Div 1 in the […]

THE good scores of recent week’s didn’t eventuate with Matt Smith the best scoring a net 37 to win from Neil Cunneen on 36. The Mid Week competition suffered in numbers with more players opting for Jeff Gore’s nine hole “Chook Run”. Nonetheless Paul Webster won with Phil Bambury runner up. On Tuesday the ladies […]

The rollercoaster form line of Dennis Ashton saw him peak at the right time and place, on Saturday as he sizzled with a 64 nett to claim the Nambucca Heads Div 2 men’s monthly medal. The 20-handicapper had seven pars and needed every one as he snuck home by a shot from John Nebauer (also […]
John Day, Tony Campbell, Harry Andrews and Glen Taylor not aware he had just hit a hole in one.
THE first Saturday of each month is time for the Medal and Spoon Stroke event, sponsored by Sables Metaland. Dane Luffman with the best gross score on the day won the Spoon with Rama Gennat runner up in division 1. The “Silver Fox”, Brian King returned to form with a net six under par to […]

ROB Coneybeare is nicer and more optimistic than Ned Flanders from The Simpsons, but his saintly halo must have been tested after a calamitous start at the Nambucca Heads Island Golf Course on Saturday. A fluffed first shot left his pill near the red markers on the tee box and the subsequent rattled the chook […]
Teams of Phil Bambury and Tom Hodgson with Noel Austin and Peter O’Neill.
SATURDAYS multiplier pairs event, sponsored by the Zirkler family, tests mate-ships as Stableford points of the two players are multiplied on each hole . An example is, if one player scores say 3 points and his partner has 0 the result is zero, yet if both score 3 points the result is 9 on that […]

SCORES of near 40 seemingly matched the ‘feels-like’ temperature at the Nambucca Heads Island Golf Course on Saturday. Tim Kinnear carded 39 points in the Nambucca News medley stableford on 24 January, but even that wasn’t enough to guarantee a stress-free ride in Div 1. The 13-handicapper Titaniced the 9th with a triple bogey before […]
