The Internationals contingent gained the upper hand today with an outstanding win by Mike Mann who not only successfully run the tee but topped it off with an excellent net 59 to take out the October Monthly Medal. Well done Mike, sorry about the handicap adjustment :-). It must have been a surprise for Jan on 63 not to take out first place and the pack of players who all beat their handicaps today must have thought they were a chance.
Next week is the first round of the Fred Kitson Spring Cup. This is the third year we’ve run this cup in memory of Freddy Kitson who played at the club for many years after moving to Melbourne from Queensland. Fred made a lot of friends at the club and found the camraderie an important part of his life especially as he was a recent arrival in Melbourne. Fred was well aware that this memorial trophy would be played each year and decided on the format himself…in fact his words were “Par you bastards!!”. The trophy above was made especially for the club by Fred’s brother-in-law and the inaugral winner was Derek McDonald, Freds son in law and the second year was won by Kazim Akdag, our youngest player.
Derek McDonald, Fred’s son-in-law also played at the club for a long time and we’d love to see him back again.
