Inter-region challenge for vets
CORANGAMITE Veterans golfers enjoyed an inter-region challenge at the Terang Golf Club last Monday.
Corangamite was represented by 44 players while a further 32 travelled to Terang to represent Glenelg.
The Terang course was in great condition after receiving 37mm of rain over the previous week.
The real winner of the day was the golf course, with no player playing to their handicap.
Results:
A grade – winner Rob Field (Mortlake) 34 points on countback from Mick Holcombe (Hamilton) 34, with Jeff Costin (Colac) third on 31. NAGA Bernie Sinnott (Camperdown) on 25.

Nearest the pins: 3rd Chris Cunnington (Colac), 6th Wayne Bond (Heywood) golden hole, 8th Rick O’Donnell (Hamilton), 11th Wayne Taylor.
Challenge results – Corangamite 1085 points, 44 players, average 24.65, Glenelg 880 points, 32 players, average 27.5.
