Another Boyle-over

HE WAS on the boil in the recent Nightingale Matchplay and that was the case again for Leigh Boyle at the Cardinia Beaconhills Golf Links on Saturday.
Boyle was in a group of 115 golfers who took to the course in fine, but windy conditions, for the July monthly medal.
Boyle (10) continued his fine form to take out A Grade with a score of +5.
The B Grade and monthly medal winner was Riley Stevens, a junior member who had a great round, scoring +6 off a handicap of 18.
And the junior domination didn’t stop there: the C Grade winner was Luke Whitworth (23), scoring +3. Sunday’s par competition was taken out by Geoff Styles (15), with a score of +2.
Meanwhile, the midweek stableford saw Ian Simpson (28) win with a score of 41 points, with Peter Brown (18) taking out the runners-up prize on a countback with 40 points.
The women played the first round of their foursomes championship, with Heather Hamilton (19) and Phyliss Woods (22) leading the field after shooting 95 gross for a nett score of 74.5.
Libby Michel hit the shot of the day on the 15th to win the nearest-the-pin prize.
It’s school holidays and the juniors are making their mark. On Thursday, Jordan Denereaz (11) won A Grade with 39 points on a countback. Arthur Bailey (19) won B Grade, with 43 points.
Club members who travelled to Horsham for the annual weekend trip had a great time – on and off the course.
