YMGCR Men’s Nine Holers
Week ending November 6, 2026
With no game on Tuesday due to the Melbourne Cup, the players were ready to tackle the Pot round on Thursday.
On the Blue course, Paul Byrne held on to his lead by three lengths to take out the day with 26 strokes. Col Rosser finished second on 29, edging out Ray Minette on 30, while John Haigh, Glen Perkins and Brendan O’Farrell all needed a photo finish to separate them on 31 strokes.
The other ball winners on the Blue were Craig Thurston, Joe Cilia and Tony Shead. It was also good to see Warwick Sellars finally return to join the group and win a ball for his efforts.
On the Red course, new member Phil Newnham took out the day with 30 strokes and looks set to incur the wrath of the handicapper. He edged out Ray Douglas on 31 by just one stroke, with Bomber Mitchell and Peter Tudor close behind on 33.
Ball prizes went to Steve Williamson, Norm Moule, Dave Holdsworth, Tony Evans, Kerr Pendergast and Graham Ridley.
The Pot of Pots will be played next Thursday, featuring all Pot round winners since last December.
This week’s sponsor was the Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Club Resort.
