BRIGHT COUNTRY GOLF CLUB Have you ever wondered why golfers have sometimes been known to swear? Most players think their abilities are more suited to professional golf, while the remainder of us realists realise that there are two things which will improve your game: 1) luck and 2) luck. Last week at Bright, on Wednesday 2 September, ‘Lady Luck’ was certainly with Carol Burgess, when playing the third hole, her pink ball sailed majestically onto the green and found the bottom of the hole. Her fellow golfers were almost as thrilled as Carol was. Winner: Tina Cook 12 H/C nett 71. Ball winners: Bernie Wickes nett 72, Carol Burgess nett 76. NTPs - 3rd: Carol Burgess (hole in one), 6th: Tina Cook, 16th: Tina Cook. Thursday 3 September, Men’s Stableford competition. A field of 36 players took part, and it certainly was tight at the top of the leaderboard. Winners: Graham Badrock 19 H/C 38 pts C/B, Phil Bardsley-Smith 9 H/C 38 pts C/B, Greg Dawson 14 H/C 38 pts C/B, Nev Blewitt 21 H/C 38 pts C/B.

NTPs - 3rd: Troy Stevens, 6th: Brendan Cudmore, 11th: Rod Brown, 16th: Victor Selway. The Chicken Winner was Cameron Wickes, and the NAGA went to Russ Munro from Yackandandah with 21 pts. Saturday 5 September was a complete washout, no play, so the September Monthly Medal will be played on Saturday 12 September. The Bright Golf Guru question of the week: If this rain continues, do we think about building a boat, or just be patient? It can’t rain forever, but there is always a but, the farmers should be happy, especially those in Mudgegonga.
