2024 Centenary Park Charity Day
The team of Di Wardle, Wendy Hunter, Jan Crosbie and Deb Sal played in the Drop Out Ambrose event at Centenary Park on October 17th. It was a beautiful day and the course was in great condition despite 3 temporary greens. The Centenary Park ladies put on a fabulous day for the 80 players with lucky numbers, guess the number of tees in a jar, a putting competition on the practice putting green, many, many raffles and a delicious roast chicken lunch. There was even BBQ sausages and cakes to buy between the 9th and 10th holes. A representative from One Golf,spoke (one of their many sponsors), as did speaker from their charity, Mums Supporting Mums In Need. Di and Wendy both won fantastic hampers. We hope to play there again next year!

VGL – Handicap Pennant – Division 8 – 2024
Winner – Glen Waverley GC Team Red
On Sunday May 26th, 2024 Glen Waverley Red beat Australasian 12-4 in the Pennant Final @ Werribee.
That coincidentally was the same score the team got beaten by in the first round of the regular season at home. By none other than Australasian. Little did we know at that point it was going to be our only loss for the year. What followed were an away win at Altona Lakes, a draw at Riverview, a comprehensive win at Australasian, a draw at home with Altona Lakes and a win at home against Riverview.
We finished the regular season on top of the ladder, knowing full well it would count for little in the final. The final was a close contest with many of the games finishing on holes 17 or 18. For a long time it looked like a play-off was on the cards. The turning point in our favour were the matches of our position 3 and 4 players who managed to win / half their contests after being down for most of the day.
In total 12 players represented the club at various stages of the season. For many it was their first ever season of VGL Match Play. From a Captain’s point of view, it was pleasing to see how quickly the “Rookies” adapted to the complexities of Match Play, the manner in which players represented the club and the support of one another amongst the Group. 3 players deserve a special mention as they finished the season including the final unbeaten; well done to Scott Williams, Darren Buckley and Rob Mead.
Congratulations to: Rob Mead, Wen Zhao, Venkat Kapuganty, Scott Williams, Darren Buckley (VC), David Wong, John Zhu, Lutz Toriedt (C), Peter Phan, Chandra Naidu, Robbie Cooray & & Simon Barwick
