Elegant
left hander, Chris Bliss, proved that hard work pays off, with a
comprehensive victory in the P & H Minepro Services
Stableford event at the Collie Golf Club last Saturday. Bliss, who is
often seen on the practice fairway, working on his swing, posted an
impressive score of 8 up to sit atop the field of 42 players. (Webmaster's
Note: some of the luckiest putts ever seen on the course, and even
regularly telling him how well he was playing couldn't stop the charge).
Joe Italiano did his best to run down the winner, returning the
great score of 7 up, falling short by one, but taking the runner up
trophy. Ed Riley pipped fellow Veteran Ross Brody for third place after
each returned 4 up. Next followed Des Hebb, Jan Van Vollenstee, Frank
Battista and Ray Cooper on 3 up. Players on 2 up rounded out the
vouchers with Phil Eldridge, David Laird, Clayton Flynn and Tom Chappell
in that group. Those not rewarded for their golfing exploits at least
went away with something useful as a result of the generous sponsorship
of P & H. Nearest the Pins were won by Chris Stewart, Bruce Roberts
and Alan Kent. Long Putts went to Greg Martin and Chris Stewart. Len
Hennighan picked up the long drive on 15.

Brad
Jones won the third round of the Club Championship Stroke
Event, sponsored by the Golden Bowl Restaurant (Danny Cheng,
together with David Laird) last Saturday. In fine weather conditions,
Jones shot a stylish nett score of 68 to be one stroke clear of runner
up Ian Annandale who played solid golf, finishing on 69 nett. In third
place, on 70 nett was Dave Brunswick while Peter Gray finished on 71
nett to take out fourth placing. Finishing on 73 nett were Brad Swan,
Chris Bliss, Troy Sheppard, Ross Brody and Dave Czerniawsky while Ed
Riley, Danny Cheng and Frank Battista each finished with 74 nett. Alan
Banks had the best score of 34 points in the small field alternative
Stableford event. Leon Moran produced another great round to win the
gross trophy with the good score of 78 off the stick.

About
Collie
Golf Club Collie
Golf Club is located in the lovely town of Collie,
nestled in the picturesque Collie River Valley, 200km south of Perth, Western Australia. 
The
clubhouse from the 10th fairway. Since this photograph was taken a big
all weather deck has been built outside the bar, with outstanding views
of the course.
The
6,004m, 18 hole, par 72 layout on the banks of the meandering
Collie
River features one of Australia's top 100 golf holes. Collie
Golf Club offers a first class, enjoyable and affordable golf
experience to members and visitors alike - an exhilarating challenge characterised by tree lined doglegs, punishing rough, and fast, true grass greens.

golfers would also know that part of the pleasure of the great game is
the flora and fauna on many courses, and Collie is no exception. Ducks
and kangaroos abound, with members deriving great pleasure from watching
ducklings and joeys growing up through spring. The duckling season
generally starts in July with clutches ranging from a handful to a huge
15 ducklings in one family in 2005. On the kangaroo front the joeys poke
their heads out in September or so, and they become reasonably
proficient and increasingly confident hoppers by early in the new year. The course is
particularly colourful towards the end of winter and early spring, when
Western Australia's famous wildflower season is in full bloom. Collie
Golf Club is a friendly and active club which welcomes new
members and visitors, and which epitomises the very best
of country golf in Western Australia. Our fully reticulated
course provides year round golf to the highest standard,
hosting major regional events such as the
Summer Open
and
Riverside Open.
And
our clubhouse, bar,
and regular nine hole and 18 hole competitions provide a great social and sporting
focus for residents of our wonderful town and for the beautiful Shire of
Collie. Come
and take a look some day! |
