TARRA GOLF CLUB

RESULTS Saturday 29, March.

It was the opening day for the Tarrawingee Golf Club and the members played a mixed Pinehurst with the scratch winners being Leo McCoy and Glenda Marshall who was a visitor from the Beechworth Club.

Handicap winners were Angelo Garraffo and Cindy Hardy with the runners up being Pete Nolan and Joan Quarrell.

No player managed to achieve a ‘nearest the pin’ on the day so the prizes remain in the club’s possession for another day.

Golf to be played on Saturday, 5 April will be a stroke event for the April Monthly Medal, both men and ladies welcome with a separate event to be held for the ladies.

It will be an 11.30am roll up for an 12pm hit-off.

The club curator Terry Ousley has retired after many years of keeping the fairways and surrounds of the Tarrawingee Golf Club in excellent condition, and the members are most thankful for his contribution and wish him well in retirement.

New members are always welcome at the Tarrawingee Golf Club with first year membership of $100 and very reasonable competition fees - this can be done by contacting a member or phoning 0428 122 590.

WANG CROQUET

RESULTS for Monday, 31 March are as follows:

Robyn Muller and Terry Wilson d Christine Ireland and Wendy Waddington 7/3, Margaret Bennett and Joan Dyson d Yvonne McLaughlin and Nathan Reynolds 7/2.

On Monday, Robyn Muller, frustrated with not being able to run hoops tried a different grip on the mallet and ran hoops left, right and centre.

Next week we commence the North Eastern District Croquet Association Pennant competition with Wangaratta venturing to Beechworth for the first match.

As the result of a Pennant Strategy meeting held on Wednesday morning and discussion amongst Pennant team members, Maureen O'Keefe has been appointed Wangaratta Pennant Team Captain for 2025.

On Wednesday evening Eileen Kapperer came to try croquet for the first time and showed promise by running a hoop from 10 yards in only her second game.

With daylight saving finishing on Sunday we are going to afternoon play from Monday, 7 April.

Play is at 1.00pm on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Please arrive 15 minutes earlier to allow for a draw to be undertaken.

The club is located at 46 Ryan Avenue, Wangaratta.

For further information please contact president Susan Fischer on 0417 217 009 or secretary Terry Wilson on 0417 326 739.

WARBY WALKERS

WEEK away at Anglesea from Saturday, 29 March - Saturday, 5 April, based at the Anglesea Family Caravan Park.

The 39 very happy club members have now experienced four days of great walking at different levels of difficulty along the spectacular coast and in the impressive Otway forests mainly west of Anglesea - lots of our grass trees but not as big as our Warby types.

It has been fine and warm but of course very windy at times.

Walkers have been tossed around on the coastal walks but still enjoyed the glorious views and companionship, and every coffee shop along the coast has been explored.

Beach walks and waterfalls seem to have been the highlights of the walks so far.

A few people have swum in the sea every day and lots of healthy native animals spied along the tracks.

The group have really enjoyed the friendliness and hospitality of living briefly in a family camping space.

Coming Events

Thursday, 10 April, Lower Ovens - Andy, 0439 209 749.

An easy stroll of about 7km along the Lower Ovens.

We were planning to visit the Lower Ovens Wildlife Reserve and the place where our special heritage Ovens River combines with the much larger Murray River but apparently there will be many duck shooters around, and subsequently, we will move upstream a few kilometres.

Sunday, 13 April, Myrtleford to Gapsted, Stanley State Forest - Marita, 0427 521 122.

This medium walk starts at the outskirts of Myrtleford, and meanders along bush tracks skirting the edge of Stanley State Forest towards Gapsted.

There are areas where views of the surrounding hills, and mountain ranges, can be seen.
