Pennant
Finals – We did it! 2023 MDGA Division 2 pennant champions. Winning 3/2 against a strong Riverside team.
Luke Benham, Greg Philp, Michael Smith, Blaine Cucia & John Zara, our winning team. Greatly supported throughout the season by Bruce Johnston.
Our club will only go from strength to strength with the our very keen Division 3 guys Jackson Leslie, Anthony Scarcella, Dean Leslie and Jim Carruthers coming out and caddying and cheering on Div 2. Jacob Pulvermueller came & caddied for Luke Benham, learning some golf & pennant strategy. Was great to see other members coming out & cheering on the team.
A huge thank you to David Smith, Peter Cramp & Barry Avery for their amazing culinary skills on the bbq. A massive thank you to Britz Browne for helping MDGA President, Greg Rhodes & myself with all the paper work for the pennant yesterday.
To John French for the beers for the team, thank you. Also to the bar staff & kitchen staff thank you. The day went perfectly.

Week 4 – Wow, what a fantastic day today at Riverside Golf Club.
First up our Div 3 guys put up a valiant effort against Mildura Gold, who had to win against us to make the final. Boy did we make them work hard. Jackson Leslie had a great win 3/2 after being down in his match. Anthony Scarcella and Jim Carruthers both squared. Whilst Dean Leslie and Justin Harvey had losses.
A win today was an absolute necessity for Div 2. With a fantastic
3 1/ 2 to 1 1/2 win over a strong Red Cliffs team, they have made the final next week at Robinvale. Blaine Cucia had an awesome 3/2 win over 1 handicapper Chris Thomas, Mick Smiths 6/4 win over 2 handicapper Ben Hogan was simply amazing. We have brought John Zara up from Div 3 to boost Div 2 and he has become a steady backbone for us. Although losing today 4/3, being his 1st loss for the season, he wasn’t the only one having trouble on the hard fast greens. What can we say about Uncle Fly, he has looked out for all the guys, helping them in anyway he can. After being 3 down after 11 holes, he clawed his way back for a squared match. After being 2 down after 2 holes, Lukie Benham decided it was time to knuckle down for a brilliant 7/6 win.
Whatever happens next Sunday, I’m very proud of the commitment and dedication to travelling each week and playing to represent the Robinvale Golf Club. An absolute pleasure to Captain both Divisions
Week 3 – Pennant was played at Red Cliffs last Sunday. Course was in great condition.
Division 3 lost 3/2. Wins to Justin Harvey and Anthony Scarcella couldn’t quite get the team home, with losses to Jackson Leslie, Dean Leslie and newcomer to pennant Ivan Hingano.
Division 2 had another 3/2 win this week. Wins to John Zara, Mick Smith and Fly got us our 3rd win on the trot. Narrow losses to Bruce Johnston and Blaine Cucia. Next week Division 2 play Riverside at Mildura at 11.30am. Info for Division 3 will be out later this week when ladders are completed.

A huge thank you to all sponsors on the day. Way too many to mention, but without sponsors a day like this can’t happen. There was a golf cart from Agg Tech up for grabs for a Hole in One on the 1st hole. Sadly no one was able to make the ace.
