Special
Events The Vasse Newton West Coast Open is a 54 hole men's, annual tournament for amateurs played over the Queens Birthday long weekend Sept/Oct. The first tournaments were 72 hole "open" events which attracted the state's best. In 1981 it became a three round event and has been contested by amateurs only since 1987. The honour board reads like a "Who's Who" of Western Australian Golf.
2007 saw a great battle of the locals, Glen Tillotson beating Brody Ninyette 205 to 206. Glen shooting a fantastic 64 in the 2nd round and Brody almost overtaking him in the last round with a great 68. In just 10+ Years the 36 hole Geographe Ladies' Golf Classic has become one of the most popular events for amateur women in Western Australia. Helen Beatty, Anna Parsons and Nicole Montgomery are all multiple winners. Alison Crooks and Rochelle Miles have also won and, in a fairy tale finish, Busselton's Pam Criddle won the inaugural tournament at the last hole. The 2008 winner was Nicole Montgomery from Royal Fremantle winning for the 3rd time, runner up being Tricia Borgward from Mandurah . The "Classic" is played on the weekend after the autumn long weekend in March. The Vasse Newton Leaney Cup, a 36 hole tournament for mixed pairs. There were separate men's and women's stableford competitions on the first day followed by a mixed 4 ball better ball stabledford competition on Sunday. The trophy went to the couple who accumulated the most points over the weekend. 2007 saw the 4th running of this event, the winners being Laraine and Gary Penberthy from Cottesloe with a combined score of 121. They won on a countback from locals Dot Marsh and John Gardner. Both competitively and socially the event is a success and it is now a highlight in the Club's annual fixtures. The Streamline Summer Cup is a 18 Hole Stableford event played in January for Men and Women. The 2008 winner was Ray Horton. |
