Senior Pennant
Results: Round Four
October 14
Our senior pennant team ventured to South Lakes on Monday 14th October for our 4th match of the season. This was always going to be a close tussle against our nearest golfing neighbour and on a course many VH players are quite familiar.
The match didn’t disappoint with the result going down to the very last putt in the final match on the 18th hole. All but one match went down to the 17th or 18th holes.
Winners were Barrie Bahnert (2/1 up and remains unbeaten), Moth Eaton (1 up) and halves to Dean Towill and Mike Howard gave us three points. Peter Bond struggled against a consistent player at No.1 to go down 7/5 and Andrew Hall lost 2/1 on the 17th.
This left Tom Hancock at No.2 to grab the final match for victory. Both players were square coming down the 18th and both hit into the green side bunker & both played good shots out of the sand. Tom’s putt just slipped by the hole leaving the home team with a tricky 4-footer for victory & unfortunately, it went in!!
A 4-3 loss to the home team was a great effort & we are still placed in the top 4. We resume on the 28th after our bye next week.
Hole in One!
John Martin on the 10th
Congratulations to John Martin
for his Hole in One on the 10th
on Oct. 8. To have a hole in
one is an amazing achievement
in itself, but to have one on the
10th at Victor is very rare. Well
done, John!

Try Golf Programme: A Gateway to the Green
Victor Harbor Golf Club Pro Shop is currently hosting a new series of Try Golf sessions, designed to introduce newcomers to the sport in a welcoming and supportive environment. Led by certified PGA Professional, Ian Pritchard, this four-week course offers participants a comprehensive introduction to the game, combining driving range practice with on-course experience.
The programme begins at the driving range, where beginners learn the fundamentals of golf. Under Pritchard’s expert guidance, participants master the basics of grip, stance, and swing. They practice with various clubs, exploring the potential of each as their skills develop. Pritchard emphasises the importance of proper posture and balance, helping students understand how these elements contribute to a successful swing.
Participants line up at the driving range ready to work on their skills
