The Thursday golfers weren't as fortunate, and there was no one to play in the rain.
On Saturday, Oberon's golfers played a stroke round for the monthly medal.
Conditions were harsh, cold and windy, and there was no run on the course due to all the rain. There was only a small field of 23 players.
Alan Cairney mastered the conditions to win the A grade monthly medal with a good round of 79/70. Rob McGrath was the runner-up with a solid round of 77/73. Rob also won the A-grade scratch ball. Andrew Yeo won the A grade putting with 27 putts.
Dave Campbell relished the conditions to play one of his best rounds for some time.
Dave won the B grade monthly medal with a solid round of 109/73. Steve Ellery wasn't far behind with a good score of 94/73.
Jake Ribbons won the B grade Scratch ball with a round of 94. Steve Ellery won the B grade putting with 32 putts. Balls went to Mick English and Chris Kalos. Ian Fowler was closest to the pin on the 7th hole, and Steve Ellery hit a lovely shot into the 9th hole to be nearest the pin.
This Saturday will be a two-person Ambrose event. Inviting a friend or someone who hasn't been to golf for a while is an excellent opportunity. You can use this opportunity to help build up our numbers.
During the last week, volunteers contributed many hours to course improvements. Mick and a team of volunteers made needed improvements to the water supply to greens and tees.
The team worked to improve the third tee and construct a new cart path to the right-hand side of the second green site in preparation for making a toilet on the southern side of the course.
The toilet construction will be done in tandem with the Oberon Council.
On Monday, a group of our keen golfers travelled to Blayney to play in the Central West Veterans event.
