Vale – Peter Chittendon

It is with great sadness that we advise members of the passing of Peter Chittendon, aged 81.
Peter joined Woollahra Golf Club on 28 September 2017 and, over the past eight years, became a well respected and valued member of our Club community.
A regular and enthusiastic participant in Club competitions, Peter proudly won the Life Members Cup in 2020 — a highlight that reflected both his love of the game and his competitive spirit.
Beyond his golf, Peter will be remembered for his warmth, quiet humour and the camaraderie he shared with fellow members both on the course and in the clubhouse.
A service to celebrate Peter’s life will be held at Woollahra Golf Club at 11.00am, with the wake to follow immediately after. 
On behalf of the Board, Management and Members of Woollahra Golf Club, we extend our sincere condolences to Peter’s family and friends at this difficult time.
He will be greatly missed.

Gold Medal Winner

The Gold Medal was contested on Saturday, 7 February, with 22 competitors taking on the challenge for the honour of etching their name into the Club’s history.

Played in hot and humid conditions, it was always going to be a demanding day. Following the completion of the morning field, Alasdair Cameron (Handicap 19) was the clubhouse leader after posting a fine and consistent nett 70. Alasdair went out in 45 and came home in 44, although his round could have been even better if not for a tough finish with a 7 on the final hole.

The afternoon field faced the hottest conditions of the day, and Bobby Broadhurst (Handicap 14) experienced a testing front nine. Despite starting strongly with just two bogeys in his opening six holes, an 8 on the 6th and a 6 on the 7th saw him turn in 43. Bobby showed great composure on the back nine,

Mixed Pennant Results

After three rounds of the Mixed Pennant competition, with 35 clubs represented across seven groups of five, Woollahra Golf Club is very well positioned.
Our group includes Lynwood, Cronulla, Gordon and Pennant Hills.
Each club hosts one match and does not play, meaning all teams contest four away matches, ensuring a level playing field.
Results to date:Match 1: vs Lynwood at Cronulla – Win 4.5–0.5 + Reserve winMatch 2: vs Cronulla at Gordon – Rain abandoned, match halvedMatch 3: vs Gordon at Pennant Hills – Win 3–2 + Reserve win
On 8 February, Woollahra hosts and does not play. Of particular interest, the two other contenders in our group — Cronulla and Pennant Hills — face off against each other on that day.
We then travel to Lynwood on 15 February for our final group match against Pennant Hills, where everything will be decided.
At this stage, it’s shaping up as a three-horse race between Woollahra,

7th Hole Flooding Update

After last weekend’s heavy rain, many Members will have seen “Lake Woollahra” in front of the 7th tee. Many may have thought that this shin deep pond was the runoff from the newly fixed 8th fairway and that the problems had been merely shifted from one hole to the other. But worry not! The big drain on the 7th was blocked with silt and debris from the course works on the 8th and 9th.
Once “Lake Woollahra” was emptied with a pump, the jet blasters were brought in, a lot of organic material was removed, and the drain is now unblocked.  Happily, the 8th fairway was dry and playable by Sunday morning despite the Saturday night drenching, which is a huge improvement on its ability to recover.
