Post Round 4 Review: Goonawarra

In one of the smaller fields of the GMGA season, we ventured out past the Tullamarine Bomber's home ground to Goonawarra Country Club, where 4 groups took aim at the blue jacket.

Fines seemed to be prevalent early with the James brothers not making their tee times after a night on the the turps at the NBL. Flames making it known with his social media prowess.

It seemed like it could have been anyone's day with a light breeze and perfect sunny conditions, but scores were not reflecting that of another high scoring day like previous years.

Highlights for the day came from James Mount smashing a driver down the 18th to win longest drive, Michael Caridi getting one somewhere on the green for 2nd shot NTP on the short but elusive Par 4th 13th, and Daniel Igoe sticking one close on the Par 3, 16th for NTP.

But the day belonged to the Italian, Matteo Pannelldo, who after starting with a 1-pointer on the first hole, held his nerve and came home strong to finish with 38 points, 1 ahead of rival Patty Sherlock. Matteo attributes his win to his Nonna's arrancinis the night prior. Molto bene Matteo! Diamo il benvenuto a tutti i tipi di internazionali a grandi uomini dell'associazione golf!

We venture out from Goonawarra for Round 5 of the season on Sunday December 8th, for the infamous Party Round at Royal Riverside! Make sure you get there and pay up on time... don’t upset the President!
