Brisbane Seniors Report – End of Year Results and a new season begins!
Surely we’ve had an update since the end of April? … No? … Ok .. a bit to catch up on. My apologies … other things on my mind.
OK … lets get into it. We might start with something different …
2024-2025 QSOOM Season starts NEXT WEEK! The Nudgee Masters is on 8-9 August. Entries close 5 August at 6pm (Only 11 spots left). We currently have 16 players in the field for this double points event which makes us the club most represented outside of the hosts. That’s awesome! If you’re playing, make an effort to wear a BGC shirt on the Friday.
Also coming up in August is Oxley on the 20th and Gailes on the 26th.
AUSOOM RESULTS
Australian Seniors Matchplay.
Stephen Deane was our only qualifier at this event this year and acquitted himself well. After a couple of wins on the opening day set him up for a clash with the top seed in his group, he was unable to best him. Going into the positional rounds for spots 9-16, he ran up against QLD’s number one player in Brad Dowling of Southport and beat him 3/2. He eventually fell to Steve Toyne of Indooroopilly in his final match and finished a very credible 10th.
Gold Coast Senior
Another good result for Stephen Deane on the national front, with a fine 1 under par 67 in the last round around The Palms at Sanctuary Cove. The first round here was played at The Pines.
QLD Senior
Some good golf played in tough conditions. The winner of the event (Brad Dowling of Southport) finished at 220 – (+10). Stephen Deane’s first look at Hervey Bay golf course. Marto’s first glimpse at at Top 20 finish before crashing out with 4 to play.

END OF YEAR RESULTS

Graeme Bell finishes on top for BGC.
Ladies QSOOM Nett
Special mention to Angela Fong running 3rd in the Ladies Nett section.
Well … that’s it for another season … our BGC numbers have increased and almost doubled from 2 years ago.

Cheers!
Marto.
