Vale John Oxenham

dsc_0055_john-oxenham_eeeThe Committee and Members of Maleny Golf Club convey their sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of John Oxenham who passed away on the afternoon of Tuesday 4 April in the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. He was just 75.

John was a founder and former committee member of the Maleny Golf Club. He will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by those who knew him for his friendship, joie de vivre, and contribution over many years toward the establishment and development of both the golf club and the course.

John is pictured in early April 2016 on the 5th Green where he scored the first Hole-in-One on the new course during a competition round – a feat immortalising him as the first to have his name recorded on the Terry Lee Memorial “Hole-in-One Club” honour board which now hangs in the clubhouse.

He was always pitching in to help do one thing or another around the club and loved getting out on the course for an early morning round on Thursdays with some good mates.

His funeral service will be held on Tuesday 11 April at 11am at the Gregson & Weight Funeral Home, 5 Gregson Place, Caloundra.

Saturday 1st April 2017 – Men’s TFM Awards 18 Holes Single Stroke Monthly Medal & Maleny Jeweller’s Mug

April 3, 20170 comments2017, Competition Results

It was a particularly stern test of golf off the blue markers despite the preferred lie option to account for the somewhat soggy ground underfoot after the recent deluge that was Cyclone Debby. The unmown rough was especially difficult to negotiate under the conditions.

However, Graham Shoebridge shook free of the pack to win the overall best net and the C Grade Medal with a 69 on a count-back from Mal Ewing who was the runner up and the B Grade Medal winner. B Grade runner-up was Paul Viertel with a 71 and the C Grade runner-up was Dennis Brown, also with a 71.

Garth Bailo was our A Grade winner also with a net 69 while Jan Johnston got runner-up with a 71 on a count-back from Mike Finley. Tom Kennedy won “The Maleny Mug” with a 69 with John Hay the runner-up on 77.

The pins went to Greg Chile-Freeman on the 3rd and Jan Johnston on the 5th.

The Heavens opened up just as the field was turning for the second 9 holes of the MPR Ladies Monthly Medal – dissuading most from continuing. However, three dogged competitors knuckled down admirably and should be applauded for completing their round despite the intermittent heavy rain.

Liz Mellish carded a net 71 to win the Glassware and a $30 Supa-IGA Gift Card provided by Maleny Property Rentals with Beth Glover the runner up on a score of 74. Penny Edwards was third with a net 81. Liz also picked up a ball for nearest the pin. Liz (right) and Beth are pictured below with the spoils.
