Wednesday 19 July, Stableford:
A healthy field, contesting this mid-week comp. was not quite big enough to allow for A and B winners. This means that Stuart Patrick was the outright winner, posting a 35-point round. Stuart is the patriarch of the famous Patrick clan, who knows his way around a golf course and, particularly the lovely course at Warburton. The nearest result to his, a 34-point result, was recorded by Laurie Doyle. Therefore Laurie took home the runner-up voucher. If you posted a 31-pointer, or better, then claim your golf ball next time you’re in the Pro-shop. NTP prizes were taken out by Tim Jones (3rd), Stuart Patrick (5th), Laurie Doyle (9th) and to Matthew Maloney (15th).
Saturday 22 July, Stableford:
With some less-than-ideal weather around, then any good scores are worth celebrating. And so, we definitely celebrate the result that Clinton Toohey posted this day. The seriously talented Clint took home the top prize with an impressive 40 points, a total made even more impressive when you play off a very low single-figure handicap. In fact, Clint’s result blitzed the field by 4 points. This means the daily runner-up posted a 36-point round. That was Dale Horrobin, who is a relatively new member, but is getting to know his new course in record time. Well done, Dale. Balls only extended to 32. NTPs, on the day, were earnt by Steuart Hawke (3rd), James Stewart (5th), Josh Hin (9th), Alan Johnston (12th) and to current Club-Champion, Michael Batten (15th).
