Sharp cuts through the competition



Wednesday 30 July, Stableford:

Although we have recently copped plenty of precipitation, both the course and the field size is holding up well.

This also allows for the daily scores to hold up as well.

The best result on this day was scored by Laurie Doyle, who posted a very impressive 39 points.

Laurie is one of our early birds, and often his group, and those around him, get the best of the winter weather.

Josh Hin was our runner up, on a countback, returning 34 points.

But he clearly had a superb back nine, because along with the second placed prize, Josh also snared both the 12th and the 15th NTPs on offer.

The balls only reached down to 33, and that was on a countback, too.

The other dual winner was the talented Clinton Toohey, because he grabbed the third and the fifth NTPs.

This just left Ross Machar to grab the one NTP left, on the ninth.

Saturday 2 August, Stroke and Monthly Medal: ask

Any true golfer and they will tell you that Monthly Medals are clearly harder to win in the depths of winter than at any other time of the year.

But, this year is different.

A drier than usual winter, and medal day falling on a weekend of great weather conditions, means that scores posted can still be impressive.

So, the most impressive result posted, earning him the medal and the B grade voucher was done by Geoff Sharp, with a sharp Nett 67.

Geoff won this on a countback, because young Jackson Byrne was right on his hammer, also with a 67.

The A grade prize went home with Gary Vollmer, as his Nett 70 was enough to also win after a tight countback.

The unlucky runner up here was Ben Lever, also posting a Nett 70.

Balls on this day reached a Nett 74.

The NTPs went home with five worthy winners; they being Josh Hin (third), Sam Dennis (fifth), Michael Batten (ninth), Steuart Hawke (12th) and finally to Paul P.K Kennedy (15th).

V.V.Vs:

Again, there were no V.V.Vs playing this week.

We are all hanging out for spring weather to bring the girls back.
