The Warburton Golf Club’s Wednesday 17 April competition was The Resurrection Cup.
The “crazy” event was the brainchild of past member David Waters.
Waters is not keeping the best of health at the moment, so it was wonderful to see him at the club and playing in his own Easter event.
Unfortunately, he didn’t feature among the winners.
The winning three-person team was made up of Tex Van Der Kooi, Clint Smallman and Trevor Porter, who amassed a huge score – more than 40,000 points.
The runner-up team was Happy Gilmore, Des Ray and Neil Leckenby, who could only reach 34,000-odd points.
Nearest the pin winners were Ms Nursey on the third, Heather Judkins on the fifth, Mark Gunther on the ninth and Ossie McClay on the 15th.
Van Der Kooi had the day’s best score of 39 points.
In the Saturday 20 April stableford competition, Sean Kennedy was no Easter bunny.
He built up an impressive 40 points to win the day and A-grade.
Ken White snared the B-grade voucher with 39.
The unlucky runner-up on the day was Andy Lockey with 39 also.
There were plenty of good scores, meaning the balls only extended to 36.
Nearest the pin went to President Hall on the third, A Rasmussen on the fifth, Allan Hubbard on the ninth, Ms Nursey on the 12th (proving that holidays really agree with her!) and to Shane Campbell on the 15th.
