Barratt’s unlikely roll

 Sometimes golfers get on a roll and can be on song for a whole round.

This can happen to A,B or C-graders.

But it doesn’t happen often in the middle of a very wet winter, when the course is not keen to give up super-good scores.

Warburton Golf Club secretary Ken Barratt had one of those rounds in the Wednesday 14 August stableford.

When all others in the field struggled to play to their handicap, Ken accrued 40 really impressive points to win the day in a canter.

The runner-up with 35 pretty good points was Steuart Hawke.

Oddly enough, balls only went down to 33.

The nearest the pins on the day were won by ‘Old Man River’ Hubbard on the third, Andrew McMath on the 10th and Garsy on the 15th.

In the Saturday 17 August par contest, an impressive +7 was good enough to give David Lever the voucher for the day.

‘Pup’ will rapidly reduce his very generous handicap quickly at this rate.

The day’s runner-up was Troy Murphy with a creditable +3.

Players who scored square or better can claim a ball.

Nearest the pins on the day went to PK on the third, his son Sean ‘Bruno’ Kennedy on the fifth, Andrew Rasmussan on the ninth and Junior Garside on the 15th.
