The Warburton Golf Club captain, Noel Cross, is known to be a good golfer and his effort in the 25 September Stableford showed just how good.
Off a restrictive handicap of 7 Captain Cross shot a 70 off-the-stick, for a grand Stableford score of 42 points. That is only 1 over par.
The day’s runner-up, on a comeback, with 38 points was Mario Devincentis, which was his best score for a while.
The rundown of balls only got to 38, reflecting the many high scores recorded.
The daily nearest the pin winners were Allan ‘Old Man River’ Hubbard (9th), Captain Cross (6th) and Ray ‘Happy’ Gilmore (15th).
The club organized the September 27 Stableford for the public holiday and ended up with a bigger field than the Saturday.
It clearly appealed to Darren Wyatt, who won with 39 points.
Andy-Lockey was the runner-up with 37 and balls only went to 35.
Nearest the pins were won by Steve Wyatt (3rd), Andy Lockey (5th), Clint Toohey (9th), Junior Garside (12th) and Michael Pinkster (15th).
Grand Final day did not stop some of the die-hard members playing in the 28 September Stableford.
