Wednesday 17 January:
No competition due to inclement weather.
Twilight:
With much-improved weather, the Warburton Golf Club saw a very healthy field of over 60 competing. Sam Dennis continued his top form from the previous Saturday to record a solid 20-point nine. This win well and truly entrenches”Sam in the top ten vying for a spot in the big Shootout set down for the last week in March. The runner-up to Sam’s 20-point win was Alan McDonald, who collected the second top prize with a neat 20-point result. Good work, Alan. The balls only reached 17, because there were plenty of 18 and 17-point results posted. The NTPs went home with Troy Veenker (second shot on the 1st), Tom Barr (3rd) and a double win to Peter Fox on both the 5th and the 9th. Well done, Peter.
Saturday 20 January, Stableford:
Another good-size field meant that winning scores would need to be top-class if golfers wanted to take a voucher home. That top voucher went home with Shane Campbell, who amassed 41 impressive points to take out A-Grade. Another good job, Bomber. The A-Grade runner-up was David Hatt, who posted a 39-point round. Balls reached 35 in this Grade. In B-Grade, the multi-talented Ryan Wilson won by posting a 38-point result. Kevin Bargar made a welcome return to form to grab the runner-up prize with 35 points. Balls extended all the way to 32. NTP winners were Axedale visitor Shane Carmody (3rd), Matt Maloney (5th), Clint Toohey (9th and 15th, great shooting Clinton) and Jimmy Stewart (12th).
