Men's Golf
WINTER has struck with vengeance this week with the weather affecting numbers and competitions.
During the week we were able to complete two of the three remaining Match Play Championship rounds, with the C and D Grade rounds being played and won.
The C Grade Champion is Luke Murray who defeated Brendan Egan by a score of 5 and 4.
The D Grade event was eventually won by Daryl Horwood who beat Col Whytcross on the 18th hole with a miraculous shoot from the fairway bunker that landed on the green.
Well done to the winners.
The B Grade Championship will be played this week between Shaun Wade and Joel Sanford.
On Tuesday 13 brave souls ventured out in damp and cool conditions to play in a par round.
The winner this week was Taki Murakami with a score of –3 from Adrian Cheer with –4 and Jeremy Drew on –4.
The scores are a good indication of how difficult the conditions were.
Unfortunately, the torrential rainfall on Thursday meant there was no event this week.
On Saturday 24 players ventured out in rather testing conditions for another par round, with the course being wet and golf carts not in use because of the conditions.
James Octigan played a great round and came in with a score of +3, Justin Sargent was square with the card and Kyle Bridgeman finished in third place with a score of –1.
The Jones name featured rather prominently in the nearest the pins, with Mark "Funky" Jones having 3 on the 3rd, 9th and 16th holes and Ian Jones on the 7th.
Ladies Golf did not play in any competitions this week due to the poor weather.
Fourteen hopefuls showed up on Wednesday but they only made it to the 5th hole before play was abandoned.
