The Saturday competition for the Centennial Rosebowl doubled as the qualifying round for the LB Wood Trowel on Sunday and as such both the morning and afternoon fields were reasonably full. The top 33 players were to qualify for Sunday play and the cut line was 33 points on countback notwithstanding this mark there were some exceptionally good scores posted during the day.
Leading the field in with 41 points was a previous Trowel winner Jim Keegan - whose handicap may just have slipped out the odd point or two (I understand he and JB Sanders convincingly dealt to Bryan Andrews and Ant Doyle in the haggle). There were 5 players tied with 38 points and the positions were decided again on countback Peter Phelan from Richard Peate from Tom Maling from Takahiro Koyama from (ever steady) Brian Ronan.
The two's returned a healthy $47.85 for the 7 winners, the jackpot of $65 carries forward. Nearest the pins were both worth $50 won by Gerry Burgess on 3 and Andrew Topp on 11. Nearest the pin for two on 18 sponsored by Benjarong Thai Cuisine was won by Glenn Bongartz. Brian Andrews donated a special prize (a framed Bank of Scotland banknote featuring "old" Tom Morris) for nearest to the pin on 12 for 2. This wonderful prize was won by JB Sanders who nearly holed out. Well done JB and a special thanks to Bryan Andrews.
The nett eagles were particularly sparse but as inevitably happens one of the two holes covered was drawn so the pool of $80 went to Alan Masters on 18.The Linden Leaves prize for nearest to the pin on 2 will be advised separately in due course (ok so its missing from my sheet!!).
