Despite the dire weather predictions from earlier in the week Saturday was overcast and chilly but importantly dry. Again we had a large field that was almost full to capacity apart from a few later tee times. Match of the day was the Dominion Cup a four-ball par competition.
The overall winners on a very impressive score of plus 10 were Graham Purkas & Mike Stenhouse while Brian Ronan & Greg Stanley finished one behind on plus 9. David Blair & John Parkes were third on countback on plus eight from Geoff Brodie & Stewart Sinclair. The two's pool reached $245 and a payout of $16.35 for each of the lucky 15 winners. The two's jackpot was not struck and $65 carries forward.
Nearest the pin on No.3 was Bryan Graham and on No.11 Dennis Maguire $40 each. Nearest the pin for 2 on 2 sponsored by Linden leaves was won by Philip Hong. Playing in the early morning Mitchell Vincent collected the Benjarong Thai Cuisine prize for closest to the pin on 18 and in the circumstances it was awarded to Amanda!!
Net Eagles had hole 11 drawn which would normally be quite safe but on this occasion John Aitchison holed out a bunker shot for a two net 1 to take the pool of $160.00. There may have been a suggestion this was a little bit fortuitous given Dennis Maguire's recounting of the shot which had the ball thinned into the face of the bunker, lobbing out with top spin and disappearing into the hole on the fly. Whatever the case well done John!
It was pleasing to note a marked increase in the pace of play that enabled the field to get around albeit playing 18 in fading light. For those interested yes I did lose my ball on the last but was pleased to find it on Sunday, well hidden in the long grass on the right past the pine tree!!
