The 2009 Men's Club Golf season came to a conclusion on Saturday with the playing of the McDougall Christmas Cup, the traditional closing day competition, sponsored by the BNZ represented at the club by Jeff Suddens, Lawson Scott, Alan Scott & Campbell Parker.
Played over 16 holes on a stableford basis the winning score was posted by a morning player Raymond Liong with 40 points on countback - not bad with 2 holes out and cored greens!! Leading home the Senior Grade was Ken Fergus on 36 points from Mitchell Vincent on 35 on countback from Keith Love. The first intermediate in was Hiroshi Naka with 38 points from Brian Adams on 37 by countback from Bryan Graham while a newer member Mark Thompson was the best Junior with 40 from Kevin McSoriley on 36 and Allan Masters on 35.
The two's pool climbed to $270 with 14 winners each receiving $19.30, the jackpot worth $104 was struck by Bryan Graham. Nearest the pins had a value of $35 and were won by Brian Ronan (3), Chris Richmond (7) and Hotta Fumio (11). Nett eagles were worth $115 with hole 17 being drawn and Dennis Maguire & Ray Vivian each taking $57.50. The Linden Leaves sponsored prize for closest to the pin on 2 for 2 was collected by David Kerr.
Nearest to the pin on 18 for 2 sponsored by Bejarong Thai Cuisine was won by Michael Hadley. After the completion of the round the final of the Benjarong Thai Cuisine Shootout was held with Bruce Taylor emerging as the victor with the third of his three attempts, given his strong performance during the year this was probably a "just" result. Many thanks to David Wallace for his on-going support through this sponsorship during the 2009 year.
In what was a busy day two other trophies were on the line for competition first there was the Joe Whitaker Memorial Putting Trophy which was won by Raymond Liong with 25 putts. In the other I played Bruce Taylor in the annual President v Club Captain match. Unfortunately Bruce had to give me a significant number of shots which in the end proved too much and allowed me to slip home - Bruce had 37 on the first nine but was 3 down hardly cricket really!!
Following on we then moved into the 2009 prize giving. Congratulations to all the winners and a special thank you to all those who turned up to receive their trophies in person. Organisation of the event is a major task and we are indebted to Struan Cain for his contribution for all his efforts in this regard. Congratulations to Joe Tiller who was the winner of the 2009 Golfer of the Year title.
