The Week That Was...........

It appears that the length of the course makes little difference to the scoring if Saturday's results were anything to go by!!

This week it was the Juniors who set the standard with Clifford Chan amassing a huge 44 points to head off David Isaac on 40 by countback from Mark Thompson with Mark Roundtree following close behind on 39. Only one Intermediate could get to 40 and that was Patrick Guo with Stephen Boyd, despite some tee time problems, recording 39 one ahead of Don Rae on 38 from Mark Henley by countback.

No Seniors made 40 but a visiting Country member Sam Lee got closest with 39 and Ian Currie was solid with 38. Guy Day was officially third on 37 with a number of others on a similar score - David Clarke, Ken Fergus, Phil Loughnan, & Horoshi Naka.

There were 15 two's each receiving $16.65 from a pool of $250. Those of David Clarke and Grant Mitchell require special mention as David holed out on 9, a tricky right mid back position, and Grant Mitchell on 17, a 7 iron that barely left the turf during its entire journey. Well done guys a great score for the Ringers.

Nearest the pins were awarded to Russell Fildes on 3 ($45) and Richard Peate on 11 ($45) but the jackpot failed to fall and $200 carries forward. Andrew Gillespie was the winner of the Linden Leaves prize for nearest to 18 for two. The nett eagles hole drawn was 12 and the pot of $125 was split between Peter Hollister and Joe Tiller.

The first round of the Denniston Cup was concluded with both top qualifiers falling by the wayside although Allan Masters took Barry O'Neill to the 20th. Denniston is another competition we have added to the website so log in and have a look at the results.
