BJS INSURANCE TOP GUN SHOOTOUT FINAL

A great finish by Hugh Goodman today with 37 points on this the final qualifying round after 16 weeks. It proves the old adage that “it’s never over ’til its over”.  37 points put Hugh in the mix for the Top Gun Shootout Final with the Top 19 qualifiers now being settled.

With  the earlier withdrawal of Bryan McCorkell and Peter Walsh from the final 19 due to other commitments, Chris Leaver and Norm Hughes hung on with gritted teeth, to positions 18 and 19 for the final.

This left Marea Maher and last years Pop Gun knocking on the door.  It is extremely important that we have 19 starters for the final, so I remind those players in the Top 19, should your circumstances change and you have to withdraw, please let Marea Maher or the club, know as soon as possible.

A briefing will be given by Starter and Play controller, Trevor Steer at 08.45am and Tee Off begins at 09.00am sharp this Sunday, so please be at the Course and register with Trevor at the latest by 08.30am. The weather, I hear, should be in the high 20’s so a perfect day for golf.

It is adviseable to have your “ball marked really well” so you can readily identify it, as there will be 19 of them in play after the first Tee off.  Have a few marked in case you lose one.

The Club will have a drinks cart following the field from which you can purchase the usual hydrations, and a bbq will be provided to players as they round the turn at the 9th.

Spectators are encouraged, and a few spotters would probably speed up play so get into the fun of the day and cruise around with the field and support your tip for the final.

One player will be eliminated each hole and they will be the person with the lowest stableford score for the hole.  If more than one player  has the same low score, then they will participate in a chip off to nearest to the pin. The player finishing furthest from the pin, being eliminated.  The rest progress to the next hole.

We would like to thank our sponsors BJS Insurance for supporting this event. Congratulations to all players that entered and in particular, to the following 19 Top Gun finalist for 2015:
