Chris Leaver took out the Senior Championship again this year.  His three round total of 239 was too hot for the rest of the seniors but Rod Mackenzie (256) showed strong form to take second place.

Ryan Thomas on 269 cruised to victory in the Junior Championship with brother Lachlan finishing second.

Rounding out a successful three weeks, Lachlan Thomas also won the RE Cameron award for the best nett score over the 3 rounds of Club Championship.  Lachie’s 3 round nett score of 210 eclipsed the rest of the field with Ian Watson and Chris Leaver on 221 finishing equal second.

Working Bee Re-Turf’s the corner of the 18th fairway.

Well done to the dozen volunteers that turned out to lay the turf on the 18th fairway which had been prepared by Dylan & Dennis on Wednesday.  Timing is everything with these events as if we left the repair until after the coming major events, it would likely be too dry and hot for the turf to root in as easily.  The area is roped off to ensure carts use the left hand side of the fairway and green.  The newly turfed area’s are marked as GUR (compulsory) and relief will be taken at the nearest point, no closer to the green, as per Rule 25-1.

Cart users, when travelling from the 18th green to the 1st hole, please travel behind the 18th green as close to the tree line as possible and then approach the first tee along the bitumen path.

Men’s Club Championships – Round 2

On another perfect day for golf, Round 2 of the Club Championship saw plenty of movement on the leaderboard.

The Club Championship looks to be a race in two with Chris Leaver pegging back two shots today on leader Tom Sorrell.  Tom’s two round score of 156 is one ahead of Chris.  They tee off at 9:24 next Saturday and should be striding down the 18th a little after 1 pm.  A nice gallery around the 18th green to see them home would be great so come along and have a look.

B grade saw Bruce Hutton extend his lead to 5 with Brendan Simon now leading the chasing pack.

C grade – As the AFL commentators say,  you could throw a blanket over the leading 15 or so contenders.  Geoff Maher and Patrick Bowd are equal leaders but the Captain is reading up on the play off rules with a tight finish assured.

D grade has the steady Peter Hobson holding a handy lead over Ian Watson but with a few of the chasing pack capable of producing a top notch round Peter will need to be at his best again next week.
