The W McCaughan 4BBB Par and Scratch event has been run and won over Saturday 22nd and 29th of April.
With mother nature dishing out some wet and challenging conditions this last weekend, 71 off the stick by Jason Dennerley and Leroy Sharrock on the first round, would be hard to match.
Best scratch round on the second week was a 73 by Barry Attwood and Russell Williams but with a first round of 76 their combined two round total of 149 was well earned but the title shaky.
Finally, with all cards in, and with a very good score again of 74, the winners of the W McCaughan 4BBB Scratch event for 2017, are Jason Dennerley & Leroy Sharrock with a two round total of 145, over Barry Attwood & Russell Williams with 149, and Trevor Rickard & Steve Fisher on 160.
The leaders from the first week, of the W McCaughan 4BBB Par event with a best round score +10 were Chris Leaver & Peter Hartigan, however with a second round of +2, they knew they were in for a fight for the title.
Three groups finished the two rounds on +12, with the eventual winners identified by countback are John Dumont & Alan Kuhne, from Russell Williams & Barry Attwood ,and Peter Hartigan & Chris Leaver. One shot behind on +11 was the team of Jason Dennerley & Leroy Sharrock.
Well done to all those who competed in this event.
Andy Bassett Men’s Captain.

Tuesday the 18th of April was the final round of the Tuesday Championship. With the best two stableford scores of three rounds counting towards the final score.
After the second round the top 4 scores were:
| Surname | FirstName | Score | Score | Score | Played | |
| McDONALD | GEOFFREY | 33 | 36 | 69 | 2 | 1st |
| GRACE | TERRY | 36 | 32 | 68 | 2 | 2nd |
| McRITCHIE | GRANT | 34 | 33 | 67 | 2 | |
| VORWERG | DAVID | 32 | 35 | 67 | 2 |
But Today, the third Tuedsay, three players hit 39 points and the mix was bound to change.
Unfortunately for Geoff, he didn’t improve on his current scores and had a nervous wait to see if anyone bettered his score.
Best previous rounds were scored by Joe Lowell and Andy Bassett with 39 points, and both were in the box seat to come from behind on such a great day for golf.
Joe rounded off today with a 30 as his second best round leaving him short of Geoff’s mark, and I struggled today with 12 points on the front after starting on the 18th. I came home well and had scored 20 points on the back 8 holes leading onto the last being the 17th. After a strong drive on the final 17th hole I could see a ray of sunshine and that Championship title within reach after the tragedy on the front nine.
The hand of fate then reached out and slapped me as my second shot clipped those trees on the left of the 17th leaving me short of the green, I cruelled my chip and after putting above the hole, paid the penalty by having my final putt run past the hole for a wipe.
But I new 32 was enough to inch past Geoff’s old score. It was just a matter of waiting for all the cards to fall now.
The cards came in, Norm Hughes had a great 39 points but was only backed up by a 27 which left him short of the title. My playing partner Nathan Wardle crafted a lovely 39 also with a big back nine to take the $1.00, also only had a 29 to add to his score which left him short, and with only three cards to come in, I was looking good again with that nett total of 71.
The last card in was another great 39 from Denis Wallace, our Division 5 Pennant Captain and all round Mr Consistency. I checked his other two rounds and saw he had a 31, which I had covered, but his first round was a 33, giving Denis the title of Tuesday Champion for 2017 with a total of 72.
Congratulations again to Denis for a well earned come from behind title.
That’s the best part of this Championship, it’s never over till it’s over.
The other great feature of this event was to see Wendy Anne Parker finish strongly with a 35 finishing equal third. Let’s hope Wendy’s outcome encourages more Women to join in next year.
